Topics include rational, irrational and complex numbers; fundamental operations on algebraic expressions and functions; introduction to polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, equations and graphs; circles and parabolas. Emphasis is on advanced algebraic factoring and simplification. MATH 20 serves as a prerequisite to all college level math classes. Students whose terminal math course is MATH 54 or MATH 21 may want to consider taking MATH 18 or MATH 50 instead.
