MAC - Mathematics: Calculus and Precalculus

MAC 1105 College Algebra . . . . . 3(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAT 1033.
Provides the concepts and techniques of algebra that are needed to understand subjects such as statistics and economics which contain a considerable amount of quantitative reasoning. Is additionally a preparatory course for the study of calculus. Major topics include: the concept of functions, graphs of functions and relations, operations on functions, rational functions, exponentials and logarithms, systems of equations and inequalities, applications. Prerequisite course or appropriate score on placement test is required. Students may earn only 3 semester hours credit toward Gordon Rule for combination of either MAC 1105 and MAC 1140 or MAC 1105/1105L and MAC 1140. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/ALG)

MAC 1114 Trigonometry . . . . . 2(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAC 1105.
Trigonometric functions, their properties and graphs, inverse trigonometric functions, their properties and graphs, trigonometric identities, conditional trigonometric equations; solutions of triangles, vector algebra, parametric equations, polar coordinates, applications. College Algebra or a strong high school algebra background is required. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/MAT).

MAC 1140 Precalculus Algebra . . . . . 3(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAC 1105.
Stresses the aspects of algebra that are important for the calculus sequence. Lays emphasis on graphs in the study of functions and algebraic relations. Covers polynomials; rational functions; logarithmic, exponential, and piecewise defined functions; inequalities; conic sections; matrices; sequences, and series; mathematical induction. Prerequisite course or appropriate score on placement test is required. Students may earn only 3 semester hours credit toward Gordon Rule for combination of either MAC 1105 and MAC 1140 or MAC 1105/1105L and MAC 1140.
