Chemistry 015 covers the fundamentals of modern inorganic chemistry with emphasis on atomic structure, chemical bonding, chemical formulas, nomenclature, equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions and related topics. Chemistry 015 is intended primarily as a preparation for the Chemistry 001A and 001B sequence. The central nature of chemistry among other branches of science is stressed, and examples of the important role that chemistry plays in our lives are presented. The course also meets the general education requirements for a laboratory science.

English 001B, a second semester college composition course, emphasizes expository and argumentative writing directed toward an analysis of ideas and concepts from a wide variety of literature; English 001B includes discussion of fiction, drama, poetry, the essay, and other expository prose-- stressing critical reading in these genres.

Students will focus on writing well organized and fully developed paragraphs with correct grammar, sentence structure and word choice. Concurrent enrollment in 0.5 unit of ESL 320L is strongly recommended for computer grammar and writing practice and instructional assistance.

This course in numerical and analytical trigonometry is designed to prepare students for the level of trigonometry and advanced algebraic concepts necessary for calculus. Topics will include trigonometric functions and equations, basic identities, graphing, inverse trigonometric functions, vectors, polar coordinates, and conic sections. Students may not receive credit for both MATH 022 and MATH 025.

This is a second course in calculus and analytic geometry for students majoring in mathematics, physical sciences, computer science, or engineering. Topics included are techniques of integration, applications of integration to areas, volumes, average values of functions, arc lengths, surfaces of revolution, problems in physics and engineering, use of parametric equations and polar equations to plot curves and compute derivatives, areas and arc length, a thorough study of infinite sequences, infinite series, and power series, and an introduction to differential equations.
