MATH 108 - Elementary Functions

4 credits (4 lecture)
This course is a bridge between Intermediate Algebra (high school; algebra II) and Calculus. Topics covered are functions and graphs, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, the definition of trigonometric functions and the application to right triangles, radian measure, graphs of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, law of sines, law of cosines, vectors, complex numbers, quadratic equations and their graphs, and topics in analytic geometry. The course is appropriate for any student who will complete the series of Calculus courses.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 100, permission of Dean for Natural Science of Technology is required.
