What we know

From the catalog
Covers precalculus algebra, emphasizing functions (transformations, combinations, and composite functions). Topics include graphing and applications of linear, inverse, quadratic, polynomial and rational functions; exponential and logarithmic functions and applications; limits, continuity, and the derivative. A grade of C or better in this course meets the prerequisite for MTH 121 and MTH 131. Students who wish to take MTH 136, MTH 141 or MTH 153 should take MTH 114 instead. Students who need additional training in intermediate Algebra to prepare for Pre-Calculus should take MTH 112.

5.0 out of 5 starsFall 2025Brian BeyerWould take again

Prof Beyer ran a flipped classroom with lesson videos to be watched at home while the "lecture" hours were for us to complete the associated homework assignments with guidance if needed. If you can sit through the 30-45 min videos 2-3 times per week, you'll thrive in this course as his videos are clear, concise, and teach exactly the types of problems that will be on the exam. None of the exams had surprise questions - you'll have seen every single question before in some manner.

Tip: If you have any foundation in algebra whatsoever, you'll ace this course without too much effort. Do NOT be intimidated by this course. It's informative and perfectly paced.

Every review is free to read. Took MTH 113? Adding one takes about two minutes.
