MAT 097 - Algebra and Introduction to Functions

A transitional course in mathematics designed to provide the student with a solid algebraic background for further studies in mathematics or the sciences. In addition to improving algebraic fluency by simplifying expressions and solving equations, this course provides an introduction to the concept of a function. The family of linear functions is introduced, with an emphasis on modeling with realistic applications. This course carries imputed (financial aid) credit. It does not fulfill FLCC's Mathematics or general elective requirements. Prerequisite: Placement into Math Level 0 or 1.
