This course focuses on the concepts and applications of trigonometry. The primary goal is to prepare students for their calculus course. Topics covered include the basics of the trigonometric functions and their graphs and applications, trigonometric identities and equations, the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines, vectors, complex numbers, conic sections, parametric equations and polar coordinates. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 111 or 112. QL
Linear equations and functions, systems of equations, quadratic equations and functions, functions and graphs, polynomial and rational functions, exponentials and logarithmic functions, and conic sections. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL
Review of basic algebra, linear equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or successful completion of 091. Students who successfully completed 091 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite. QL
