MAT 065 - Fundamentals/Algebra I
This 4-credit course is intended for those students who are almost ready to begin Algebra I, but their placement tests indicate that there are a few basic math skills that need to be reviewed. In one semester, rather than two, the student will be able to complete a fast-paced review of integers, decimals, fractions, and percents—topics from Fundamentals of Mathematics (MAT 060)—and then cover the topics that are included in Algebra I (MAT 070). This course is also suitable for those students who have been out of school for a while and would like to brush up on their basic math skills before they begin Algebra I. Credits earned in this course will not apply to MCC degree programs.
Prerequisite: Placement by exam or permission of instructor.
Note: It will also serve as a prerequisite for any course that currently has a prerequisite of MAT 070.

MAT 075 - Algebra I/II
This one semester, 4 credit course is a fast-paced review covering the topics included in both Algebra I and Algebra II (MAT 070 and MAT 080). It is designed for students who have demonstrated (through math placement testing or prior mathematics coursework) that they are capable of making faster progress through material usually covered in two semesters. The course is intended for students with prior exposure to the algebraic topics and the appropriate study skills to work independently.
Prerequisite: Placement by exam or permission of Math Department
Note: Math Career Programs Only Elective
Note: This course will fulfill the requirement of one course beyohd Algebra I for non-transfer programs only It will also serve as a prerequisite for any course that currently has a prerequisite of MAT 080.

NUR 107- Math Review for Nurses
A study of the basic arithmetic techniques used in dosage and solution computations. Topics include a review of decimals, fractions, ratio and proportion. The metric and apothecary systems and conversion between systems are emphasized. Offered each semester including summer on a flexible schedule through the Self-Paced Learning Center. This course is intended for applicants to the nursing program who wish to review basic skills that will enable them to be successful on the Math for Nursing exam.
Note: NU1107 is a hybrid course. That means you may work independently at home, you may come into Self-Paced Studies to see your instructor if you need some help - or you may do some of each.
Note: You will be required to come to the Testing Room in Self-Paced Studies to take your two Unit Exams and your Final Exam.
