Welcome to SPC Mathematics Department!

College Algebra and Trigonometry are the absolutemost importantmath classes for any mathematics-based major.

Front of Math & Engineering building

Immediately following are Analytical Geometry and Linear Algebra.  These four math classes are essential to the building blocks of all math, science, & engineering classes as well as used mostly on the job in a STEM career.  One must be fluent in each of these classes to obtain maximum success in all academic STEM classes as well as job applications in the work field.  Thus, how good are your algebraic and trigonometric skills?  To determine your proficiency, contact SPC Associate Professor of Mathematics , Shirley Davis, for an assessment test.
