Transfers ToCSUDescriptionMATH 384 Foundations for Calculus Units: 4 Hours: 72 hours LEC Prerequisite: None. Corequisite: MATHS 84 Transferable: CSU; UC General Education: Local GE L2 This course is designed for STEM majors who must strengthen their foundational Algebra and Trigonometry skills before entering Calculus I (MATH 400). Topics include solving absolute value, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric equations. In addition, inequalities involving absolute value, polynomial, and rational expressions are explored. Students will also learn to evaluate and graph functions (including piecewise, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational, and trigonometric functions), and apply the Laws of Logarithms. Topics from Trigonometry include the six trigonometric functions, their inverses, and their applications, primarily from a right triangle perspective, with an introduction to the unit circle. While this course provides a solid foundation for the student to enter MATH 400, additional topics from Algebra and Trigonometry, taught in the corequisite course to MATH 400, will be required to succeed through Calculus I.Usually HeldMon Wed 10:30am–12:35pm, Mon Wed 9:00am–11:05am, Mon Wed 12:00pm–2:05pm, Tue Thu 1:00pm–3:05pm
