California state law allows and encourages all students to enroll directly in transfer level math classes. As a student, you have the right to enroll into one of Laney’s transfer level classes for your first math class! Those classes are Math 1, Math 13, Math 15, or Math 50. The same law prohibits community colleges from offering pre-transfer level math classes, except in some special circumstances and only for specific groups of students.
See the information below on Laney College’s current pre-transfer classes, who is eligible to take them, and how to enroll.
Math 203 – Intermediate Algebra

Prerequisite(s) MATH 201 or MATH 210A-D or Appropriate placement through multiple-measures assessment process.
Recommended preparation: MATH 202
Not open for credit to students who have completed or are currently enrolled in MATH 211ABCD
Description: Intermediate algebraic operations: Real number properties and operations; solutions and graphs of linear equations in one and two variables; absolute value equations; advanced factoring; complex numbers, quadratic equations and systems of quadratic equations; conics; determinants; solutions and graphs of first-degree, quadratic and rational inequalities; exponential and logarithmic functions; and sequences and series.
Math 203 is only available to students enrolled in the Laney College Gateway to College Program.

Math 210 – Elementary Algebra, self-paced lab classes
The Math 210 self-paced classes (ABCD) are taken sequentially, 1 unit at a time. Completing all four classes is equivalent completing a 4-unit class in Elementary Algebra. Each course (ABCD) is one unit of credit. Classes are Modular and open-entry/open-exit.
Prerequisite(s) MATH 225 or MATH 250 or MATH 251D or MATH 253 or appropriate placement through multiple measures assessment process.
The Math 210 courses have no meeting times, since they are self-paced courses. All students enrolled may use the Math Lab (G-201) to complete work and access tutoring, but there is no mandatory attendance requirement. These self-paced courses do not offer direct instruction. These courses are offered through Canvas and use MyOpenMath, a free online homework system. During this remote learning time, ALL of the homework and the Exams are offered online through Canvas. Within Canvas, there are a series of video homework assignments that lead to a larger homework assignment tied to each learning goal for each unit. There is also a free online textbook that you may download and use (or even order, if you prefer).
Descriptions of each class below:
210A - Real number properties, the four basic operations with integers and rational numbers, solutions of linear equations.
210B - Applications utilizing rst-degree equations, the four basic operations ith polynomials, integral exponents, factoring.
210C - Algebraic fractions, graphs of linear equations, solutions of linear systems.
210D - Solutions of first-degree inequalities, graphs of linear inequalities in two variables, radical expressions, solutions to quadratic equations.

Math 211 – Intermediate Algebra, self-paced lab classes.
The Math 211 self-paced classes (A, B, C, and D) are taken sequentially, 1 unit at a time. Completing all four classes is equivalent completing a 4-unit class in Intermediate Algebra. Each course (A, B, C, and D) is one unit of credit. Classes are Modular and open-entry/open-exit. Prerequisite(s) MATH 201 or MATH 210D or appropriate placement through multiple-measures assessment process. Recommended preparation MATH 202.

Descriptions of each class below:
211A - Real number properties and operations, absolute value equations, solutions and graphs of linear equations in one and two variables, various equations of lines.
211B - Polynomial operations and advanced factoring, rational expressions and equations, exponents and radicals, complex numbers.
211C - Quadratic equations, conics, systems of linear and quadratic equations, determinants.
211D - Solutions and graphs of first-degree, quadratic and rational inequalities, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series.

Math 220 – Technical Mathematics with Algebra, self-paced lab classes.
The Math 220 self-paced classes (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) are taken sequentially. Math A, B, C, D, E and F are ½ unit each, and Math 220G is a 1-unit class. Completing all seven Math 220 classes is equivalent completing a 4-unit class in Technical Math with Algebra. Classes are Modular and open-entry/open-exit. Recommended preparation MATH 253 or MATH 250 or appropriate placement through multiple-measures assessment process.
The Math 220 series is tailored for some of the vocational education programs on Laney campus. Students may enroll in these one- or half-unit modules at any time during the semester, and we ask that you are enrolled in at least one section while completing coursework in the lab during each semester. Technical Math does not use computer based homework systems. We assign suggested homework for students to complete from the textbooks. The Math 220 courses have no meeting times, since they are self-paced courses. All students enrolled may use the Math Lab (G-201) to complete work and access tutoring, but there is no mandatory attendance requirement.
Descriptions of each class below:
220A – Selected topics in algebra useful for the vocations: Signed numbers, exponents, roots, order of operations; applications to the trades.
Selected topics in algebra useful for the vocations: Algebraic expressions, solving linea
220B – Selected topics in algebra useful for the vocations: Algebraic expressions, solving linear equations, formulas, ratio and proportion, word problems; applications to the trades.
220C - Selected topics in algebra useful for the vocations: Systems of equations, solving by substitution, solving by elimination, word problems; applications to the trades.
220D - Selected topics in algebra useful for the vocations: Multiplying and dividing simple algebraic expressions, negative exponents, scientific notation, quadratic equations, word problems; applications to the trades.
220E - Practical plane geometry: Angles, polygons, types of triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, circles, perimeter and area of plane figures examples and problems drawn from the trades.
220F - Practical solid geometry and geometric constructions: Definitions, surface area volumes of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres constructions of specific lines, angles, and triangles.
220G - Trigonometry useful for the vocations: Right triangle trigonometry, angle measurement in degrees and radians, basic trigonometric functions of acute and obtuse angles, solving triangles; applications to the trades.
Math 220 is only available to students enrolled in Career and Technical Education Programs at Laney College that specifically require Math 220 classes for certificates or degrees. Please see your counselor.
