MAC 1147 PRE-CALCULUS ALGEBRA/TRIGONOMETRY 5 credits

Prerequisite: High school trigonometry and MAC 1105 or appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This is an accelerated course covering the topics of both MAC 1140 and MAC 1114 in a single session and is intended primarily for the student who plans to take MAC 2311-2313. Major topics in algebra include: polynomial, rational and other algebraic functions, their properties and graphs; polynomial and rational inequalities; exponential and logarithmic functions, their properties and graphs; piecewise-defined functions; conic sections; matrices and determinants; sequences and series; mathematical induction; binomial theorem and applications. The trigonometry has emphasis on circular functions. Major topics in trigonometry include: trigonometric functions, their properties and graphs; inverse trigonometric equations; solutions of triangles; vector algebra; parametric equations; polar coordinates; applications. (Credit is not given for both MAC 1147 and either MAC 1140 or MAC 1114.) 77 contact hours.
