MAT 0057A Pre-College Math Modules-A (3) (D) Six hours lecture/lab per week. Prerequisite: MAT
0057. This course is designed to strengthen arithmetic, geometric, and algebra skills. Successful completion of this course requires mastery of the material in nine modules covering arithmetic, algebra through quadratic equations, radical expressions, and graphing techniques. MAT 0057A cannot be repeated. However, students who do not earn a grade of "A.", "B.", or "C." will be allowed to register in
MAT 0057B.
