MAC 1147 - Precalculus Algebra/Trigonometry


5 hours Lecture, 5 credits
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisite(s): A grade of B or better in MAC 1105, or appropriate placement examination score.
AA Elective: Yes
This course satisfies the dual requirements of Precalculus Algebra (MAC 1140) and Trigonometry (MAC 1114), and thus prepares the student for Calculus I (MAC 2311). Precalculus topics include the study of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and piecewise-defined functions; systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; mathematical induction; conic sections; and sequences and series. Trigonometry topics include the study of the trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions and their graphs, as well as identities, applications of trigonometry, vectors, complex numbers, polar graphs, and solutions of triangles and parametric equations. This course requires that students devote time to an intensive study of these topics. A graphing calculator (e.g., TI-83, TI-84, or an equivalent) is highly recommended.
