Textbook: Basic College Mathematics by Tobey and Slater; 5th edition,
2005.
IV. Overall objectives:
1. Perform operations with whole numbers.
2. Introduce order of operations .
3. Perform operations with signed numbers .
4. Perform operations with rational numbers.
5. Solve proportion and percent problems.
6. Solve word problems.
7. Read and interpret graphs and tables.
8. Introduce square roots .
9. Find area and perimeter of plane figures.
V. Attendance Policy:
