Math 101 - College Algebra
A study of algebra, including exponents, polynomials, factoring, radicals, complex numbers, equations and inequalities, functions and their graphs, function inverses, zeros of polynomials, systems of equations, and matrices.

Math 116 - Precalculus
Review of the fundamentals of algebra and the concept of function. Intensive study of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric function, and applications.

Math 200 - Elementary Statistics
Topics include descriptive statistics, probability, distributions, random variables, sampling distributions, estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, linear regression, and correlation.

Math 201 and 202 - Calculus
