What level is Math 1010?

Math 1010 is a developmental mathematics course (4 credit hours) designed to help students acquire intermediate algebra skills in preparation to take a Quantitative Literacy (QL) course. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in Math 0990 or an appropriate placement score.

What can I expect from math 1010?

Students will continue their use of variables and the simplifying and evaluating of algebraic expressions. Solving and graphing of linear and quadratic equations along with an introduction to linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions will be covered.

What is calculus and linear algebra?

Both linear algebra and calculus involve determining length, area, and volume. As for determining length, Linear algebra deals with straight lines involving linear equations, whereas calculus may calculate the length of curved lines involving nonlinear equations with exponents.

How do you explain basic algebra?

Basic algebra is the field of mathematics that it one step more abstract than arithmetic. Remember that arithmetic is the manipulation of numbers through basic math functions. Algebra introduces a variable, which stands for an unknown number or can be substituted for an entire group of numbers.

What is the emphasis on linear algebra in OCW?

Emphasis is given to topics that will be useful in other disciplines, including systems of equations, vector spaces, determinants, eigenvalues, similarity, and positive definite matrices. OCW has published multiple versions of this subject.

Which is the best subject for linear algebra?
