This developmental mathematics course focuses on basic mathematical principles and arithmetic operations. Topics covered include estimation, operations with fractions and decimals, percent, ratio, proportion, exponents, and an introduction to geometry and algebra. There is a major emphasis on translating word phrases and developing problem solving techniques. The use of appropriate technology is integrated throughout the course. This course earns non-mathematics elective credit toward a degree (subject to maximum quarter hour limit), but does not apply towards requirements in general studies or a math major, minor, or concentration. This course is taken on a Pass/No Credit basis. Prerequisite(s): Placement. 5 quarter hours

This developmental course in algebra skills includes rational number arithmetic, integer exponents, solutions of first degree equations and inequalities in one and two variables, polynomial operations, factoring, literal equations, radical expressions, and solutions of second degree equations. Problem solving techniques and appropriate technology are integrated throughout. The course is intended for students who lack credit in high school algebra or who need a review of algebra. The course earns non-mathematics elective credit (subject to maximum quarter hour limit), and does not apply towards requirements in general education or a math major, minor, or concentration. This course is taken on a Pass/No Credit basis. Prerequisite(s): Placement or LAM 100A. 5 quarter hours
