Elementary Functions 4 s.h.
This course includes in one semester the essentials of analytic geometry, high school algebra, and trigonometry needed for calculus. It is roughly equivalent to MATH:1005 and MATH:1010 compressed into one semester. Emphasis is on the role of functions and analytic geometry. Topics include functions, coordinate systems; properties and graphs of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential functions; inverse trigonometric functions; and properties of lines, circles, and other conics. This course is not intended for those learning graphing, logarithms, exponentials, or trigonometry for the first time. Such students should take the appropriate lower-level course or courses such as MATH:1005 or MATH:1010. Students are encouraged to use the Math Tutorial Laboratory. The course is taught in individual sections by TAs.
