MATH-143 Precalculus I or higher core course
In this course, students will further develop their Precalculus skills. The concept of a function as a tool to model the real world will play a central role. Polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions will be studied, along with transformations of functions, operations on functions, and inverse functions. A graphical approach will be utilized throughout, with an emphasis on solving application problems. Graphing calculators and mathematical software will be employed throughout the course. All sections require the use of the interactive computer program that comes with the text. This course replaces MATH-131.
Prerequisite
