Description

Objective:

The course objective is to develop mastery in math concepts and operations by means of guided, assessment-based study in the ALEKS system. Following initial assessment, students are given choice of topics for active study based on individual current readiness; as progress is made, selection of topics evolves according to developing readiness. Active mastery of new material is supported by interactive feedback, step-by-step explanations, and hyperlinked dictionary definitions. Periodic reassessments confirm mastery and ensure adequate ongoing review; student can also review spontaneously at any time. Real-time reporting of progress is visible to student.

Learning Outcomes:

  • solve linear equations and inequalities
  • factor and perform operations on polynomials
  • perform operations on rational expressions and solve rational equations
  • perform operations with positive and negative exponents
  • perform operations on radical expressions and solve radical equations
  • understand and graph functions, perform operations on graphs and functions
  • solve and graph quadratic equations
  • understand and apply unit circle and right angle trigonometry
  • graph trigonometric functions, find values of and perform operations on trigonometric functions and their inverse
  • understand and prove trigonometric identities, solve trigonometric equations
  • solve triangles, perform operations with vectors, polar coordinates, and complex numbers

General Topics:

  • Algebra and geometry review
  • Functions and graphs
  • Quadratic functions
  • Unit circle and right triangle trigonometry
  • Trigonometric graphs and inverse functions
