MAT 1150 · One-semester course
Precalculus
A full precalculus course: 9 units covering functions, polynomials, exponentials/logs, trigonometry, vectors/polar, and a preview of limits — each with lecture videos, notes, worked examples, exercises, and curated references. Three 20-question unit tests plus a 40-question final exam earn your certificate.
