Workshop Descriptions

 

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions and Factoring Polynomials

This workshop will be a review of simplifying algebraic expressions using commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Attendees will apply factoring techniques including greatest common factor, grouping, difference of squares, and trinomials to rewrite expressions in simpler forms. A refresher workshop recommended for students enrolled in Math 1314, 1324, 1325, 2412.

 

TI Graphing Calculator and Prep Topics for Statistics:

This workshop will present the basics of using a TI graphing calculator for statistics courses (STAT, LIST, ABS, Square root). Attendees will see examples and review topics such as rounding, scientific notation, conversions decimal/percent/fraction, absolute value, squaring/square root. Recommended for students taking Math 1342.

 

TI Graphing Calculator for STEM courses:

This workshop will present skills for using a TI graphing calculator for radical, trigonometric, rational, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Entering fractional expressions, storing values, finding min/max, working with matrices. Recommended for students taking Math 1314, 1324, 1325, 2412, 2413, 2414

 

Study Skills: How to Succeed in Math:

This workshop will focus on skills necessary for success in math courses and address why taking college math classes are harder than other classes. Tips for effectively completing homework, preparing for and taking tests, and managing anxiety will be provided. Recommended for students taking Math 0405,1332, 1314, 1324, 1325

 

Review of Beginning Algebra:

This workshop will be a review of order of operations, signed numbers, exponents, linear equations, and operations of polynomial expressions. Recommended for students taking Math 0405, 1332, 1314, 1324, 1325

 

Factoring Techniques:

This workshop will focus on different techniques for factoring binomial, trinomial and four term polynomials. Attendees will then use factoring to simplify rational expressions containing factors with negative and rational exponents. Recommended for students taking Math 1325, 2412, 2413, 2414

 

Review of Intermediate Algebra:

This workshop will be a review of graphing linear equations, slopes, solving systems of linear equations, factoring, solving quadratic and rational equations. Recommended for students taking Math 1314, 1324, 1325, 1316, 1350, 1351

 

Review of College Algebra:

This workshop will be a review of the difference quotient, compositions of functions, inverse functions, piecewise-defined functions, and exponential and logarithmic expressions and equations. Recommended for students taking Math 1325, 1316, 1350, 1351, 2412, 2413, 2414

 

Review of Trigonometry with right triangle approach:

This workshop will be a review of the right triangle trigonometry, reciprocal identities, quotient identities, Pythagorean identities, and inverse trigonometric functions, unit circle, and solving trig equations. Recommended for students taking Math 2412, 2413, 2414


Final exam review sessions hosted by various professors are offered during pre-finals week. Please see the list below for times and locations.
