An introduction to the basic techniques and functions of mathematics. This course is especially recommended for those students who need to "brush up" due to a shaky high school preparation or for those who haven’t had a mathematics course in several years. Topics include linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, polynomials, and rational functions and their inverses, including the exponential and the logarithm. Note: Not open to students who have passed MATH 150 or above. Not transferable to other Maryland public institutions for college level credit. For more information contact olenshe1@math.umbc.edu.
