Precalculus

This course integrates material from pre-calculus with introductory topics from applied calculus, including a detailed study of functions, limits and continuity, the circle, tangent lines, rates of change, differentiation of algebraic functions, matrices, and systems of linear equations. Applications from economics and finance will be included and the use of the TI 89/92 calculator as well as Excel will be required. Students may receive credit for MTH 2009 or MTH 2003, not both. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-grade replacement policy. This course is also not open to students who completed MTH 2000, 2001, 2010, 2030, 2205, 2206, 2207, 2610, or 2630 or any mathematics course at the 3000-level or above.NOTE: The policy on repeating courses covers any combination of MTH 2009 and MTH 2003, e.g., one course taken three times, or a one-and-two combination. All combinations will be treated identically as three attempts.
