MAT 133 - College Algebra for Business
This course provides the Business, or other non-STEM student, with basic algebraic concepts necessary to continue in non-STEM related mathematics courses. Topics include algebraic operations on expressions involving polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions; graphing linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions by hand; using technology for transformations of above functions; using technology for linear, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic regression; theory and applications of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions; solving polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic equations. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of the course; their use throughout the course will facilitate understanding of salient concepts.
This course may not be used as a substitute for MAT 136 or any major requiring MAT 136 as a prerequisite. This course requires MAT 096 Elementary Algebra and Trigonometry, or equivalent background knowledge.
