The Mathematics program offered through CCCOnline includes the study of Preparatory Mathematics, General Mathematics, Finite Mathematics, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Statistics, Survey of Calculus for Business and Social Sciences, Calculus, and Differential Equations. Through these studies the intention is to impart specific knowledge of the basics of mathematics, general knowledge related to mathematical topics, and to develop the powers of reason and judgment.

The knowledge, understanding and perception that lead to critical and independent thought are fostered by the faculty and administration, and these qualities serve to enrich the lives and careers of its graduates.

Accuplacer® math assessment information

All Colorado community colleges require most students to take an Accuplacer® English and math assessment before registering. The purpose of the assessment is to identify which English or math course you should begin with to maximize your academic success. The Accuplacer® assessment is administered by computer and measures reading, writing/sentence skills, and algebra skills. The assessment is not timed, but generally takes about 2 hours to complete. Placement scores are valid for two years.

You can arrange to take the Accuplacer® through the testing center at your Home College, or by arranging to take the test at another approved testing site. Contact CCCOnline’s advisor for assistance.

Graphing Calculators

The TI-83 Plus is recommended. MAT030 and MAT060 use a scientific calculator. In MAT090, a regular graphing calculator is recommended and Math courses starting with MAT106 require access to a graphing calculator.
