General Math
Prerequisites: None
Level: Freshman
Credit: 1
Description: The course covers the four basic operations of math: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, in dealing with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers. Other topics to be covered are ratios, percents, statistics, probability, and an introduction to geometry.
Pre- Algebra
Prerequisites: High school general math or teacher recommendation
Level: Freshman, Sophomore
Credit: 1
Description: This course covers data and patterns in algebra, patterns with integers, rational numbers and probability, geometry connections and applications, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers and expressions, solving equations and inequalities, linear functions and solving systems of equations and inequalities.
Algebra I
Prerequisites: High school pre-algebra or teacher recommendation
Level: Freshman, Sophomore
Credit: 1
Description: This course uses an abundance of applications to model real life and to develop critical thinking. Also covered are the development of the real number system and its properties, which are applied in the solving of linear, quadratic, exponential and rational equations and inequalities, as well as functions. Graphing these equations, inequalities and functions will be emphasized. Students will solve systems of equations and simplify rational expressions. The course also includes factoring and performing operations with polynomials.
Geometry
Prerequisites: Algebra I or teacher's recommendation
Level: Sophomore or above
Credit: 1
Description: This course is the study of the definitions, postulates, and theorems of geometry. The application of these in the proof of congruent and similar polygons will be covered. Other topics will include trigonometry, circles, area, and volume.
Technical Math
Prerequisites: Geometry or teacher's recommendation
Level: Junior, Senior
Credit: 1
Description: This course covers the fundamentals of basic arithmetic, calculator usage, algebra, geometry and right angle trigonometry. An in-depth study of algebra includes factoring, solving linear systems, quadratic equations and exponents. Students can earn dual credit at Lake Land College for this class. This class, however, may not meet the entrance requirements for all four-year universities.
Algebra II
Prerequisites: Geometry or instructor's consent
Credit: 1
Description: A course which is an extension of the math concepts of Algebra I. Topics to be covered include equalities and inequalities, linear and quadratic functions, polynomials and factoring, rational, irrational and complex expressions. Most college bound students should consider the course to be required.
Pre-Calculus
Prerequisites: Algebra II or instructor's consent
Level: Senior
Credit: 1
Description: A full year course which is an extension of the mathematical concepts of algebra and geometry. Included in the course are topics of trigonometry and analytical geometry which should prepare the student for entry into a college calculus course.
Calculus
Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus or instructor's consent
Level: Senior
Credit: 1
Description: A full year course which covers those topics normally introduced in a first year college calculus course. Topics included are derivatives, integrals, and many applications of both derivatives and integrals.
