Mathematics Department Goals

1)      Students should extend the properities of exponents to rational exponents.

2)      Students should be able to use properties of rational and irrational numbers.

3)      Students should reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems.

4)       Students should perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.

5)      Students can represent complex numbers on the complex plane.

6)      Students can work with matrices vand vectors.

7)      Students can see and interpret the structure in expressions.

8)      Students can perform arithemetic with polynomials and retional expressions.

9)      Students can create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

10)     Students can reason with equations and inequalities using one variable, systems of equations and
graphic representations.

11)     Students can intrepret functions by understanding the concept of a function and using function
notation and relevant representations.

12)     Students can build functions from existing functions or models a relationship between two quantities.

13)     Students can construct and compare linear, quadratic and exponential models.

14)     Students can prove and apply trigonometric functions.
