Course Description: This is the first of two web-based courses designed to provide students with the necessary preparation for studying calculus and other college mathematics courses. This course reviews algebraic properties and then introduces functions and graphs. As students continue with the course, they will learn about algebraic and inverse functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, matrices, determinants, complex numbers, and discrete algebra. Throughout the course, they will discover examples of mathematics in daily life.
