MTA Mathematics Satisfier Y
Session Cycle: FWSU
This course covers the topics of polynomial equations, inequalities, exponential and logarithmic equations. Also included are systems of equations and complex numbers. Students will be expected to demonstrate the ability to work with mathematics numerically, graphically, analytically and verbally. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to college-level mathematics at a more gradual pace than MATH 164 . MATH 157 and MATH 159 together are the equivalent of MATH 164.
Notes: Science/Mathematics Division
Theory Hours: 45
Learning Outcomes: 1. Solve and graph linear equations.
2. Solve and graph quadratic and higher-order polynomial functions.
3. Solve and graph equations involving exponential and logarithmic functions.
4. Solve rational, radical and absolute value equations and inequalities.
5. Solve systems of equations and inequalities.
6. Apply matrix theory to solve systems of equations.
