MATH 1015 - Applied Mathematics

Credits: 5
Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None
Course Description: This course integrates algebraic, geometric and trigonometric topics and their technical application. These topics include scientific and engineering notation, precision and accuracy, linear and non-linear equations, systems of equations, functions, plane figure and solid figure geometry, trigonometric functions, right triangle trigonometry, vectors, exponential and logarithmic functions, and statistics. The primary purpose is to help prepare students for technical and scientific careers. A graphing calculator is required. Instruction will be provided in the use of the TI-83/TI-84 calculator. Offered S.
