MAT1033 Intermediate Algebra Spring 2011, 3 credit hours
Intermediate Algebra: PR: MAT 0024 OR SUITABLE PLACEMENT SCORE or HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA OR C.I. Course Description: MAT 1033, Intermediate Algebra, is a 3 semester hour college credit course which may be applied towards a degree as elective credit. Since it is considered a “bridge” course, MAT 1033 cannot be applied towards the 6 hours ofgeneral education or Gordon Rule requirements in mathematics. MAT1033 is a prerequisite to MAC 1105, College Algebra. The purpose of the course is reinforcement and development of algebra skills needed for further study in mathematics. Topics include operations with polynomials and rational expressions, radicals, rational expressions, radicals, rational exponents, linear and quadratic equations,linear inequalities, and applications. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Factor positive integers into products of primes. 2. Simplify algebraic expressions. 3. Recognize the order of operations in algebraic expressions and equations. 4. Manipulate rational expressions. 5. Convert between standard and scientific notation. 6. Add, multiply, and dividepolynomials. 7. Factor monomials from polynomials, factor trinomials, and use the special factoring formulas. 8. Simplify expressions involving radicals, rational exponents, and absolute value. 9. Set up and solve word problems. 10. Solve linear, quadratic, and radical equations. 11. Solve linear inequalities. There is one lecture each week and a minimum of three hours required in the MathematicsAssistance and Learning Lab (MALL). See Faculty Information in MyLabsPlus. See Faculty Information in MyLabsPlus. Required: Intermediate Algebra, by Carson with MyLabsPlus access code, TI-30XA calculator, 8.5”X11” blue books for each test and the final exam, and iClicker Transmitter. You may use a Texas Instruments TI-30XA calculator on the tests. You may not use any other type or model calculator in thiscourse. Cell phone calculators and sharing calculators of any type will not be permitted. Use of an unauthorized calculator will result in a grade of zero and possible disciplinary action. Please observe common rules of courtesy. Once inside the classroom you should turn off all cell-phones and laptops as they are not to be used during class. Past experience indicates that the students who willsucceed in the class are the students who attend. You should plan on staying for the entire 50 minutes. Try to avoid leaving early, or arriving late, as it is a distraction to your classmates and your instructor. Additionally, if you arrive late or leave early, you may lose some or all of your class participation points for that day.

The work submitted in this class is expected to be your own. Forms of cheating/academic dishonesty include (but are not limited to): communicating with another student during a test (this includes giving information to another student as well asreceiving that information), using an unauthorized calculator, bringing in and using unauthorized material of any sort during a test, and communicating contents of a test to another student. UCF faculty members have a responsibility for your education and the value of a UCF degree, and so seek to prevent unethical behavior and when necessary respond to infringements of academic integrity. Penaltiescan include a failing grade in an assignment or in the course, suspension or expulsion from the university, and/or a "Z Designation" on a student's official transcript indicating academic dishonesty, where the final grade for this course will be preceded by the letter Z. For more information about the Z Designation, please see http://www.z.ucf.edu/ In addition, further disciplinary action through...
