Math placement test – MTH103

This course provides students with a chance to master key concepts in pre-calculus mathematics (grade 12 math) and its applications. It also introduces students to calculus in a highly supportive atmosphere in order to prepare them to succeed in first year math calculus and science courses. Content includes review of algebra, functions and graphs, composite and inverse functions, polynomial and rational functions, log and exponential functions, trigonometric and its inverse functions, sum/difference formula and double angle formula.

Below is a list of different concepts that will be reviewed in the class, along with some helpful videos from the popular Khan Academy website, a free online resource.

Practice exercises include Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse, Right triangle, Congruent Triangles, Geometry Formulas, Similar Triangles.

Here are links to the study material:

• Geometry – Right Triangles
• Geometry – Congruent Triangles

Practices in complex numbers, quadratic equations in the complex number system, lines, and functions.

• Complex numbers
