Intermediate Algebra

Course Description: This course provides a smooth transition from arithmetic to the
more abstract skills and reasoning abilities developed in a beginning algebra course .
Basic concepts include integers and real numbers , radicals, solving equations and
inequalities, exponents and polynomials , factoring, rational expressions , graphing linear
equations and inequalities , systems of linear equations and inequalities, and quadratic
equations . Technology will be used as an instructional tool in this course.

Required Text: INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA Graphs and Models, 3rd edition by
Bittinger, Ellenbogen, and Johnson

Required Calculator : Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-83 Plus

The required text and calculator must be purchased and brought to class in order to avoid
being dropped from the class.

Required Grade: A “C” or better in order to take Mathematics 1050

Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should
understand each of the following:
  Simplifying algebraic expressions;
 Using properties of exponents ;
  Solving linear equations and inequalities;
  Graphing linear equations and inequalities;
 Solving systems of linear equations and inequalities;
 Solving quadratic equations ;
 Applying all concepts listed above.

Evaluation: A series of four tests with a value of 100 points each will be given on 2/04,
2/20, 3/19, and 4/09. Class participation including pop quizzes and homework will count
up to 100 points. The final exam will be comprehensive in nature and will count 200
points. The final average score will be the total points divided by 7. Grades will be
assigned according to the following scale: A: 93-100; A-: 90-92; B+: 87-89; B: 83-86;
B-:80-82; C+: 77-79; C: 73-76; C-: 70-72; D+: 67-69; D: 63-66; D-: 60-62; F: below
60. Remember the Greensboro College Honor Code as stated in your catalog.

Attendance Policy: You need this course, for without this material you cannot
successfully complete any other mathematics course taught at Greensboro College.
Therefore, you are expected to be present at all regularly scheduled classes. Regular
attendance contributes greatly to academic success, and unnecessary absences are
detrimental to a student’s work.
