Description

Objective:

The course objective is to review selected topics within the subject areas of basic math, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The student will learn how to manipulate between the various number systems and calculate logarithms, decibels, and power ratios.

Learning Outcomes:

  • translate between scientific notation and decimal numbers
  • practice basic math operations on two numbers given in scientific notation
  • convert a given physical quantity from the unit in which it was expressed to any other unit (such as meter to feet)
  • draw a graph given points, a set of experimental data, or a simple algebraic equation
  • manipulate algebraic expressions and solve linear equations with one and two unknowns
  • use the Pythagorean Theorem and definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent to calculate triangle sides and angles
  • define the two components of a vector as well as its magnitude and direction, and find the sum or difference of two vectors
  • perform base ten exponential and logarithmic computations
  • differentiate between the two forms of power ratios, dB and numerical, and how to convert between them, and calculate system gain in both forms
  • convert between the octal, hexadecimal, and binary number systems, and perform simple arithmetic operations within each system
  • perform basic math operations with signed numbers, positive and negative integer powers
