MA 120 - Foundations for Calculus

4.00 credits.

Foundations for Calculus includes the study of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, along with conic sections, coordinate geometry and sigma notation, emphasizing associated skills and properties. Understanding functions and graphs without, and also with, the use of technology will be emphasized. Students without a recent math course and/or those with little or no background in trigonometry will benefit from this course. Successful completion of MA120 prepares students for MA121.
