Student Manual for Algebra for College Students by Daniel L. Auvil Course description:
This course covers solving quadratic equations and inequalities and their
applications, exponential and logarithmic functions and their properties, conic
sections including circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas, sequences and
series, and solving 3X3 systems of linear equations and non-linear systems of
equations. Prerequisite:
A grade of C or better in Math 152B, or achieving a satisfactory score on
the Math assessment test. Grading Policy:
Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of possible points. A:
90% and above, B: 80-89%, C:
70-79%, D:
60-69%,
