MATH 083 (online) Syllabus

Course Syllabus:  MATH 083 (online) Fall 2018 Syllabus

Meet Your Instructor:  Hi.  Welcome to MATH 083 (online).  I will be your instructor, Professor Kyle Bradley.  This is my fifth year as a full-time math instructor at Santa Ana College.  Before teaching full-time at Santa Ana College, I worked here part-time teaching evening classes as well as teaching part-time at Long Beach City College.  My previous teaching experience also includes teaching full-time as a high school math teacher.  I enjoy traveling as much as possible and being active working out at CrossFit. 

Course Description: 

A combined course in algebra that includes systems of equations, inequalities, graphs, and functions, radicals, quadratic polynomials, rational expressions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and problem solving aimed specifically at liberal arts and social science majors going into MATH 105, MATH 204, or MATH 219. MATH 083 prepares you for the SLAM path. If you change to the BSTEM path and will be taking MATH 140, you will need to do additional work before you have met the prerequisite. 

Textbook Information:  OER MATH 083 Lesson Packet (available in the SAC bookstore or as a printable PDF online)

Student Learning Objectives: 

Students will be able to construct and analyze consumer graphs; apply linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and exponential equations and functions numerically, graphically, or algebraically, in appropriate applications; and find models of best fits for given sets of data.
