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.
