Description

Intended for students who plan to go on to calculus. MATH 119 is to be used, when necessary, as preparation for MATH 120 or MATH 124 and does not satisfy any requirement of either the major or the minor in mathematics or computer science. Students should have a solid grasp of elementary algebra. Covers more advanced algebraic techniques (linear and nonlinear inequalities, quadratic equations, linear systems) and gives a rigorous look at elementary functions (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric).
