SINCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE DAYTON, OHIO DEPARTMENT SYLLABUS FOR COURSE IN MAT 470 - COLLEGE ALGEBRA (4 SEMESTER HOURS). COURSE DESCRIPTION: Polynomil, rdicl, rtionl, exponentil, nd logrithmic functions nd their grphs; roots of polynomil functions, rtionl nd polynomil inequlities; conic sections; systems of liner nd nonliner equtions; mtrices; sequences nd series; nd pplictions.. COURSE OBJECTIVES: To develop in the student the theories, skills, nd techniques tht form the foundtion for lger, to provide the student opportunities to pply their knowledge of lger in vriety of contexts, to uild within the student the mthemticl sophistiction necessry for the study of clculus nd other courses/disciplines tht require the use of lger. 3. PREREQUISITE: Stisfctory score on Mthemtics Plcement Test or grde of "C" or etter in either MAT 370 or MAT 365. 4. ASSESSMENT: In ddition to required exms s specified on the syllus, instructors re encourged to include other components in computing finl course grdes such s homework, quizzes, nd/or specil projects. However, 80% of the student s course grde must e sed on in-clss proctored exms. 5. TEXT: College Alger nd Trigonometry, Third Edition Rtti/McWters Person Adopted: Fll 05 MyMthL is required component of this course. It will give students ccess to the online version of the textook, s well s set of homework ssignments nd quizzes. 6. CALCULATOR POLICY: A scientific clcultor is required.
