MATH-011A Units: 5
This is the first course in the algebra sequence in preparation for college-level mathematics. Topics include: operations on signed numbers and on polynomical and rational expressions; methods for the solution of linear, quadratic and rational equations, and linear inequalities. The solution of word problems by algebraic formulation is integrated throughout the course. Optional topics may include methods for solving systems of linear equations and roots and radicals. This 5-unit version of basic algebra is designed for students who have never before
satisfactorily completed an algebra course. Only three units are applicable toward the associate degree. Completion with a grade “C” or better fulfills the
mathematics competency requirement for the AS degree.
