An introductory level algebra course intended primarily for those with weak or no skills or those who have been away from the subject for some time. This course provides the algebra background required for all entry level courses in mathematics. Completion of MTH 100 provides three administrative credits. Administrative credits cannot be applied towards credits required for graduation.

A study of solving systems of linear equations and their related matrices. Topics cover systems of linear equations, matrix theory including matrix factorizations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalizations, Gram-Schmidt process, the least-squares problems, the Spectral theorem of a real symmetric matrix, Triangle inequality and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, possibly Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).
