MTH 151 - Pre-Calculus

4 Credits; 4 Class Hours
1 Lab Hours
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical preparation necessary for a successful study of calculus. It also gives students in general education an opportunity to fulfill their desire for a mature investigation and understanding of the level of mathematics beyond the Algebra sequence through the study of real functions. In the study of the properties of real functions, both analytical and graphical methods will be used. Whenever possible, an effort will be made to apply mathematics to problems in the sciences and other disciplines. Topics include absolute value equations and inequalities; polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions and composite and inverse functions. Computers and calculators will be utilized throughout the course to enhance understanding of mathematics concepts.

Pre-requisite: MTH 136 or MTH 138
