This course is the first two credits of a five-credit sequence of courses that comprises Algebra for Precalculus. Covers many topics of MATH 87 in greater depth. Operations on polynomials, algebra functions, symbolic approaches for solving equations, and geometric formulas. Exponential, logarithmic, and quadratic functions. Intended to prepare students for MATH 141. Registration permitted first seven weeks (six in summer) as space is available. MATH 93 and MATH 94 must be completed with a 2.0 within two consecutive quarters (excluding summer).
Prerequisite Prerequisite: MATH 84 or MATH 87 or equivalent with a minimum grade of 2.0; or satisfactory completion of MATH 10, MATH 11, MATH 16, or MATH 17; or appropriate placement.
