Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
Define, represent, and perform operations on real and complex numbers.
Recognize, understand, and analyze features of a function.
Recognize and use algebraic (field) properties, concepts, procedures (including factoring), and algorithms to combine, transform, and evaluate absolute value, polynomial, radical, and rational expressions.
Identify and solve absolute value, polynomial, radical, and rational equations.
Identify and solve absolute value and linear inequalities.
Model, interpret, and justify mathematical ideas and concepts using multiple representations.
Connect and use multiple stands of mathematics in situations and problems, as well as in the study of other disciplines.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a Math Tutorial Center.  The Main Campus lab will be open a minimum of 40 hours each week and will be staffed by the Lab Coordinator, math faculty members, or peer tutors.  Labs in Hutto and Taylor will be open a limited number of hours as posted at these facilities.  Hours vary each semester.  Check with Center Directors for available tutoring at the Hutto and Taylor 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.  MyLabsPlus is used in most classes.
