Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate properties of matrices.
• Recognize patterns in sequences and series (arithmetic and geometric) to determine terms and find sums, using sigma notation as appropriate.
• Prove statements using mathematical induction.
• Expand powers of binomials using the Binomial Theorem.
• Analyze a variety of applied problems (including variation problems) and work with the resulting equation or function to respond to the problem, using complete sentence responses.
• Math students feel they have the resources necessary for their success.
• Simplify expressions, including polynomial, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic.
• Students will feel that mathematics is a beneficial part of their education
• Solve systems of equations (linear and non-linear) by methods of substitution, elimination, graphing and matrices.
• Graph functions and relations, including polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions (using transformations when appropriate).
• Perform operations with functions including composition and determine the domain, range and inverse of a function.
• Solve equations and inequalities, including linear, higher-order polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic and literal.
