Courses offered by the PACe Center
	The PACe Center offers precalculus mathematics courses in an online, interactive format that uses a guided exploration and mastery approach to learning. Precalculus courses are developed as a series of one-credit minicourses, with a placement exam that guides students into the courses that are most appropriate for their current skills.
	MATH 117 / MATH 118, College Algebra in Context College Algebra in Context I & II have been developed as a pair of one credit minicourses. In MATH 117-MATH 118 concepts and skills traditionally identified with college algebra are presented in a learning environment that emphasizes active student involvement in investigating, interpreting, applying, and communicating mathematical ideas. Topics include the idea of a mathematical model, linear functions, quadratic functions and equations, polynomials and polynomial equations, rational functions, inverse functions, root functions, and fractional exponents. A Texas Instruments TI-84 ® graphing calculator is required.
	MATH 124, Logarithmic and Exponential Functions The topics in this minicourse include definitions and graphs of exponential functions, definition of the logarithmic functions as the inverses of the exponential functions, properties of logarithmic functions, techniques for solving exponential and logarithmic equations, and mathematical models involving logarithmic or exponential functions. Students are required to use a scientific calculator in their investigations of these topics. A Texas Instruments TI-84 ® is strongly recommended.
	MATH 125, Numerical Trigonometry, MATH 126, Analytic Trigonometry This sequence of two minicourses is designed to help students acquire conceptual understanding and computational proficiency with traditional topics from plane trigonometry. Content includes definitions and graphs of the six trigonometric functions, techniques for solving right and oblique triangles, the inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, and solving trigonometric equations. Students are required to use a scientific calculator in their investigations of these topics. A Texas Instruments TI-84 ® is recommended.
