This is a foundation-level course designed to increase confidence and ability in mathematical skills, particularly in the areas of elementary algebra, trigonometry, and linear algebra. There is also a focus on formulating problems in mathematical language, and communicating appropriately in mathematics.
This course may be the first experience of serious mathematics. At this level, mathematics often requires persistence and approaching problems from different perspectives. Mathematics problems can sometimes be like puzzles — frustrating, but very satisfying once solved. This course will guide you through every step of the way.
