MAT 101: College Algebra The course will familiarize students with basic math theory and basic equations with a
<br />particular emphasis on the components that make up business accounting formulas. This
<br />in-depth overview of algebra and its uses includes integers, equations, polynomials, the
<br />decimal system of numeration, four basic mathematical operations as they apply to whole
<br />numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals without the use of any calculating device,
<br />factoring, geometric figures, and measurements. In addition to the basic operations,
<br />logarithms, exponential equations, systems of linear and nonlinear equations, Cramer's
<br />Rule, the Binomial Theorem, the complex number system, and sequences and series are
<br />included. Emphasis is placed on applications to real world problems. Topics include:
<br />• Arithmetic and Pre -algebra Refresher
<br />• Properties of Exponents and Scientific Notation
<br />• Formulas, Applications and Problem Solving
<br />• Linear Equations and Inequalities
<br />• Arithmetic Operations with Polynomial and Rational Expressions and Factoring
<br />Polynomials
<br />• Radical Numbers, Radical Equations and Quadratic Equations
<br />Prerequisite: None
<br />50 Hours Lecture
<br />5.0 Quarter Credits
<br />PHS 101: Introduction to This program is designed for the student who is interested in a more conceptual and less
<br />Physical Science mathematical approach to physics. It is a survey course introducing the topics of mechanics,
<br />heat, sound, electricity & magnetism, light and modern physics. The emphasis will be on
<br />developing conceptual understanding of the laws of nature through lectures,
<br />demonstrations, and class discussions. Covered are the fundamental concepts of earth,
<br />space and environmental science (geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy)
<br />and principles of physics and chemistry especially as they relate to these fields. Emphasis is
<br />placed on the application of science in the understanding and solution of environmental
<br />problems. Upon successful completion of the course, student should be able to:
<br />• Apply the scientific method of inquiry, including analysis based on scientific
<br />concepts and observation.
<br />• Use and convert physical quantities and measurements in the SI (Systeme
<br />Internationale) and USCS (U. S. Customary System) unit systems.
<br />• Describe the history and origins of scientific concepts and principles.
<br />• Solve elementary problems involving motion, force, friction, gravitation, energy,
<br />heat, work, power, simple machines, vibrations, waves, sound, electricity,
<br />electromagnetism, mechanical and electromagnetic forces and torques, fluid
<br />statics, dynamics, buoyancy, mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid resistances,
<br />fluid potential and kinetic energy, power, and fluidal work
<br />• Illustrate basic scientific concepts in areas such as chemistry and select topics in
<br />earth science and astronomy.
<br />• Compute results using scalar variables and resolve vectors into components and
<br />combine vectors into resultants.
<br />• Describe the basic concepts of electromagnetic and radioactive radiation.
