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 in one variable; graphing linear equations; evaluating logarithmic expressions; solving logarithmic equations; problem solving; logical thought and reasoning; polynomial arithmetic; operations with integer exponents.

MATH 0101 is the mandatory co-requisite course for those Learning Support Mathematics students enrolled in MATH 1010. A learning support course is required for students whose ACT or ACCUPLACER mathematics scores indicate a need for co-requisite mathematics coursework. Topics include real number operations, manipulation of algebraic expressions, evaluation and simplification of variable expressions, equation solving, and critical thinking. Students must demonstrate mastery of all required competencies in order to earn a passing grade.

Students enrolled in MATH 0101 must also be enrolled in MATH 1010 during the same semester. Any degree seeking student enrolled in a Learning Support course must also enroll in MSCC 1300, First Year Experience, during his or her first semester.
