Mathematics

College Algebra
This introductory course is designed to give students a second chance to master the basic concepts of algebra. Topics include: operations with polynomials, factoring polynomials, algebraic fractions, solving linear and quadratic equations, solving inequalities, radicals, laws of exponents, sequences, series, and sigma notations.
BMA1010.20 / 4 credits
Frank Liotti
Tues. & Thurs., 6:30–10:05 p.m.
Session II: June 10–July 24
Humanities Bldg., Rm. 2061

Communicating Quantitative Information
Students learn basic concepts in quantitative reasoning (numbers, probabilities, basic statistics) and the acquisition and evaluation of quantitative information (databases, searches, spreadsheets). This course directly serves the goal of preparing students for civic engagement by using current events (past and current news stories) as the focal point of study. Students are required to post to online discussion forums, complete short writing assignments, and produce longer articles.

Calculus II
A continuation of BMA 1500. Topics include: differentiation and integration of logarithmic, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions; techniques of integration; arc length; infinite series; improper integrals. Applications include work, growth, and decay problems and volumes of solids of revolution.
Prerequisite: BMA 1500 or equivalent
