Welcome to Applied Algebra [CMAT 1203]!
Course Introduction
This Applied Algebra [CMAT 1203] course adheres to the scope and sequence of a one-semester Applied Algebra course. The course description provided is from the statewide common course information.
Course Description: Emphasizes applications involving solving equations and inequalities; function properties and graphs; linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions.Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Apply mathematical foundational techniques of divisibility, factorization, unit conversations, and order of operations.
- Use formulas to solve geometry problems and applications.
- Apply algebraic techniques to solve equations and inequalities.
- Interpret function properties and graphs.
- Solve problems with linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
- Solve application problems using technology to build student's knowledge of digital skills.
(**Note: This course also provides foundational skills for students concurrently enrolled in Applied Algebra. As a co-requisite, this course enables students to complete both this course and Applied Algebra in the same semester.
Upon successful completion of the co-requisite support course, the student will be able to:
- Recognize mathematical foundational techniques of divisibility, factorization, unit conversations, and order of operations.
- Identify formulas that are used to solve geometry problems and applications
- Identify algebraic techniques to solve equations and inequalities.
- Recognize different function properties and graphs.
- Apply knowledge to interpret function properties and graphs.
- Identify techniques to solve problems involving linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
- Identify the different technology methods to solve application problems

Structure of the Course
The course includes 7 content Modules which covers each of the 7 chapters in the textbook (links provided). Each module includes a brief introduction text with module learning objectives, links to the corresponding Pressbook sections, homework assignments in MyOpenMath, a Quiz in MyOpenMath, a Q&A discussion forum for that Module, and Digital Skills assignments. There are additional modules for smaller Exams, a Midterm Exam, and/or Final Exam.
(Note: If you are not teaching this course as a co-requisite, adjustments to the concepts taught in a semester is advised.)
Navigating the Course
This course is set up in Modules covering various topics which may be accessed from the course navigation menu on the left or by scrolling below. Modules may be collapsed in the menu and it the body of the course to minimize scrolling. Each module includes the relevant chapters followed by various activities, which may include discussion forums, listening activities and quizzes, practice quizzes, module tests, and other relevant activities as appropriate for each module. Many items are required and may be marked as completed automatically when the activity has been submitted (the broken check box), but others will marked as done by the student (the solid check box).
Please move through the items below and continue through the Learner Support and Getting Started modules before moving on to Module 1. Be sure to check for announcements and due dates to stay on track.
