Mathematics

As Needed
This course is designed to prepare students for college-level mathematics.  Topics include a review of fractions, decimals, and percents, followed by introductory levels of variable expressions, linear equations, polynomials, factoring, exponents, and graphing linear equations.  This course will not count toward graduation, will not earn college credit, and will not be used in QPA calculations.  

Fall, Summer
This course is designed to give students expanded fundamental knowledge of mathematical applications for personal use and business applications. A review of fractions, decimals, percents, and formulae are included in the course.

Fall
This course is designed to prepare students for mathematics they will use working in technical and trade fields. The student will review basic math skills working with whole number, decimals, and fractions. The student will learn applied geometry, basic algebraic operations, and introduction to trigonometric functions. Application problems will allow students to use the concepts that are learned to solve practical problems.

Fall
In this course, students will use a variety of materials for learning, using conceptual models to perform mathematics, performing activities that develop new perspectives, and demonstrating competence in mathematics. Topics include whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percent, numeration systems, integers, sets, and logic and number theory.

Spring
In this course, students will use a variety of materials for learning, using conceptual models to perform mathematics, performing activities that develop new perspectives, and demonstrating competence in mathematics. This course enables students to become insightful professionals who are able to understand and communicate mathematical principles to others. Topics include proportions, percents, real numbers, algebraic equations, statistics, probability, measurement, and basic and coordinate geometry.

Spring, Summer
This course is designed to prepare students for higher level mathematics through a mastery of algebraic concepts. Topics include factoring, laws of exponents, polynomials, equations and linear inequalities, graphing (using linear equations and inequalities), functions, rational expressions, and radicals.

Fall, Summer
This course is designed to give healthcare students financial knowledge related to measurement and apothecary conversions, with a focus on reading medication labels as well as the use of medicine cups, syringes, and intravenous medication and fluid bags for the purpose of safe medication administration. Students will gain additional in-depth learning of arithmetic operations, without the use of a calculator, on whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.

Fall, Spring, Summer
Students enrolled in this course should have a strong background in basic and intermediate algebra. Topics include a more in-depth study of expressions, solving equations, solving inequalities, circles, and a detailed study of functions including polynomial, logarithmic, and exponential functions.  

Spring
This course is designed for the student who needs to strengthen the algebraic, geometric, and trigonometric skills necessary for calculus.  Topics include a detailed study of graphs, functions (including polynomial, rational, and trigonometric functions), analytic trigonometry, systems of equations and inequalities, vectors, and limits. 

Fall, Spring, Summer
This course provides the student with an opportunity to learn and apply mathematical concepts.  Applications include problems from various fields.  Sources of data, sampling, collection methods and processing of statistical data, frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and dispersion, probability theory, confidence intervals, tests for significance, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression analysis will be covered.  Emphasis will be placed on concepts, definitions, and analysis.  Most calculations will be done through MyStatLab with StatCrunch while a few will be done with formulas and a scientific calculator.

Fall
This course is designed to foster an understanding of mathematical ideas and how to use formal proof techniques to determine the validity of these ideas.  The topics include sets, set theory, formal proof techniques, relations and functions, algorithms, number theory, and proper mathematical terminology and notations.

Spring, Summer
