MATH 106 - Mathematical Concepts

Credits: 3
This course surveys several basic concepts of mathematics designed to give nonscientific/nontechnical majors an understanding of the breadth of mathematics in areas other than computational application. Topics include: problem solving, the real number system, linear and quadratic equations, exponents and logarithms, graphs and functions, and graph theory. RECOMMENDATION:SCCC has embraced a practice of directed selfchoice whereby students are encouraged, through guided conversations with an advisor, to best determine their readiness for this course. Students should be aware that developmental courses exist and are available to help strengthen skills and encourage success. Pursuing testing and/or developmental courses are entirely up to the student. Further, testing, though providing a valuable reference point for reflection, does not create for the student an obligation to follow Accuplacer recommendations.

Prerequisite: Proficiency on the College Placement Examination or Grade of C or Better in MATH 017/MATH 023
