• DC ALGEBRA FOR CALCULUS - SEMESTER ONLY (Crowder Math 135)

    This course covers the same material as the yearlong Algebra for Calculus course, only at a faster pace. 

    This course studies the foundations of functions, analysis of functions, algebraic reasoning, and conic sections.  This course is designed for students who intend to pursue a degree in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics as well as other fields that require a high level of algebraic reasoning.  This course is intended to prepare students for higher level mathematics courses, but will satisfy most degree requirements in Mathematics and should transfer to any four-year institution. This class may be taken for high school credit only, or students who meet the course prerequisites for college credit may receive high school and college credit. (One-credit, one-year elective for grades 11-12)
