Math 83 Syllabus

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. Students are expected to use their prerequisite basic algebra skills from Pre-Algebra (Math N48).

Textbook Information: 
Students will need the MML Student Access Kit and may choose to purchase a hard copy of the Almy, Math Lit 2/e, Pearson, 2017, textbook.  These items are available in the campus bookstore or at www.mymathlab.com.  After purchasing the MML Student Access Kit you will need to log into MyLab and Mastering web page.

Course Learning Objectives: 
Students will be able to accurately use estimation to determine whether a given answer is reasonable; apply problem solving techniques to every day situations; computer percent increase/decrease; compute simple and compound interest; and apply empirical and theoretical probability to given situations.

 
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.
