The study of the properties of elementary functions, such as polynomial, absolute, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics include equations, inequalities, functions, and their graphs. Students will formulate, analyze, solve and interpret mathematical and real-world problems. Student work will be completed in an open-source homework platform through the online learning management system (LMS) as well as some paper assignments to be scanned and submitted electronically to the LMS. A mix of figures, video lectures, examples, and help is available to assist students in the course. Throughout the course, students will have opportunities to have video conversations with the course facilitator.
