Science, Technology, Engineering, Math Majors are recommended to take one of the following math courses:

MATH 96X

Math 96X is intended for students who need more support than is offered by a traditional Math 96 course. The same material is covered but no prior knowledge is assumed.

The course covers systems of equations and inequalities, radical and quadratic equations, quadratic functions and their graphs, complex numbers, nonlinear inequalities, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, sequences and series, and solid geometry. The course also includes application problems involving these topics.
