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): MAT-003 or MAT 035
Course is typically offered in Fall, Spring
Course has transfer restrictions - 20 years

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Apply geometric principles to analyze and solve complex industrial application problems.
Solve proportions, radical expressions, algebraic functions, equations, and inequalities for practical problems.
Solve real-world problems involving right triangles and systems of equations with two or three variables.
