Profile

My name is Jennifer Caldwell and I look forward to being your math instructor this semester.  I have been teaching math for over 20 years and I have a true passion for helping my students reach their goals.

  • I believe that anybody can learn anything with the proper attitude, motivation, and environment.
  • I want my students to know that I am personally invested in their success; I deeply care that they learn and understand.
  • A class day is wasted if you have not learned something new and if we haven’t smiled and laughed together.

Although you may view your math class as simply a stepping-stone towards your degree, I hope you will come to realize that math is applicable in almost every aspect of our lives.  If you keep an open mind and are willing to participate, you will be pleasantly surprised at how your mathematical abilities improve.  

I can't wait to meet you in class!

Classes Taught

Spring 2024

MAT156 College Algebra/Functions with Review 6 Credits

Analysis and interpretation of the behavior and nature of functions including linear, quadratic, higher-order polynomials, rational, exponential, logarithmic, power, absolute value, and piecewise-defined functions; systems of equations, using multiple methods including matrices, and modeling and solving real world problems, along with review of intermediate algebra, as needed.

Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in each of the following: (MAT055, MAT056, and MAT057), OR MAT09+ or MAT114 or MAT115, OR an appropriate district placement for MAT120 or MAT121 or MAT122, OR permission of Department or Division Chair.

Course Notes: It is highly encouraged that you attend one of the FREE MCC Math Boot Camps that occur prior to the beginning of the semester.
