MATH 510 Arithmetic

4 Units
Prerequisite MATH 504
For students requiring a complete study of arithmetic beginning with operations of whole numbers.
Topics include operations and applications involving whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratio,
proportion, and percent.
MATH 520 Arithmetic and Preparation for Algebra
4 Units
Prerequisite MATH 510
For students preparing for elementary algebra who are competent in the basic operations of arithmetic but
need instruction in fractions, decimals, and percents. Topics include prime factoring, fractions, decimals,
ratios, proportions, percents, introductory algebra concepts, integers, and numerical and variable
expressions.
MATH 410 Elementary Algebra
4 Units
Prerequisite: MATH 520
Fundamental algebraic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Special products
and factoring, rational expressions and their operations, solution and application of linear and fractional
equations, graphing of linear equations in two variable, introduction to radicals and quadratic equations.
