MATH EMPORIUM The Math Emporium is a mode in which students have the ability to complete their foundational math courses, associate level math courses, and Technical Math sequence in a personalized mode. This mode allows students to self-accelerate through the material in a way that is unique to each student’s needs. Students will learn study skills and tips along with the math while working on their lab assignments. Students will decide when they are ready to take a test and take the length of time they need when testing (within the hours of operation). Students registering for a Math Emporium course are required to purchase and use the internet based software MyMathLab, which contains an online version of the textbook. MATH 30 COLLEGE ALGEBRA FOR STEM 4.0 Units College algebra core concepts relating to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Business fields are explored, such as: polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, absolute value, and logarithmic functions; systems of equations; theory of polynomial equations; and analytic geometry. Multiple representations, applications and modeling with functions are emphasized throughout. May not receive credit if Mathematics 20 or 45 have been completed.
