[email protected] SPRING 2021 - COURSE LISTINGS Please refer to the online schedule to access course section details and the course record numbers (CRNs) for registration. - NONCREDIT - MATH NMAT 200C CONCURRENT SUPPORT SLAM MATH 0.0 Units Concurrent Support for SLAM Math is for students interested in disciplines that require Statistics and Liberal Arts Mathematics (SLAM) courses. This course offers structured support to students who are concurrently enrolled in a first-level transfer course, such as Statistics and Mathematics for Liberal Arts, and Finite Mathematics. The support course includes material to prepare students for the rigor of the transfer math course by teaching learning skills necessary to succeed in college courses as well as review of relevant prerequisite algebraic and geometric concepts, and more in-depth investigation of core concepts in their concurrent math course. Corequisite: MATH 40 or MATH 47 or MATH 33 - This is a one-way corequisite for Math 40. Everyone taking this NMAT 200C concurrent support course must be taking a Math 40, 47 or 33 class concurrently. However, not everyone taking Math 40, Math 47 or Math 33 would have to take this NMAT 200C concurrent support course. NMAT 201C CONCURRENT SUPPORT BSTEM MATH 0.0 Units Concurrent Support for BSTEM Math is for students interested in Business, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical fields. This course offers structured support to students who are concurrently enrolled in a first-level transfer course, such as College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Business Calculus. The support course includes material to prepare students for the rigor of the transfer math course by teaching learning skills necessary to succeed in college courses as well as review of relevant prerequisite algebraic and geometric concepts, and more in-depth investigation of core concepts in their concurrent math course. Corequisite: MATH 30 or MATH 39 or MATH 34 - This is a one-way corequisite. Everyone taking this NMAT 201C concurrent support course must be taking a Math 30, Math 39 or Math 34 class concurrently. However, not everyone taking Math 30 or Math 39 or Math 34 would have to take this NMAT 201C concurrent support course. NMAT 202C CONCURRENT SUPPORT FOR MATH 0.0 Units This course is just-in-time concurrent support for students enrolled in a first-level transfer course, such as Statistics, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Business Calculus, Mathematics for Liberal Arts, and Finite Mathematics. The support course is noncredit, open entry/open exit. The content will prepare students for the rigor the transfer math course by teaching learning skills necessary to succeed in college courses as well as review of relevant basic and secondary education prerequisite algebraic and geometric concepts, and more in-depth investigation of core concepts to their concurrent math course. The course design is to meet the needs of a variety of students, such as students who desire formal, regular ongoing learning supports, students wishing self- place into transfer-level mathematics courses as defined by AB 705, and students who are repeating the course for the second or third time. The support course includes a review of basic and secondary level math relevant to their college-level course, provides study strategies to promote understanding and improve performance, and more in-depth investigation of core concepts that are difficult for students to master and learning skills such as growth mindset, brain research, time management, study skills, test taking, math anxiety and more. Corequisite: MATH 30 or MATH 39 or MATH 34 or MATH 40 or MATH 47 or MATH 33 NMAT 207 PRE-ALGEBRA 0.0 Units This course is intended to serve as a bridge between arithmetic and Elementary Algebra. It includes a review of arithmetic, operations involving signed integers, fractions, and decimals, variables and proportion, introduction to statistics, geometry and measurement, and application problems. Students can petition to get credit for the credit Math 107 course by examination. NMAT 210 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA 0.0 Units Elementary algebra concepts, including: real numbers and their properties; algebraic expressions; integer exponents; operations with polynomial expressions; linear and quadratic equations; linear inequalities and set notation; graphs of linear equations and inequalities; slope; systems of linear equations and inequalities; and modeling with linear and quadratic equations. Students can petition to get credit for the Math 110 Elementary Algebra course by examination. Strongly Recommended: NMAT 207 or MATH 107 or MATH 107B with a minimum grade of C NMAT 250 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA FOR SLAM 0.0 Units This is an Intermediate Algebra course for students interested in fields of study that require Statistics or Liberal Arts Mathematics (SLAM). Intermediate algebra concepts will be explored in the context of the function. Function concepts covered include: distinction between functions and relations, domain and range, function notation, multiple representation of functions, behavior of functions, operations with functions (including composition), one-to-one functions, and invertible functions. Types of functions considered: polynomial, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions. The course includes an introduction to probability, counting and quantitative data. Standards for mathematical practice, applications of functions, and modeling with functions are emphasized throughout. Strongly Recommended: NMAT 210 or MATH 110 or MATH 110B with a minimum grade of C NMAT 255 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA FOR BSTEM 0.0 Units Intermediate Algebra concepts, in the service of Business, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields (BSTEM), will be explored in this course including: an introduction to functions; linear and absolute value functions; absolute value equations and inequalities; compound linear inequalities; rational expressions, functions and equations; radical expressions, functions and equations; rational exponents; complex numbers; quadratic functions and equations; inverse of a function; exponential and logarithmic functions; properties of logarithms; exponential and logarithmic equations; conic sections; and systems of equations and inequalities. Multiple representations, applications and
