What math class should I take?


Challenge Process

Do you have the math ability to enroll in a higher-level course? If so, you can challenge your current math placement/current math milestone level. Click here for more information about challenge exams.


MATH 104 (Trigonometry)

Are you interested in STEM? Take Math 104 or Math 104X. Math 104X means there is extra instructor support and an embedded tutor. Go the class schedule and sign-up today.


MATH 116 (College Algebra)

Are interested in Business or Life Science, take Math 116 or Math 116X. Math 116X means there is extra instructor support and an embedded tutor. Go the class schedule and sign-up today.


MATH 118 (Math for Liberal Arts)

Do you need to fulfill your math requirement but do not want to take algebra or statistics, consider Math 118. Go the class schedule and sign-up today.


MATH 119 (Elementary Statistics)

Do you need to fulfill your statistics requirement, consider Math 119/Math 119X. Go the class schedule and sign-up today.


MATH 150 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry I)

Are you a STEM major and successfully passed Precalculus in high school? Consider taking Math 150 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry I) with Counselor approval. Students can also enroll in Math 150X which comes with extra support and an embedded tutor. Or, consider taking Math 141/Math 141X (Precalculus) to get a strong foundation for your math classes. Go the class schedule and sign-up today.


Tutoring Opportunities in the Math Lab

Are you interested in tutoring? Tutoring is a great opportunity to help your fellow students, improve your resume and strengthen your math skills. We are looking for students who have taken Math 119 OR Math 151 or above. Email Donnie Tran for more information.

General Information

Mathematics is the study of numbers, structures, and associated relationships using rigorously defined literal, numerical and operational symbols. Given certain conditions about systems of numbers or other objects, mathematicians derive conclusions based on logical arguments. Basic mathematical skills enable a person to solve numerical problems encountered in daily life, and more advanced skills have numerous applications in the physical, social and life sciences.

Program Goals and/or Outcomes

The mathematics curriculum includes courses that range from basic skills through differential equations. The basic skills and associate degree level courses provide students with the mathematical preparation necessary for study in other disciplines, as well as for degree and transfer requirements. Successful completion of this curriculum a mathematics degree will develop competence in mathematics through differential and integral calculus, providing an adequate background for employment in many technological and scientific areas as well as providing a firm foundation for students planning advanced study in mathematics, engineering, or physical sciences.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the program the students will able to:

  • Demonstrate ability to apply mathematical skills to achieve academic and professional goals
  • Demonstrate an ability to apply critical thinking in problem solving
  • Demonstrate sufficient mathematical knowledge for further academic study in mathematics or related disciplines
  • Demonstrate ability to analyze and solve mathematical problems in everyday life
