MATH 091 - Basic Algebra

Description:MATH 091 is a concentrated study of the topics in Beginning Algebra. The topics include the real number system, first degree equations, signed numbers, integer exponents, elementary graphing, products and quotients of algebraic expressions, systems of linear equations in two variables, radicals and quadratic equations, scientific notation, ratio problems, percent, and variation. A thorough discussion is presented on applied (word) problems with strong emphasis on identifying word problems by type and learning the procedures for each type. Algebraic methods are used in geometry problems, concentrating on finding the areas and perimeters of two-dimensional geometric figures.
