222 Mathematics 102C, D, E, F; MATH 130C, D, E, F; MATH 135C, D, E; and MATH 140C, D, E, F, G, and can enroll in only one unit at a time. Upon satisfactory completion of that unit with a grade of C or better, students may proceed to the next unit. At least one unit must be completed each semester. The instructor will explain the unit system and assist students with selection of the appropriate unit course at the first class meeting. The instructor will also give initial orientation explaining testing, review tests to help students define what skills have been mastered, and refer student to readily available support services. Instructor does not lecture nor does hee/she structure the pace of materials or determine when a student needs to proceed other than by setting five deadlines for completion of one unit. Regular attendance is expected. See specific math course for degree applicability and transferability. MATH 100 *ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA 4 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 050, or Eligibility for MATH 100 and READ 099. This course is for the student who has not had previous training in algebra. Topics include operations with signed numbers, variables, algebraic expressions, linear equations, word problems, exponents, polynomials, special products and factoring, fractions, graphing, systems of equations, radicals, and solving quadratic equations. (AVC) MATH 100L ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA LAB 0 units Corequisite: Current enrollment in MATH 100. This optional, zero-unit course is intended to help students succeed in MATH 100. It provides access to the computer software used in the MATH 100 classes with an instructor present. This will help students complete course assignments, hands -on with practical math problems, and master learning objectives. (AVC) MATH 100A *ELEMENTARY WITH SAS 2 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 050, or Eligibility for MATH 100 and READ 099. This course is for students who have not had algebra or have been unsuccessful in algebra. This course can benefit students with math anxiety, students who wish to learn at a slower pace, and students with identified learning disabilities. Topics include operations with signed numbers, variables, algebraic expressions, linear equations, word problems, graphing, and systems of equations. Included is the use of math software and videotapes as well as collaborative learning in a small assembly setting. This course, together with MATH 100B, is equivalent to MATH 100. Credit is allowed in either MATH 100 or the MATH 100A-MATH 100B combination. Concurrent enrollment in MATH 100 and MATH 100A is not permitted. (AVC) ALGEBRA-FIRST HALF MATH 100B *ELEMENTARY WITH SAS 2 units 4 hours weekly Course Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 100A or two equivalent units of MATH 100 through MATH 099. Advisory: Eligibility for READ 099. This course can benefit students with math anxiety, students who wish to learn at a slower pace, and students with identified learning disabilities. Topics covered are fractions, exponents, polynomials, special products, factoring, radicals, solving quadratic equations and word problems. Students should already know operations with signed numbers, variables, algebraic expressions, linear equations, word prob- lems, graphing and systems of equations. Included is the use of math software and videotapes as well as collaborative learning in a small assembly setting. This course, together with MATH 100A, is equivalent to MATH 100. Credit is allowed in either MATH 100 or the MATH 100A-100B combination. Concurrent ALGEBRA-SECOND HALF enrollment in MATH 100 and MATH 100A or 100B is not permitted. (AVC) MATH 101 *PLANE GEOMETRY 4 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 100, or Eligibility for MATH 101 and READ 099. This course covers plane Euclidean geometry and the development of logical thinking and visualization skills. Includes study of geometric concepts and proofs, with emphasis given to those topics that are essential to further studies in mathematics. (AVC) MATH 102 *INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA 4 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 100, or Eligibility for MATH 102 and Eligibility for College Level Reading or satisfactory completion of ENGL 101. This course is for the student who has had one year of high school algebra or one semester of elementary algebra at the college level. Topics include: algebraic functions, graphing, linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, systems of equations, rational exponents, logarithms, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions, conic sections, sequences and series, and binomial expansion. (AVC) MATH 102A FIRST HALF WITH SAS 2 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 100, or MATH 100A and 100B, or Eligibility for MATH 102 and Eligibility for College Level Reading or satisfactory completion of ENGL 101. This course is for the student who has successfully completed a course covering the topics in elementary algebra. It can benefit students with math anxiety, students who wish to learn at a slower pace, and students with identified learning disabilities. Topics include: linear *INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA-
