Prerequisite: MATH 100B or MATH 101 with a grade of
C, CR, P or better, or placement through the assessment
process, or equivalent. A study of mathematical
modeling with linear, absolute value, quadratic,
exponential and logarithmic functions through verbal,
numerical, algebraic and graphical representations.
Other topics include systems of linear and nonlinear
equations, linear and nonlinear inequalities and rational
exponents. The use of graphing calculators is required.
This course is prerequisite to undergraduate transfer
general education mathematics courses. Graphing
calculator required; T183/84 recommended. (MJC

Concept topics include patterns and symbolic
representation, estimation, visual models for operations,
fractions, decimals, percents, perimeter, area, volume,
mean, mode, median, ratio, proportion , prime
factoring, theoretical and empirical probabilities and
student skills. This course is taught in a visual and
computational way and is designed to help the student
build a meaningful, internal, intuitive mathematical
framework. It includes the "why" behind computation.

Prerequisite: MATH 601 with a grade of C, CR, P or
better, or placement through the assessment process,
or equivalent. Designed to help students prepare
for algebra and applied math courses by reviewing
fundamental operations of arithmetic and common
geometric formulas, and introducing the algebraic
concepts of simplifying expressions, polynomial
arithmetic, and solving linear equations. Arithmetic
reviewed includes calculation with integers, decimals,
and fractions. Ratios, percents, and their applications
are also studied.

The class above is part of the First Semester Experience and meets in the Manzanita Conference Room. For more information, please refer to page 25.

This course provides students opportunities to review
or learn mathematics in an individualized, self-paced
setting. Topics include: Basic Math, Prealgebra,
Beginning Algebra, Introduction to Geometry,
Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry,
Precalculus, and Introduction to Statistics. Offered for
Pass/No Pass grading only. May be repeated two times.
NOTE: Students are required to attend a two-hour
orientation and assessment session. Sessions will be
held at the times and locations listed below. Please
note that the course requires a subscription to the
ALEKS computer program, which must be purchased
at the Manzanita Bookstore prior to the orientation
session.
