To meet the prerequisite for MTH 140, a student can choose one of the following tracks: a combination of MTH 130 and MTH 131 or MTH 138 (with appropriate prerequisite). The combination of MTH 130 and MTH 131 are equivalent coursework to MTH 138. This course prepares students for calculus by integrating both college-level algebra and trigonometry. Topics include solving equations, systems of equations, and inequalities; properties of functions; polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and their graphs; analytic trigonometry; and vectors. This course is designed for students with a prior background in algebra and trigonometry. Prerequisite(s): Grade of “B” or better in MTH 110  or satisfactory score on the ACT.
