10. Math background: I went up to trig/pre-calc in high school, but that was almost 3 years ago, so I'm a little rusty
11. Mathematical concepts I may struggle with: probably logarithmic functions. I sucked at those before

My comfort level with the following topics:

Equations- V

Factoring- C

Adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing fractions/rational expressions- C

Simplifying expressions- V

Operations on roots and fractional exponent expressions- U

Operations involving whole number exponent expressions- C

Finding common denominators- V

Inequalities- V

Functions- C

Absolute value- V

Linear functions- C

Systems of equations- C

Domain and range- V

Inverse functions- C

Transformations (shifting, scaling, stretching, etc)- V

Quadratic functions- V

Completing the square- C

Exponential functions- U

Logarithmic functions- U

Base e- U

Graphing- C

Trigonometric concepts- U

12. Areas in which I think I will do well: probably factoring, transformations, and quadratic equations!

13. Social media formats I'm familiar with: Texting, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr

14. Social media I use most frequently: Texting

15. Major: Business Entertainment

16. Why I'm taking this class: I'm not the best at math, and I need a course to become familiar with terms and such before moving on to my requirements for my major!

17. Other math classes: I'm currently taking macro (which involves algebra), I'll also have to take micro, calc, stat, and accounting! So basically a lot of math

18. What I hope to learn: I hope to better prepare myself for my calc class that I'll have to take at some point

19. Anything else about me: I'm pretty much obsessed with the TV show Sherlock, and, on a more serious note, I love to travel to new places!
