Credits: 4

A one-semester course designed to develop students’ mathematical problem-solving skills and prepare students for courses in applied calculus with applications in business, health science and social sciences. Emphasis is on the creation and use of functions and graphs to explain the relationship between quantities in applied problems. Types of functions investigated include linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Graphing calculator is required; we recommend TI-84+. This course does not satisfy the prerequisite for MTH1217.
