FUNCTIONS, MODELING, PRECALC in Fall 2023 (MA1025)

Home>Academic Catalog 2023-2024>Course Catalog>

Functions Modeling Change provides the algebraic and geometric skills needed to succeed in a Calculus course. The central topic is functions (in particular linear, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic), function notation and graphs, transformations, composition and inverses. Students also work with computers building mathematical models based on these functions, and implemented using graphing calculators, mathematical software and Excel.
