MATD 0160 TOPICS IN DEVELOPMENTAL MATH (1-1-0). This course surveys a variety of mathematical topics needed to prepare students for the college-level courses MATH 1332, MATH 1342, and MATH 1333. It also covers most THEA mathematics topics. Topics include the arithmetic of integers and rational numbers, evaluating expressions and formulas, calculator use, problem-solving using data interpretation and analysis, informal geometry, pattern recognition, percentages, ratio and proportion, measurements, algebraic techniques for solving linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, rational equations, systems of equations, etc. Students who need to prepare for MATH 1314, MATH 1324, MATH 1316, etc. should not take this course, but instead should take MATD 0370 and MATD 0390. The same course is offered in a two hour (0260) and three hour (0360) format. ( ) Course Type: D
MATD 0162 TASP MATH PREPARATION (1-0-2). Designed to prepare students with minimal math deficiencies to perform effectively in college-level course work as defined by the Texas Success Initiative. ( ) Course Type: D
MATD 0290 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (2-2-0). A course designed to develop the skills and understanding contained in the second year of secondary school algebra. Topics include the properties of the real numbers; operations on polynomials and fractions; special products and factoring; radicals and rational exponents; solutions of linear, fractional, and quadratic equations; systems of linear equations; inequalities; coordinate systems; graphing. Prerequisites: When this course is combined with MATD 0370, it has the same prerequisite as MATD 0370. Otherwise it has the same prerequisite as MATD 0390. ( ) Course Type: D
MATD 0330 BASIC MATH SKILLS (3-4-0). A course designed to develop basic arithmetic and algebra skills to prepare for courses covering secondary school algebra, the first of which is MATD 0370. Content includes operations on whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, ratio and proportions, percent, solving linear equations in one variable applications, and relating simple algebra concepts to geometry. The same course is offered in a one hour (0130) and two hour (0230) format. ( ) Course Type: D

The same course is offered in a one hour (0160) and two hour (0260) format. Prerequisites: A passing grade of C or better in MATD 0330 (Basic Math Skills) or an acceptable score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test taken before enrolling in ACC mathematics courses. ( ) Course Type: D
MATD 0370 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA (3-4-0). A course designed to develop the skills and understanding contained in the first year of secondary school algebra. Topics include review of operations on real numbers, graphing linear equations, solving linear and quadratic equations, solving systems of linear equations, operations on polynomials including division of polynomials, use of negative exponents, operations using scientific notation, factoring, and applications. The same course is offered in a one hour (0170) and two hour format (0270). Prerequisites: C or better in MATD 0330 or its equivalent knowledge, or appropriate score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test taken before enrolling in ACC mathematics courses. ( ) Course Type: D
MATD 0390 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (3-4-0). A course designed to develop the skills and understanding contained in the second year of secondary school algebra. Topics include review of properties of real numbers, functions, algebra of functions, inequalities, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions and equations, radical expressions and equations, quadratic functions and their graphs, solving quadratic equations, and exponential functions. The same course is offered in a one hour (0190) and two hour (0290) format. Prerequisites: C or better in MATD 0370 or its equivalent knowledge, or appropriate score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test taken before enrolling in ACC mathematics courses. ( ) Course Type: D
