This course is designed to be a logical foundation for both the classical instance of algebra in MATH 115 College Algebra and the alternative general education course, MATH 110 Reasoning and Problem Solving. Emphasis is on the logical and computational elements: operators, operands, expressions. Exercises address interpretation and use of math language and notation, algebra of sets, algebra of numbers, and processes utilized in solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities. Scientific calculators are permitted in this course, but graphing calculators are not. Prerequisite: Math ACT of 19 or higher, or Math SAT 510 or higher, or a grade of C- or higher in MATH-099. Fall/Spring.
