UNIV 113-3 (University Mathematics Preparation)

This course combines foundational mathematical skills and mathematics-related study skills in preparation for both the content and study skill competencies needed in future mathematics courses. Mathematical topics include real numbers, the language of algebra, solving linear equations and inequalities, expanding and factoring both polynomials and rational expressions, basic graphing, roots and radicals, quadratic equations, and functions. Interwoven with the mathematics are an assessment of current study skills and techniques for improving aspects of studying like anxiety management, the shift to learning at a postsecondary level from a high-school level, how to access support resources on campus and off, and time management as well as effective techniques for structuring study activities, goal setting, and how to use learning objectives to effectively guide study time.
