Course Descriptions

1114. Mathematics Review 1 hour
Prerequisite: Score 35 or below on Mathematics Placement Exam or
consent of instructor
Designed to assist students in preparing for Intermediate or College
Algebra. Placement in this class is determined by performance on the
Mathematics Placement Test. Operations with signed numbers and fractions and the following topics from beginning algebra: basic set concepts, the four operations with simple polynomials, exponents, roots, radicals, factoring basic polynomials, and solving simple equations and inequalities. Course grade will be “P” or “Z.” Students who do not earn a 70 or better will earn a grade of “Z” in MAT 1114 and must retake the course. Students who pass with a grade of 70 or better will receive the “P” grade and credit, and enroll in MAT 1301. Students are required to attend and participate in class or they will be withdrawn from the course. This course does not fulfill the mathematics requirement within the General Education
Curriculum.

1301. Intermediate Algebra 3 hours
Prerequisite: Score between 36 and 71, inclusive, on Mathematics
Placement Exam or grade of “P” in MAT 1114
Fundamental operations, solution of linear equations, products and
factoring, functions and graphs, ratio and proportion, exponents and
radicals, quadratic equations, and simultaneous equations. Preparatory
course for MAT 1302. Course grade will be a “P” or “Z.” Students who do
not earn a 70 or better will earn a grade of “Z” in MAT 1301 and must
retake the course. Students who pass with a grade of 70 or better will
receive the “P” grade and credit, and enroll in MAT 1302 or 1304. Students
are required to attend and participate in class or they will be withdrawn
from the course. This course does not fulfill the mathematics
requirement within the General Education Curriculum. Once credit is received for MAT 1302 College Algebra or a subsequent mathematics course, no credit will be given for MAT 1301 Intermediate Algebra. Texas Wesleyan University will not accept the transfer of Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1301) for credit from any institution.
