MATH 1119 - College Algebra II
4 Credits
Prepares students for Calculus I (MATH 1133 ) when taken in sequence with College Algebra I (MATH 1118 ). Topics include trigonometric functions and their graphs, trigonometric identities and applications, law of sines and cosines, solving trigonometric and parametric equations, conic sections, polar coordinates and graphing functions in polar form, vectors and the complex plane. Use of technology will be embedded throughout the course.
Pre-Requisites MATH 1118
