The course includes: the real number system; order of operations; simplifying expressions; solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable; applications and modeling; overview of graphing; linear equations in two variables; and relations and functions. These topics are taught using an approach that integrates algebraic, graphic and numeric methods whenever possible. Not open to students with credit for MATH 103 or above.

Note about this course: this course has been through several change-of-hands.  Due to the death of the second official instructor, I have picked up this class shortly before the second exam. Attached are scans for the original and modified syllabus/schedule. All other attached documents are mine unless otherwise noted.  See the Summer 2009 course linked at the bottom of this page for complete syllabus, exams, quizzes and study guides per my usual.
