MAC1105 - MDC

IMPORTANT COMPETENCIES FOR FINAL EXAM:

	distance formula
	midpoint of a segment
	is this a function? (graphical, numerical, algebraic)
	linear equations, best-fit, predictions
	absolute value functions
	inverse functions
	domain and range
	quadratic functions, best-fit, , predictions, vertex, optimum, zero
	exponential function, growth and decay, investment
	logarithm functions, best-fit, predictions
	rules of exponents, rules of logarithm
	polynomial functions, best-fit, predictions
	power functions
	rational functions
	shift of functions

Task: Educate students for the future rather than train them for the past. The primary goal is to empower students to become exploratory learners, not to master a list of algebraic rules...

Please select (on the left) traditional college algebra or contemporary college algebra

ATTENTION ALL COLLEGE ALGEBRA STUDENTS!

MAC1105L is being offered in the SPRING 2007 Term

Starting January 8, 2007 on:

Monday 1:25-3:05 PM Room 2215 ref# 408190

or Monday 5:40-7:20 PM Room TBA ref# 408191

Instructor: Prof. Bernard Mathon

The activities in this lab class will not only help you understand the material of College Algebra, but will also provide you with a wonderful enrichment experience.

In this lab, you will:

• Familiarize yourself with the use of a graphing calculator;

• Use a graphing calculator to explore the graphs of various functions studied in the College Algebra lectures;

• Work collaboratively with classmates on small group projects or experiments that will lead to a deeper understanding of the concepts and ideas studied in the College Algebra lecture.

Education Majors:

Please note that the recommended mathematics courses are: MAC1105 + MAC1105L, MTG2204 + MTG2204L, MGF1120.

These courses combine for a total of the nine credits of math that will provide a good foundation for future educators.
