Notice: Starting Fall 2011, Math 185 College Algebra will be renumbered to Math 160 College Algebra and will have an updated syllabus. Math 160 will be a terminal course for many degrees, but will no longer be a prerequisite for Math 188 Calculus. Math 170 Pre-Calculus will be added to the list of available math courses at the same time. Math 170 will be a required course for students planning to take Math 188 Calculus starting Fall 2011, unless the student has already successfully completed Math 185 before the beginning of the Fall 2011 semester.
For more information, please call Merrill Adams at 505-566-3771.
