Description for MATHSK98: A course for students who never studied algebra in high school, or who studied it long ago or ineffectively. Introduction to algebraic notation and concepts so that students will be successful in math, and in introductory physical and social science courses. Development of successful study and test-taking techniques. Algebraic expressions-simplification, combination, and evaluation; linear equations-solving, graphing, and using them to solve word problems; exponents; scientific notation; and proportions. Prerequisite: appropriate scores on the Math Placement Test. Academic Information: Credits: 3 Fee: Course Fee: $960 Lab Fee: $0 Total: $960
