For two hours each week, individually and in small groups, students work with a mathematics specialist on assignments in MAT 10743 Foundations of Mathematics. The hands-on approach of a lab course is designed for close assessment and tangible improvement of mathematics skills and habits. Students taking this course should be enrolled in its corequisite, MAT 10743 Foundations of Mathematics; as a supplementary lab for MAT 10743, this course does not count toward graduation. 

Emphasizes algebraic skill development such as linear and quadratic equations, rational exponents, radicals and systems of equations. Designed to prepare students for college level mathematics.

Topics covered include number theory, geometries, introductory calculus, and introductory probability and statistics. Emphasis on developing student's skills with comprehending, gaining familiarity and working with mathematical concepts.

Emphasizes problem solving techniques using algebraic concepts. The focus of the course is directed toward exploring how algebra is used in the social and physical sciences. Topics covered include fundamental concepts of algebra, equations, and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, exponential and logarithmic equations, composition and inverse functions. Prerequisite: Score of 16 on non-math track initial placement or MAT 10443 Intermediate Algebra (or equivalent).

Offers a broad survey of mathematical topics stressing mathematical principle over an in-depth analysis. Topics covered include an introduction to problem solving and critical thinking, set theory, logic, consumer mathematics, counting methods and the fundamentals of probability, voting and apportionment, and an introduction to graph theory. Prerequisite: Score of 16 on non-math track initial placement or MAT 10043 Intermediate Algebra (or equivalent).

Offers an intuitive approach to the algebraic and trigonometric concepts used in calculus. Topics covered include functions and their graphs, zeros of polynomials, solving exponential and logarithm equations, analytic trigonometry, and trigonometric application. Prerequisite: MAT 10443 Intermediate College Algebra or score of 7 on math placement exam math track.
