Course Description
This course, followed by MATH 153, prepares students for the study of calculus. Topics include functions and function notation, rate of change and linear functions, quadratic functions, power functions, polynomial functions, and rational functions, transformations of functions, a review of right triangle trigonometry, graphing trigonometric functions, trigonometric functions through the unit circle, some basic trigonometric identities, and applications leading to sinusoidal graphs. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, including graphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. A graphing calculator is required; the specific model is determined by the Mathematics Department. (Prerequisites: a grade of "C" or higher in MATH-151 or equivalent)
