Course Description

MA 111 is a one-semester course aimed at preparing students for further study of Calculus. Students will study real numbers, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trig functions and graphs, and analytic geometry in order to prepare for Calculus I.

More information can be found in the course syllabus.

MA 111 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.
