MAT 121 Algebra/Trigonometry I

Lecture: 2 Lab: 2 Clinic: 0 Credits: 3

This course provides an integrated approach to technology and the skills required to manipulate, display, and interpret mathematical functions and formulas used in problem solving. Topics include the properties of plane and solid geometry, area and volume, and basic proportion applications; simplification, evaluation, and solving of algebraic equations and inequalities and radical functions; complex numbers; right triangle trigonometry; and systems of equations. Upon completion, students will be able to demonstrate the ability to use mathematics and technology for problem-solving, analyzing and communicating results.

Pre-requisite(s): Take one set from: Set 1: DMA-010, DMA-020, DMA-030, DMA-040 and DMA-050 Set 2: DMA 025, DMA-040, DMA-050 Set 3: DMA-025, DMA-045 Set 4: DMA-010, DMA-020, DMA-030 and DMA-045 Set 5: MAT 003 Set 6: BSP 4003.
Co-requisite(s): MAT 021 if needed.
Course is typically offered in Fall and Spring.
Course has transfer restrictions - 20 years

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
