Mathematics Courses

The MC Math Lab is located in Room 124 of the Marie Hall Academic Building, 685-6837.

MATH 0190 Mathematical Calculations
1 Hour (0-1)
This course is designed to support MATH 0390 and MATH 0391. Tutorial help, computer-assisted instruction and video tapes/DVD’s are available to support this class. Math 0190 is a co-requisite of Math 0390 and MATH 0391 and must be passed with its co-requisite to progress through the development sequence. This course is repeatable as required.

MATH 0191 Mathematical Calculations THEA Class
1 Hour (0-2)
This course is designed to provide a review of mathematical concepts necessary to pass the THEA test. Students should have a math THEA score between 220 and 229. This course is not designed to take the place of appropriate leveling or remediation courses. Computer assisted instruction, tutorial help, THEA lectures, and video tapes/DVD’s are available to support this class. Students are required to take the THEA test at the end of the semester. This course may not be taken more than two times. Course fee.

MATH 0192, 0193, 0194, 0195 FLEX Introductory Algebra
1 Hour (0-1)
These four modules are equivalent to MATH 0390 and corequisite lab, MATH 0190. These are self-paced classes that must be completed in sequence. Students are allowed to compress or expand the amount of material completed in a semester. We suggest that students work at least four hours a week in the lab for at least four weeks to complete one of the modules. When the sequence is completed, the student will have four hours of credit comparable to those acquired in MATH 0390 and co-requisite lab. Computer assisted instruction, tutorial help, THEA lectures, and video tapes/DVD’s are available to support these classes. This Introductory Algebra sequence will permit students to become more proficient in areas of basic arithmetic operations, fundamental algebraic operations, simple factoring, exponents, radicals, the solving of linear and quadratic equations, and word problems. Requires successful score on math placement test or “B” or greater in MATH 0389 or 206 on THEA. Course fee.

MATH 0196, 0197, 0198, 0199 FLEX Intermediate Algebra
1 Hour (0-1)
These four modules are equivalent to MATH 0391 and corequisite lab, MATH 0190. These are self-paced classes that must be completed in sequence. Students are allowed to compress or expand the amount of material completed in a semester. We suggest students work at least four hours a week in the lab for at least four weeks to complete one of the modules. When the sequence is completed, the student will have four hours of MATH 0391 credit comparable to those acquired in MATH 0391 and co-requisite lab. Computer assisted instruction, tutorial help, THEA lectures, and video tapes/DVD’s are available to support this class. Prerequisite: Requires a “C” or greater in MATH 0390, or “P” in MATH 0192-0195 (FLEX Introductory Algebra sequence) or a satisfactory score on an algebra placement test or 230 on THEA. This Intermediate Algebra sequence is “intermediate” in difficulty between introductory and college algebra courses. This sequence includes a study of relations, functions, inequalities, factoring, polynomials, rational expressions, and quadratics. This sequence will permit students to become familiar with complex numbers, and to solve systems of linear and non-linear equations and inequalities, and to continue a study of word problems. Course fee.
