Math courses offered
MTH 050 Basic Mathematics - This course covers topics including whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and percents. It is designed for the student who needs review on these topics.MTH 101 Pre Algebra - This is a review of the basic operations of arithmetic on whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Algebraic concepts are integrated within the topics, enhancing the transition from arithmetic to algebra. The basic concepts of algebra are introduced, such as signed numbers, expressions and equations. Topics from geometry include formulas for area and perimeter, properties of lines and angles, and applications of problems involving geometry. Students will be introduced to statistics by pictographs, bar, line, pie charts and tables, mean, median and mode.
MTH 102 Elementary Algebra - This course is an introduction to basic algebra. Topics include a review of arithmetic operations, literal numbers, algebraic expressions, operations with polynomials, special products and factoring, exponents, linear equations, inequalities and an introduction to quadratic equations. The course is intended for students enrolled in occupational programs as well as for students who have not had high school algebra. Prerequisite: MTH 101 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 5 credits = 5 lecture MA CT.
MTH 103 Geometry - Topics considered are logic, deductive reasoning and basic concepts of geometry, including angles, lines, triangles, parallel lines, polygons, and circles. Prerequisite: MTH 102 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 3 credits = 3 lecture MA CT.
MTH 104 Foundations of Math - This course will allow students to discover some of the mathematics that they use on a daily basis. They will consider some of the greatest ideas that were founded by mathematicians. Students will be actively involved in investigations of mathematics to help them attain a better understanding of mathematical ideas, build sharper skills for analyzing life issues that stem from mathematics and develop a new perspective and outlook at the way they view the world involving mathematics. Prerequisite: MTH 102 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 3 credits = 3 lecture MA CT.
MTH 105 Foundations of Math I for Elementary Education - This course covers concepts and structures of mathematics including sets, logic, numeration systems, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and real numbers. The course is designed for prospective elementary teachers. Prerequisite: MTH 102 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 3 credits = 3 lecture MA CT.
MTH 106 Foundations of Math II for Elementary Education - Topics included in this course are concepts from algebra and geometry that are applicable in elementary school mathemat ics.

MTH 110 Intermediate Algebra - This course consists of a review of elementary algebraic operations, polynomials, factoring, linear and quadratic equations, exponents, radicals, fractions, fractional equations, functions and graphs, systems of equations and logarithms. Students may receive credit for MTH 110 and MTH 111 or MTH 112. Prerequisite: MTH 102 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 4 credits = 4 lecture MA CT.
MTH 111 Plane Trigonometry - The content of this course will be a review of selected topics from plane geometry, radian and degree measures, definitions and properties of trigonometric functions, identities, trigonometric equations, graphs, identities involving composite angles, laws of sines and cosines, and the solution of triangles. Students may receive credit for MTH 110 and MTH 111 or MTH 112. For those students who intend to take calculus, this course should be taken prior to or concurrently with MTH 113. Prerequisite: MTH 110, or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 2 credits = 2 lecture MA CT.
MTH 112 Intermediate Algebra and Plane Trigonometry - This is an integrated algebra-trigonometry course covering the topics of MTH 110 and MTH 111 but at a slightly accelerated pace. It is intended for those students who want to satisfy the prerequisites for MTH 113 in one semester. A maximum of six credits will be allowed for any combination of MTH 110 and MTH 111 or MTH 112. Prerequisite: MTH 102, or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score 5 credits = 5 lecture MA CT.
MTH 113 Pre Calculus MathematicsThis course includes set concepts, real and complex number systems, regression, function concepts, graphical representations, polynomial functions and theory of equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and their applications, systems of equations, matrices and determinants. Prerequisite: MTH 110 and MTH 111 or MTH 112, or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score
4 credits = 4 lecture MA CT
MTH113H Honors Precalculus Mathematics - No description available
MTH 114 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I - Topics included in this course will include limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic and trigonometric functions, and applications of the derivative. Prerequisite: MTH 113 or appropriate placement by our college assessment or ACT score. 4 credits = 4 lecture MA CT
