Precalculus Course Overview
- MATH 1011 is a three-credit precalculus course that was intentionally designed to prepare students for subsequent college-level calculus courses. This course will review a variety of the prerequisite mathematical concepts necessary for calculus. Topics include rational functions, trigonometric functions, polar coordinates, sequences and series, probability, and a brief introduction to continuity. Each of these topics will be applied to real-world situations that can be modeled mathematically. In this course, students will practice communicating the realistic applications of each of these topics.
*This course is considered an upper-level undergraduate course (300 level or above)
Precalculus Course Outcomes
- Interpret graphical information of rational and trigonometric functions.
