Last Update Date – September, 2011

 * //Prerequisites//**//:// A placement examination will be given. (Students should also have a strong background in basic arithmetic and algebraic skills).

Brooks/Cole Publishers; 9th Edition ISBN 978-0-8400-6420-2 www.CengageBrain.com (discount site) 1st couple of sections until you receive your book:
 * //Required Textbook://** __Intermediate Algebra__, by Charles P. McKeague; Thomson-


 * //Course Requirements://**


 * Attendance-** Students should arrive to class on time, and to attend class on a regular basis. An excessive number of latenesses and/or absences, may result in a deduction of the final grade for the course.


 * Homework-** Homework will be assigned at each class meeting.

(or any percentage determined by the instructor). Each examination is in-class and closed- book.
 * Examinations-** The midterm examination will count 50% towards the final grade for the course, and the final examination will count 50% towards the final grade for the course


 * //Course Description://** Review of basic arithmetic and algebraic properties. Also, topics that will provide a strong foundation for more advanced mathematics courses will be discussed. These topics include equations and inequalities in one and two variables; solving systems of linear equations (using algebraic and graphing techniques); exponents and rational expressions; quadratic functions; and an introduction to exponential and logarithmic functions.


 * //Course Objectives://** The purpose of this course is to enable students to…


 * Strengthen their basic mathematical and algebraic skills.
 * Utilize these skills to solve application problems.
 * Graph equations in one and two variables.
 * Solve systems of equations, using graphing and algebraic techniques.
 * Solve quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula.
