A course for students who intend to take calculus and need to acquire the necessary skills in algebra and trigonometry. The concept of function is stressed, with particular attention given to linear, quadratic, general polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Graphing in the Cartesian plane and developing the trigonometric functions as circular functions are included.

Prerequisites: eligibility for Q courses.

In the twentieth century, the theory of games gained prominence for its application to the social sciences. Game theory is a mathematical approach to modeling situations of conflict whether real of theoretical. This course will introduce the student to this exciting area of mathematics. Using algebra and some analytical geometry, students will be able to explore the mathematical foundations of game theory. At the same time students will encounter a wide range of applications of the theory of games. Topics covered will be chosen from: zero sum games, nonzero sum games, pure and mixed strategies, von Neumann’s Minimax Theorem, Nash equilibria, and cooperative games.

Prerequisities: Precalculus or permission of the instructor.
