Math 141: Precalculus I
- Common Course Number
- Prior to Summer 2009, this course was known as Math 131; only the course number has changed.
- Course Description
- Math 141 is the first course in a two-quarter precalculus sequence that also includes Math 142. Math 141 focuses on the general nature of functions. Topics include: linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; and applications.
- Who should take this course?
- Generally, students seeking to take the 151–152–153 calculus sequence take the 141–142 precalculus sequence first. Some students in programs like business take this course (in place of Math 140) and then take Math 148 instead of Math 142. You should consult the planning sheet for your program and consult an advisor to determine if this sequence is appropriate for you.
- Who is eligible to take this course?
- The prerequisite for this course is Math 90 with a grade of 2.0 or higher. Students new to EdCC with an appropriately high Accuplacer score may also consider taking Math 141.
- Is this course transferable?
- This course transfers to the University of Washington as UW Math 120 if both Math 141 and Math 142 are taken; consult an advisor or see the Transfer Center to determine transferability to other institutions.
- What textbook is used for this course?
- The first edition of Precalculus Concepts and Functions: A Unit Circle Approach by Michael Sullivan and Michael Sullivan III; a lower-priced custom version comprising Chapters 1–7 and 9 is available through the EdCC Bookstore; the same textbook is used for Math 142.
- What else is required for this course?
- Students are required to have a graphing calculator; the TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus is recommended.
- When is this course offered?
- Math 141 is offered each quarter, including Summer Quarter.
