MAT 116 - Math for the Technologies 2
Credits: 4
4 Lecture Hours
Prerequisites: MAT 114
Description
This course is a continuation of MAT 114 . Topics include functions and graphs, vectors, oblique triangles, exponential and logarithmic functions, complex numbers and conic sections.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Compare and contrast exponential and logarithmic functions.
- Determine the solutions of exponential and logarithmic equations.
- Adapt the laws of sines and cosines to determine the missing parts of oblique triangles.
- Analyze trigonometric functions and sketch their graphs.
- Verify trigonometric identities and determine the solutions of trigonometric equations.
- Apply basic mathematical operations to complex numbers.
- Discriminate between various conic sections and determine their unique characteristics.
Listed Topics
- Exponential and logarithmic functions
- Trigonometric functions (Law of sines, Law of cosines, identities, equations, graphs)
- Complex numbers
- Conic sections
Reference Materials
Each student will be required to have a graphing calculator and textbook adopted by the Mathematics Department at the specific campus. If available, students may purchase a student solutions manual or make use of the interactive software and videotapes located in the math laboratory.
