MA178 - College Algebra MA178 - College Algebra 3 Credit(s) Algebra is a foundational skill for exploring the physical world and predicting real events. This is a foundational course needed to understand most science, technology, education, and mathematics courses, both at Colby Community College and other schools. Regardless of your major, you will learn real-life skills such as understanding compound interest, which is used in auto loans, home mortgages, and retirement accounts. Topics include solving equations, sketching graphs, and solving inequalities for linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, exponential, and absolute value functions. Transformations of graphs, symmetries, function arithmetic, and complex numbers. If time permits systems of inequalities and systems of equations, including matrices will be explored.
