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. (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 or MAC 1140. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/ALG)

MAC 2233        Calculus with Business Applications . . . . . 3(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAC 1105
Sets and functions; derivatives; areas under a curve; integration; exponentials and logarithms; applications of derivatives and integrals. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/MAT)

MAC 2311        Analytic Geometry and Calculus I . . . . . 4(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAC 1114 and MAC 1140
Differential and Integral Calculus of Algebraic, Trigonometric, and Transcendental functions of single variables. Related applications. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/MAT)

MAC 2312        Analytic Geometry and Calculus II . . . . . 4(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: MAC 2311
Application of the Definite Integral. Hyperbolic and Inverse Trigonometric Functions. Methods of Integration. Sequences and Infinite Series. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math) and (General Studies Course: MAT/MAT)
