3 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.


Prerequisites: MATH 1314 .
M

This course is intended to build or reinforce a foundation in fundamental mathematics concepts and skills. It includes the conceptual development of the following: sets, functions, numeration systems, number theory, and properties of the various number systems with an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking.

Additional Fees: $15

Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Explain and model the arithmetic operations for whole numbers and integers. Explain and model computations with fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages. Describe and demonstrate how factors, multiples, and prime numbers are used to solve problems. Apply problem solving skills to numerical applications. Represent and describe relationships among sets using the appropriate mathematical terminology and notation. Compare and contrast structures of numeration systems.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a mathematics lab. The main campus lab will be open at least 20 hours each week and will be staffed by the lab director, regular math faculty members and peer tutors. Labs in Hutto and Taylor will be open a limited number of hours as posted at those facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with center directors for available tutoring at the Taylor and Hutto locations.

While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites.

MyMathLab is used in most classes.
