Prerequisite: Appropriate placement as defined by AB705 or, MATH 098 or MATH 091 with a grade of "C" or better. This course is a continuation of Math 110 and focuses on the conceptual understanding needed to teach elementary school mathematics. Topics include the geometry, including the development of geometric formulas, transformational geometry, similarity, relationships between shapes, English and metric measurements, Pythagorean Theorem and problem solving. (CSU) (UC credit limited. See a counselor)

Prerequisite: Appropriate placement as defined by AB705 or, MATH 098 or MATH 091 with a grade of ?C? or better. The study of trigonometric functions, their inverses and their graphs, trigonometric identities and proofs related to trigonometric expressions, trigonometric equations, solving right triangles, solving triangles using Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines, and polar coordinates. (CSU)

Prerequisite: MATH 150 with a grade of "C" or better. This course presents a study of the techniques of calculus with emphasis placed on the application of these concepts to business and management related problems. Students take this course to prepare for courses for which calculus is recommended and/or required, as well as to study the ideas and concepts of advanced mathematics as applied to a modern computerized society. Topics covered include pre-calculus concepts, applications of derivatives and integrals of functions including polynomials, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, differential equations, and functions of several variables. (C-ID MATH 140) (CSU) (UC credit limited. See a Counselor.)

Prerequisite: MATH 194 with a grade of "C" or better. A first course in linear algebra intended for students majoring in mathematics, the physical sciences, engineering or business. This course develops the techniques and theory needed to solve and classify systems of linear equations. Solution techniques include row operations, Gaussian elimination, and matrix algebra. Investigates the properties of vectors in two and three dimensions, leading to the notion of an abstract vector space. Vector space and matrix theory are presented including topics such as inner products, norms, orthogonality, eigenvalues, eigenspaces, and linear transformations. Selected applications of linear algebra are included. (C-ID MATH 250) (CSU, UC)

Corequisite: MATH 140 This course is intended for students to take concurrently with Math 140. Included will be the review of rectangular coordinate system; introduction to functions and graphs; factoring polynomials; solving linear and quadratic equations; operations on polynomial, rational and radical expressions. (Nontransferable, nondegree applicable)

Corequisite: MATH 170 This course is intended for students to take concurrently with Math 170. Included will be the solving linear, quadratic, rational, radical, logarithmic and exponential equations; operations on matrices, introduction to functions, operations on polynomials. (Nontransferable, nondegree applicable)

Prerequisite: Must be referred by an instructor or a counselor based on an "assessed academic need." Tutoring and Learning activities outside of class. Students must be enrolled in an ESL, basic skills, pre-collegiate or collegiate-level course and must be referred by an instructor or counselor. The class assists students in achieving their course of study objectives and improving learning and study skills. Students work with faculty-recommended, trained, and supervised tutors.
