This course builds sound and strong basic mathematics that are required for studying undergrad mathematics. This course is particularly important to students, whose mathematical skills are not sufficiently developed at high school levels. This course covers materials that include algebraic operations, radical and rational expression, equalities and in-equalities, functions and analytic geometry, special types of functions (linear, quadratic, inverse, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric), solution to equations, and identities involving some types of functions.

The student is expected to understand the basic concepts on the following topics that are covered in the course:

1. Exponents and Rational Exponents 2. Polynomials 3. Rational Expressions 4. Equations (Linear, Rational, Radical, Quadratic) 5. Functions and Their Graphs 6. Linear Functions and Slope 7. Composite and Inverse Functions 8. Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs 9. Rational Functions and Their Graphs 10. Polynomial and Rational Inequalities 11. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions 12. Exponential and Logarithmic Equations 13. Exponential Growth and Decay 14. Trigonometric Functions 15. Systems of Linear Equations in Two and Three Variables 16. Systems of Nonlinear Equations in Two Variables
