Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis course offers an accelerated option for preparation for Elementary Algebra. The material covered is equivalent to that covered separately in MATH 81 (Basic Arithmetic) and MATH 84 (Prealgebra). This course develops number and operation sense with regard to whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, mixed numbers, and decimals. Grouping symbols, order of operations, estimation and approximation, scientific notation, ratios, percents, proportions, geometric figures, and units of measurement with conversions are included. An introduction to algebraic topics, including simple linear equations, algebraic expressions and formulas, and practical applications of the material also are covered. All topics will be covered without the use of a calculating device. Students who desire a slower pace should enroll in the MATH 81/84 sequence. Course credit will not be applied toward satisfaction of Associate degree requirements.
