Current Course Description: Polynomial equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, inverse functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions. Prerequisite: MTH 095 with grade of C- or better, or satisfactory score on WOU¿s math placement test |
|
New Course Description: Study of linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and power families of functions; representation of these functions symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally; develop regression and modeling for these function families; use of inverse functions symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally; and a rudimentary study of complex numbers. Prerequisite: MTH 095 with grade of C- or better, or satisfactory score on WOU¿s math placement test |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): As coordinator for some of the lower level classes in the Mathematics Department, the Course Catalog descriptions did not appear to match what is actually taught in the course. The new proposed description accurately matches what is taught in the course. |
|
Students/Program affected: Anyone who takes MTH 111; Most important for determining transfer of credits and equivalent prerequisites from other institutions. |
