Proposed

Prerequisite(s) MATH 1320

Catalog Description

Definitions of trigonometric functions, solving trigonometric equations, functions, limits and derivatives, exponential and logarithmic functions, and applications. Course is not applicable toward the undergraduate Mathematics major requirements. Prerequisite: Satisfactory test score or satisfactory ACT score or MATH 1320. Math core course.

Reason for change: Data indicates that current prerequisite MATH 0980 is not a good indication of student success. This reason and the level of the material suggest that MATH 1320 is a more appropriate prerequisite. Effective: Fall 2003
