MATH 124 - College Algebra

Credits: 3

Description
Practical applications are the focal point of this course. Topics include equations and inequalities; linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs; solutions of systems of linear equations; matrices; and sequences and series. Note: This course does NOT serve as a Prerequisite for MATH 127 nor is it sufficiently rigorous for entry into calculus
