MATH 99 - Intermediate Algebra

5 CR

Expands algebra skills through an axiomatic approach. Students work with mathematical systems, solution of equations, inequalities, functions, exponents and logarithms, and coordinate systems. This course is similar to second-year high-school algebra.

MATH 99 can also be taken concurrently with MATH 138 or MATH& 141. In this case, the class schedule will direct you to add certain sections of MATH 99 and higher-level math to your cart to enroll.  

Prerequisite(s): Placement by assessment, or MATH 98 with a C or better.
