V. Course Number and Title: MATH 215- Advanced Algebra

Prerequisite: Math 102 College Algebra

VI. School Year: 2016-2017 Semester: First

VII. Course Description:

This course provides a rigorous study of the fundamental concepts of functions leading to advanced concepts of special functions. It assumes student’s thorough
understanding of basic algebraic concepts including graphs and equations. This is prerequisite to the study of trigonometry. The use of graphing calculators and
computer algebra system is highly encouraged.(Reference: Bulletin of Information, College of Education, Main Campus)

VIII. Course Credit: 3 units, 3 lecture hours/week

IX. Course Outcomes:

At the end of the semester, the students must have:

1. appreciated and applied the fundamental concepts, principles and theorems in Algebra to human
needs.
2. developed computational skills, analytical and logical thinking.
3. solved problems using the principles and theorems learned.
4. acquired skills and techniques in graphing equations and functions.
5. identified various conic sections and sketch the graphs from given equations.
6. appreciated the value of functions in relation to the study of courses in the breeder sciences.
