Description

Prerequisite: Minimum ACT Math of 22, minimum SAT Math of 550 or completion of MAT 115 with C- or better. There is also a placement exam. MAT 143 is elementary and integral and differential calculus, in one variable, for the life sciences and business. Critical thinking and realistic problems are emphasized. This course assumes adequate preparation in algebra but the exponential and logarithmic transcendental functions will be developed. Trigonometric functions are not included, it incorporates necessary precalculus topics as they arise. This course may not be taken if credit has been received for MAT 151. This course does fulfill the core mathematics requirement needed for graduation.
