01:640:111 - Precalculus I

Precalculus I (2)

Prerequisite: 01:640:026 or appropriate performance on the placement test in mathematics. Corequisites: 01:640:011 for 01:640:111. This course with 01:640:112 covers the same material as 01:640:115, but at a slower pace. Students may not receive more that 4 normal credits for any combination of 01:640:111-112, and 115.

Algebraic expressions, algebraic equations, inequalities, functions, and graphing.
