A course primarily designed for students preparing for trigonometry or calculus. This course focuses on functions and their properties, including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, piecewise-defined, and inverse functions. These topics will be explored symbolically, numerically, and graphically in real-life applications and interpreted in context. This course emphasizes skill building, problem solving, modeling, reasoning, communication, connections with other disciplines, and the appropriate use of present-day technology. This course is part of Oregon Common Course Numbering. MTH 111 and MTH 111Z are equivalent at PCC. The PCC Mathematics Department recommends that students take MTH courses in consecutive terms.
