MATH 155 Precalculus I & II
In this course, students with prior precalculus experience will further develop their skills. The concept of a function as a tool to model the real world will play a central role. Polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions will be studied, along with transformations of functions, operations on functions, and inverse functions. A graphical approach will be utilized throughout, with an emphasis on solving application problems. Graphing calculators and mathematical software will be employed throughout the course. All sections require the use of the interactive computer program that comes with the software code. This course replaces MATH 131.
