MATH 1000: College Algebra for Calculus with Studio

Course Description

College Algebra for Calculus with Studio (Math 1000) is a semester-long course designed for students who plan on pursuing further science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) coursework that requires a thorough knowledge of functions and algebraic reasoning. This course is the first in a two-course sequence (together with Math 101) which prepares students for entry into Calculus I (Math 115).
Math 1000 gives students a strong foundation in functions and their behavior by using multiple representations and explicit covariational reasoning to investigate and explore quantities, their relationships, and how these relationships change. Additionally, this course provides students with the algebraic tools necessary to analyze a variety of function types including linear, quadratic, polynomial, power, exponential, and logarithmic functions. This course must be elected together with Math 1001: College Algebra for Calculus Studio. Students can receive credit for only one ofMATH 100,MATH 1000,MATH 104, andMATH 1040. (F, W).
