M305G ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS AND COORDINATE

GEOMETRY

Prerequisite and degree relevance:

This course assumes a knowledge of three and one-half units of high school mathematics

at the level of Algebra I or higher. M305G may NOT be earned after a student receives

credit for any calculus course (408C, 308K, M403K, or the equivalent) with a grade of at

least C.

Prerequisite is either a score of 480 /460 or above on the Math Level I or IC Test, or at

least a C in M301.

Course Description:

M305G is intended as an introduction to the functions that are studied in more detail in

the calculus sequence. The course covers sets, algebra of functions, inverse functions,

logarithms, exponential functions, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric

functions, polynomials, and the range, domain and graphs of these functions. Students

with four years of high school math who require calculus in their degree plans should

seek careful advice before taking this course. It may turn out to be a review and not

necessary for these students. Only one of the following may be counted toward the major

requirement for the Bachelor of Arts, Plan I, degree with a major in mathematics or

toward the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree: Mathematics 304E, 305E, 305G.
