<br />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.
<br />This in-depth overview of algebra and its uses includes integers, equations,
<br />polynomials, the decimal system of numeration, four basic mathematical operations
<br />as they apply to whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals without the
<br />use of any calculating device, factoring, geometric figures, and measurements. In
<br />addition to the basic operations, logarithms, exponential equations, systems of linear
<br />and nonlinear equations, Cramer's Rule, the Binomial Theorem, the complex number
<br />system, and sequences and series are included. Emphasis is placed on applications to
<br />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
<br />Factoring 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
<br />Physical Science less mathematical approach to physics. It is a survey course introducing the topics of
<br />mechanics, heat, sound, electricity & magnetism, light and modern physics. The
<br />emphasis will be on developing conceptual understanding of the laws of nature
<br />through lectures, demonstrations, and class discussions. Covered are the fundamental
<br />concepts of earth, space and environmental science (geology, oceanography,
<br />meteorology, and astronomy) and principles of physics and chemistry especially as
<br />they relate to these fields. Emphasis is placed on the application of science in the
<br />understanding and solution of environmental problems. Upon successful completion
<br />of the course, students 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,
<br />energy, heat, work, power, simple machines, vibrations, waves, sound,
<br />electricity, electromagnetism, mechanical and electromagnetic forces and
<br />torques, fluid statics, dynamics, buoyancy, mechanical, electrical, thermal,
<br />fluid resistances, fluid potential and kinetic energy, power, and fluidal work
<br />• Illustrate basic scientific concepts in areas such as chemistry and select topics
<br />in earth science and astronomy.
<br />• Compute results using scalar variables and resolve vectors into components
<br />and combine vectors into resultants.
<br />• Describe the basic concepts of electromagnetic and radioactive radiation.
