Study Skills: How to Succeed in Math:
This workshop will focus on skills necessary for success in math courses and address why taking college math classes are harder than other classes. Tips for effectively completing homework, preparing for and taking tests, and managing anxiety will be provided. Recommended for students taking Math 0405,1332, 1314, 1324, 1325
Review of Beginning Algebra:
This workshop will be a review of order of operations, signed numbers, exponents, linear equations, and operations of polynomial expressions. Recommended for students taking Math 0405, 1332, 1314, 1324, 1325
Review of Intermediate Algebra:
This workshop will be a review of graphing linear equations, slopes, solving systems of linear equations, factoring, solving quadratic and rational equations. Recommended for students taking Math 1314, 1324, 1325, 1316, 1350, 1351
Review of College Algebra:
This workshop will be a review of the difference quotient, compositions of functions, inverse functions, piecewise-defined functions, and exponential and logarithmic expressions and equations. Recommended for students taking Math 1325, 1316, 1350, 1351, 2412, 2413, 2414
TI Graphing Calculator and Prep Topics for Statistics:
