Math 143 College Algebra

Math 143 Course Syllabus - Spring 2023

Please carefully read the requirements for this course. In this course, you will spend one hour in a classroom setting (attending a class meeting), and as much time as you need participating in Polya activities per week.  We require that 2.5 of those additional hours be spent with us in the Polya Center where some of our best resources are available to you, but you are always welcome to spend more—many of our students report that they like to spend all their math time in the Polya Center where tutors are available. 

The primary purpose of Math 143: College Algebra is to improve your skills and competency in algebra so that you will be successful in calculus, the other math courses required for your major, and in the courses that use mathematics.  Another goal is to help you develop your mathematical learning skills so that you will be more confident in future mathematical courses.
