Applied Math. Course Materials: Math 111, 112, 113. Seattle Tech Prep Applied Academics Project.
South Seattle Community Coll., Washington.
This publication contains materials for three courses in Applied Math in the Applied Academics program at South Seattle Community College. It begins with the article, "Community College Applied Academics: The State of the Art?" (George B. Neff), which describes the characteristics, model, courses, and coordination activity that make up this community college applied academics program. Materials provided for each course include the following: course outline (credit, lecture, and lab hours; course description; prerequisites; learning objectives and hours of instruction) and course syllabus (course description; required materials; other policies; weekly schedules). The first course in the series introduces students to applied algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics. It covers these topics: algebraic operations, exponents, roots, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, significant digits, metric system, first degree equations, plane and solid geometry, solution of right triangles, functions, graphs, descriptive statistics, and calculator fundamentals. The second course includes the following subjects: binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems; factoring; operations with algebraic fractions; fractional and quadratic equations; systems of equations; determinants; geometry; trigonometric graphs; oblique triangles; and laws of sines and cosines. Covered in the third course are the following: radical equations, exponential and logarithmic equations, geometry, analytic geometry, inequalities, resolution of vectors, vector analysis, complex numbers, and polar coordinates.
