This is the first course in a two-semester sequence of intermediate algebra and trigonometry with technical applications. Course topics include operations in the real number system, units of measurement and approximate numbers, functions and graphs, first-degree equations, lines and linear functions, systems of linear equations, right triangle trigonometry, geometry (perimeters, areas, volumes of common figures), rules of exponents, polynomial operations, factoring, operations on rational expressions, quadratic equations, and binary and hexadecimal notation. The use of a graphing calculator is required for this course to further the exploration of these topics and their applications. Near the end of the course, students will complete a comprehensive, departmental final exam to assess their preparedness to move on to MAT 205 Technical Mathematics II.
