Course Description: This course is a non-credit mathematics course designed to better prepare you for your future credit math class, Elementary Math and Statistics or Precalculus. While this course does not count toward your required credits for the AA degree, your course grade does appear on your transcript. We will be discussing sets, linear and quadratic equations, graphing, polynomials, radicals and systems of equations among other topics.

Test Topics:
Test 1 This test deals with the order of operations,
exponents, scientific notation, properties of real numbers, and working
with linear equations.
It will also include word problems and the algebra of functions.
Test 2 This test will cover working with various forms of
linear
equations, graphing linear equations and working with linear
inequalities.
It will
also cover solving systems of linear equations by Graphing, by
Substitution
and by Elimination.
Test 3 This test will cover adding, subtracting,
multiplying
and how to factor polynomials. It will also cover how to how to add,
subtract,
multiply and
divide rational functions.
Test 4 This test will cover complex rational expressions,
division
of polynomials, using rational equations, and some applications.
It also
covers radicals, quadratic equations, and quadratic graphs.
Grading Policy:

*If you have an "A" average after the first 4 exams (nothing dropped) then you are exempt from the final exam provided you come to class and complete all work through section 11.1.
Class Guidelines:
1. You are responsible for all class material if you miss a class.
2. If you miss a test you must have a documented medical excuse,
or a reason I feel is appropriate, in order to take a makeup.
Please
contact me at
the office or at home within 24 hours if this
happens to let me know what is wrong.
3. Homework will be reviewed during class and the Friday lab.
4. Lab attendance is required until the first test. If you
maintain a "C" average lab will become optional. If at any time your
average
falls below a
"C", you will be expected to come to the lab.
5. If for some reason you cannot make a Friday lab, see me before that lab to set up an appointment to look over your homework.
6. Although the tests are worth 100 points, there will be some
pop
quizzes given at various times that will give you an opportunity for
extra
credit.
These quizzes are similar to homework and there
will be no makeup quizzes given.
7. Only non-graphing calculators will be permitted. If you need to borrow one for a test a few will be available.
8. Most of your tests require graphing. You are to bring
your
own graph paper for these tests.
