G
Student Papers and Projects
Math G
is the transfer level of this class. It uses a similar concept
but requires Intermediate Algebra as a prerequisite. Much of the
student work from Math G classes will be helpful with your assignments
in this class. The following examples are
some of the
best student work
in Math G from
previous semesters. They may inspire you to do equally good work and
may also give you some ideas for topic selection.
Some
layout and
illustrations may not look correct on this web version of the
paper.

these papers will only display uasing Internet Explorer (and not
