MATH 0630 - Learning Support for Finite Mathematics

3 sem hrs cr

This course is a study of the properties of the real number system, arithmetic operations with rational numbers and order of operations; evaluation and simplification of variable expressions; determining solutions of linear equations and inequalities in one variable; graphing linear equations and inequalities; solving systems of linear equations and inequalities; utilizing matrices; exponential rules and applications; problem solving; polynomial arithmetic; polynomial factorization.

 

MATH 0630 is the mandatory co-requisite course for those Learning Support Mathematics students enrolled in MATH 1630. A learning support course is required for students whose ACT or COMPASS mathematics scores indicate a need for co-requisite mathematics coursework. Topics include real number operations, manipulation of algebraic expressions, graph analysis, equation solving, and critical thinking. Students must demonstrate mastery of all required competencies in order to earn a passing grade.

Students enrolled in MATH 0630 must also be enrolled in MATH 1630 during the same semester.
