<< return to undergraduate courses >>

***This is a course guideline. Students should contact instructor for the updated information on current course syllabus, textbooks, and course content***

Course Description: A one-credit, online course to be taken simultaneously with a CORE math course (1310 or 1311). A student who has passed the TSI assessment for math but has NOT passed the math placement exam for a core course may enroll in Math 1100 along with that course.  Enrollment is via the student’s advisor, so enrollment is not open to students to choose this course on their own.  Once enrolled, students will be allowed to choose a section that supports 1310 or one that supports 1311.

Topics: include signed numbers, operations with algebraic expressions, first degree equations and inequalities in one variable, factoring, the Cartesian coordinate system, systems of first degree equations in two variables solved by graphical and algebraic means, exponents and radicals, an introduction to quadratic equations, and stated problems. This course may not be used to satisfy any degree requirements.  This course may be used for TSI remediation. 

Grading:

Please consult your instructor's syllabus regarding any and all grading guidelines.
