MATH& 141 - Precalculus I

5 CR

Emphasizes graphs and polynomial functions. Other topics include the theory of equations and rational, exponential, inverse, and logarithmic functions.

MATH& 141 can also be taken concurrently with MATH 99. In this case, the class schedule will direct you to add certain sections of MATH& 141 and MATH 99 to your cart to enroll.  Prerequisite for the sections that allow concurrent enrollment with MATH 99 is MATH 98 with a C or better or placement by assessment into MATH 99. MATH 138  and MATH& 141 have overlapping content and students are not recommended to take both. Note: Fulfills the quantitative or symbolic reasoning course requirement at BC.

Prerequisite(s): Placement by assessment or MATH 99 with a B- or better.
