MAT 105 - College Algebra

3 Cr. Hrs.

A basic algebra course beginning with a review of the real number system and basic algebraic properties. It is intended for students who need a terminal course in college algebra and for those who wish to take a more advanced mathematics course but do not have sufficient algebra skills. Topics include sets; real numbers; order of operations; inequalities; polynomial factoring; functions; graphs; exponents; logarithms; first and second degree equations; and systems of equations.

Prerequisite(s): Score of 490+ on Math SAT or 16+ on Math ACT

Students not meeting these prerequisites must enroll in MAT 120 - Mathematics Foundations Lab - when they register for MAT 105 or pass a placement test set by the department.

*Students who must take MAT 140 may take MAT 105 and MAT 107 concurrently. A student with a “C” or better in a math course numbered 140 or higher may not subsequently receive credit for a math course numbered less than 140, unless, due to the student’s major or change of major, the course is a math requirement.
Grading Basis: Letter Grade Repeatable: No Typical Periods Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
