MATH 1010 - INTEGRATED ALGEBRA (QS)

Credits: 4
This course bridges the gap between developmental/Secondary Math III and PreCalculus or a technical certificate. Topics of study include: functions; quadratic equations; polynomial and rational expressions; radicals and complex numbers; exponential expressions (negative and rational exponents) and logarithmic expressions; introduction to conic sections. Real world applications of algebra will be addressed throughout the course and topics will be presented in a conceptual and integrated approach.

HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS:

• 2 hours of homework outside of class, for every hour you spend in class.
• You are expected to work homework assignments from each section that we cover by the next class.
• You are encouraged to work more exercises than those assigned as regular practice is essential in learning mathematics.
• You will be asked to complete at least one project in this class.

Please note: Many students find that much more time is required in order to perform as well as they desire on exams.

EXAM EXPECTATIONS:

• Four, hour long exams and one final exam.
• All examinations are closed book.
• Full credit will be awarded on test problems only if your work can be readily followed and solutions are precise and correctly notated.
• No exam grade will be dropped.
• Graphing calculators are not allowed on exams.

FINAL EXAM:

• All students must take the final exam.
• The final will be comprehensive, emphasizing topics listed under the course objectives.
• You will be asked to complete approximately 25 problems in two hours.
• You must receive higher than a 60% on the final in order to earn a grade higher than a D.
