MTH 167

Precalculus Mathematics I

Detailed study of functions including linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, root/radical/power, exponential, logarithmic and piecewise-defined functions; graphing techniques; solutions of a variety of equations and of systems of linear equations; solutions of polynomial and rational inequalities. This course makes extensive use of online software for computer assisted instruction, assessment, and testing. Some class meetings will be held in a computer laboratory setting and students are expected to use the software on a self-paced, out-of-class basis to supplement regular in-class meetings. Only 3 credit hours of MTH 165 or MTH 167 will count towards graduation requirements.
