M305G ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS AND COORDINATE GEOMETRY
Prerequisite and degree relevance:
This course assumes a knowledge of three and one-half units of high school
mathematics at the level of Algebra I or higher. M305G may NOT be earned
after a student receives credit for any calculus course (408C, 308K, M403K,
or the equivalent) with a grade of at least C.
Prerequisite is either a score of 480 /460 or above on the Math Level I
or IC Test, or at least a C in M301.
Course Description:
M305G is intended as an introduction to the functions that are studied in
more detail in the calculus sequence. The course covers sets, algebra of
functions, inverse functions, logarithms, exponential functions, trigonometric
functions, inverse trigonometric functions, polynomials, and the range,
domain and graphs of these functions. Students with four years of high school
math who require calculus in their degree plans should seek careful advice
before taking this course. It may turn out to be a review and not necessary
for these students. Only one of the following may be counted toward the
major requirement for the Bachelor of Arts, Plan I, degree with a major
in mathematics or toward the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree:
Mathematics 304E, 305E, 305G.
