DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS

DSPM 0700 Basic Mathematics
Topics for instruction include operations involving fractions, decimals, and integers; and problems involving percent, ratio and proportion, graphs, basic geometry, systems of measurement, and basic statistics.  Algebra is introduced through evaluation of expressions and solutions of equations.  Methods for solving real-world applications are integrated throughout the course content.  Upon earning a grade of "C" or better, the student advances to Elementary Algebra, DSPM 0800.

DSPM0800 Elementary Algebra
Topics for instructions include integers, algebraic operations, linear equations, inequalities, functions, graphing techniques, and systems of equations.  Methods for solving real-world applications are integrated throughout the course content.  Upon earning a grade of "C" or better, the student advances to Intermediate Algebra, DSPM 0850. (Prerequisite:  DSPM 0700 or entry assessment.)

DSPM0850 Intermediate Algebra
Topics for instruction include rules for exponents, polynomials, rational expressions, rational equations, quadratic equations and functions, conics, and radicals.  Methods for solving real-world applications are integrated throughout the course content.  Upon earning a grade of "C" or better, the student becomes eligible to enter the first year college-level mathematics courses. (Prerequisite:  DSPM 0800 or entry assessment.)
