Description: Learn the foundational concepts needed to prepare for further studies in mathematics and its applications. Topics covered will include: precise and correct usage of mathematical terminology, sets, functions and their inverses, rational functions, linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic equations, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, changing number bases, complex numbers, graphing, and solving word problems. The Maple computer algebra system will be employed as a tool for exploration.

Students will individualize their learning experience by selecting one of three possible tracks: preparation for Calculus, preparation for Discrete Mathematics, or preparation for mathematical aspects of studies in Business. Selected additional topics will be covered in accordance with the individual student's chosen track.

The primary audience for this study consists of beginning students who are planning further studies in Mathematics, related fields, IS/IT, or Business. This course will also be appropriate for students seeking general education credit in mathematics.
