                      Department of Mathematics Catalog Changes





           1.  Change MATH 105 to read:



               Intermediate Algebra (3)



               Algebraic expressions, linear and quadratic equations,

               systems of equations, inequalities, exponents and

               graphing.  This coures does not count as part of the

               120 hours required for graduation but does contribute

               to GPA.
