Course Description

MA 107 is a one-semester course aimed at preparing students for further study of Calculus. Students will learn algebra and basic trigonometry. Specific topics include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and their graphs. More information can be found in the course syllabus.

MA 107 uses WebAssign for most graded homework. Additional exercises from the reading are also referenced, and should be studied. Successful completion of both homework sets is recommended before sitting the exams.
