MATH 127 - Advanced College Algebra

4 CR
This is a preparatory course in the calculus sequence where functions will be explored geometrically, numerically, symbolically, and in written form thorough verbal descriptions. Emphasis will be placed on modeling of real-life problems using different types of functions such as linear, higher-degree-polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Students will develop algebraic proficiency and inquiry through reading, writing and problem solving in an interactive classroom environment.
