  • Review of the Mathematics Department MAT150 Syllabus posted under Files

    Dear MAT150 Students:

    Please review the Mathematics Department MAT150 Syllabus posted under Files on the left hand Menu, and click the Syllabus link here to view the Syllabus, then select three (3) titles of the topics by chapter that you consider that we have not covered as yet in this MAT150 class for this Fall 2018 semester.

    Post your selected topics in this Forum for a discussion.

    • Conic section, parabola, and right angle trigonometry  are topics that the class haven’t covered as yet. However I have basic knowledge of all three topics.

    • I don’t recall doing the Hyperbola. And I know what the Pythagorean Theorem is from previous classes but I don’t think we did free falling objects and projectiles.

    • Conic Sections, Parabola, and any trigonometry are some of the topics that we have not covered yet in class.

      • Similar Triangles and Applications
      • The Ellipse: Definition, Standard Form, Sketching the Graph
      • Solving Right Triangles and Applications

       

    • Class #20-22 – Complex Numbers: We very briefly touched on the powers of i and have bounced around between many of the topics here but have not had a concentrated lesson.

       

      Class #29-34 – Conic Sections: Unless this was done on the one day I missed class I do not recall this topic being touched.

       

      Class #34-40 – Introduction to Trigonometry: I have an understanding of angles and the types of angles based on my historical math knowledge. Radians, Right Triangle Trigonometry and the like could certainly use a refresher.

    • 36 Introduction to Trigonometry: Defining Angles, Degree
      Measure, Types of Angles, Relationships Between Angles
      37 Radian Measure, Arc Length, Area of a Circular Sector,
      Conversion Between Degrees and Radians
      38 Similar Triangles and Applications

    • I’m not sure if we covered the following topics:

      •  Introduction to Trigonometry: Defining Angles, Degree
        Measure, Types of Angles, Relationships Between Angles
      • Radian Measure, Arc Length, Area of a Circular Sector,
        Conversion Between Degrees and Radians
      • Similar Triangles and Applications

    • Three topics we haven’t covered:

      -Right Triangle Trigonometry, Trigonometric Functions of 30°, 45° and 60°,

      -Conic Sections

      -Similar Triangles and Applications

      I don’t remember a good portion from high school, just basics covered in geometry and a bootleg trig class.

      1. Solving Systems of Equations in Two Variables Consisting of a
        Linear Equation and a Quadratic Equation.

      2. Similar Triangles and Applications.

      3.  The Quadratic Formula, The Discriminant and the Nature of the
      Roots of a Quadratic Equation

      • The Hyperbola: Definition, Asymptotes, Standard Form, Sketching the Graph
      • The Ellipse: Definition, Standard Form, Sketching the Graph
      • Applications: Number Relations, Free Falling Objects, Projectiles, Pythagorean Theorem, Area Problems.
    • 20
      Complex Numbers: the Imaginary Unit i, Pure Imaginary Numbers, Powers of i, Square Roots of Monomials Revisited

      22
      Operations on Complex Numbers, Graphical Representation of Complex Numbers

      30
      Conic Sections: The Distance Formula and the Circle, Center and Radius, Standard Form, Sketching the Graph

    • Solving Systems of Equations in Two Variables Consisting of a
      Linear Equation and a Quadratic Equation;

      Applications: Number Relations, Free Falling Objects, Projectiles,
      Pythagorean Theorem, Area Problems

      Similar Triangles and Applications

    • 30 Conic Sections.
      31 The parabola
      36 Introduction to Trigonometry

      I do not recall to topics 30 and 31. I don’t remember much from trigonometry from high school.

      1. The Ellipse: Definition, Standard Form, Sketching the Graph
      2. Right Triangle Trigonometry, Trigonometric Functions of 30°, 45° and 60°
      3. The parabola

      I only recall the topic of the right triangle from high school. The other topics I have not heard of or know how to solve them

      1. Right Triangle Trigonometry, Trigonometric Functions of 30°, 45°and 60°
      2. Introduction to Trigonometry: Defining Angles, Degree Measure, Types of Angles, Relationships Between Angles
      3. Radian Measure, Arc Length, Area of a Circular Sector, Conversion Between Degrees and Radians
