and the application of these skills to practical problem solving.

Section 4464 is an online Math class. This course uses specialized Math
software, NOT the ETUDES system.

MTH-44 MATHEMATICAL APPLICATIONS
Preq: Must complete MTH 11 with a minimum grade of C or pass appropriate
placement test. This course will cover the topics of percents, US/Metric
units of measurement, Geometry, and the arithmetic of signed numbers , as
well as basic introductions to Statistics and Algebra. Students will: learn how
to convert between fractions , decimals and percents; explore formulas for
area and perimeter of geometric shapes; analyze statistical graphs and measurements ;
and solve basic algebraic equations. Application problems will
be presented and solved in each of the main topic areas with an emphasis
that prepares students for Elementary Algebra.

MTH-55 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA
Preq: Must complete MTH 44 (MTH 54) with a minimum grade of C or
pass appropriate test. This course will cover the topics of operations with
real numbers , solution techniques of single-variable linear equations and
inequalities, graphing linear equations in two variables , solving systems of
linear equations, simplifying and combining polynomials , calculating roots
and radicals, and solving quadratic equations . Students will: learn to solve
applied problems using linear equations, use slope to graph two-variable
linear equations, solve applied problems using two variables, and solve
quadratic equations by factoring and using the Quadratic Formula.
