Topics include the study of numeracy and the real number system; proportional reasoning, algebraic concepts, notation, and reasoning; quantitative relationships; probability, sets, interpreting tables and graphs; mathematical models; and problem solving.

This class is a co-requisite course for MATH 110, Mathematics in Society, which supports success through student-centered instruction. Topics to be covered are those prerequisite skills necessary to learn the content of MATH 110, such as numeracy, proportional reasoning, equations/formulas, graphs and skills for academic success. Corequisite: MATH 110.

A review of the core prerequisite skills, competencies, and concepts needed in statistics. Intended for students who are concurrently enrolled in MATH 210, Elementary Statistics. Topics include concepts from arithmetic, elementary algebra, and descriptive statistics that are needed to understand the basics of college-level statistics. Additional emphasis is placed on just in time skills and concepts.

This class is a co-requisite course for MATH 103, College Algebra. This course is designed to support the content covered in MATH 103 by addressing prerequisite skills required for the topics in MATH 103. Topics include concepts from arithmetic and elementary and intermediate algebra. Additional emphasis is placed on just in time skills and concepts, solving and graphing linear equations and modeling with linear functions.

This course will review the core prerequisite skills, competencies, and concepts needed in trigonometry. Intended for students who are concurrently enrolled in MATH 105, Trigonometry. It includes topics such as angle measurements, trigonometric functions, identities, equations, and general applications. Additional emphasis is placed on just in time skills and concepts. This does not satisfy any graduation requirements. It is offered only through Academic Services. Corequisite: MATH 105.
