MATH 1111 provides an in-depth study of the properties of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions as needed for pre-calculus and calculus. Emphasis is on using algebraic and graphical techniques for solving problems involving linear, quadratic, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
As a result of completing this course, students will be able to:
- Interpret numerical, analytical and graphical approaches to solution of problems that can be expressed algebraically.
- Solve linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic equations.
- Develop mathematical knowledge for real world problems.

The standard 10-point scale will be used to assign letter grades, but the cut-offs may be lowered to arrive at a standard distribution for the course:
A: [90%, 100%]; B: [80%, 90%); C: [70%, 80%); D: [60%, 70%); F: [0, 60%)
You are expected to come prepared and actively participate in every class session. In the event of an absence, you are responsible for all missed materials and any additional announcements or schedule changes given in class. The instructor is not responsible for re-teaching missed information. Students should refer to the class calendar to know what information was covered while they were not in class. Students are advised to get contact information from a fellow classmate who they can contact if they need to get copies of notes.
Students who are absent because of participation in approved Institute activities (such as field trips, professional conferences, and athletic events) will be permitted to make up the work missed during their absences. Approval of such activities will be granted by the Student Academic and Financial Affairs Committee of the Academic Senate, and statements of the approved absence may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
In the event of a medical emergency or an illness that is severe enough to require medical attention, students are responsible for contacting the Office of the Vice President and Dean of Students (Division of Student Life) as soon as possible to report the medical issue or emergency, providing dated documentation from a medical professional and requesting assistance in notifying their instructors.
