The Linear Equation and Related Equations and Inequalities
When I started teaching there were two remedial courses, intro algebra and intermediate algebra, which were later called foundation courses because remedial had a bad connotation. They were high school level for students too weak for college level math, and did not count for credit. Then came college algebra and trig or discreet math, depending on one's major, which served as math requirements for many. In my case those courses did not count. Both physics and math started with calculus, then differential equations. After that we picked from the more advanced courses. Engineering and chem were in our position, nothing less than calculus counted.
