Course Description:

Proficiency Algebra is a course designed to prepare the student for the calculus sequence by reviewing and mastering the necessary algebra found in the regular coursework of the calculus sequence. All good calculus students are proficient in the material found in this course. We will cover the body of algebra found in most high school 9th-11th grade math sequences, which includes working with rational exponents and radicals of various indices, all aspects of linear functions and equations, factoring non-linear expressions, solving non-linear equations, introduction to relations and function theory, the exponential function and the logarithm function. This course is not for credit and does not count towards one's cumulative GPA, but the grade does appear on one's transcript, counts towards the semester GPA, and counts towards credit enrollment. It is necessary to pass this course with a grade of C or better to move onto MAT 118, 122, 123 or AMS 101 (you may also enter AMS 101 with a 2+ on the placement exam, but admittance into other courses mentioned requires a 3 or a passing grade in MAP 103). This course does NOT satisfy the DEC C requirement but does satisfy the S1 skills requirement.
