Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 2 · IGETC Area 2A · CSU GE Area B4DescriptionThe first course of a two-semester sequence designed to prepare STEM students for calculus. The course covers advanced algebra topics, including functions and their properties. Focus is on linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, and systems of equations and inequalities, including rate of change and explicit covariational reasoning to investigate and explore relationships between quantities and how these relationships change. Students solve contextualized problems individually and in teams to gain a deeper understanding of functions and their applications.
