Textbook: Mathematics, A Practical Odyssey. 5th Edition. By Johnson/ Mowry A
copy of The Student Manual to Mathematics, A Practical Odyssey, 5th
ed. By Johnson/Mowry is in the
Gateway Math Center, the DRC, and in the Library. Course
Description: This course provides a
survey of a variety of branches of mathematics including inductive and deductive
reasoning, business and finance math, finding perimeter and area, The
Pythagorean theorem, an introduction to right triangle trigonometry, exponential
growth and decay, logarithms, probability and statistics.
An emphasis will be placed on overcoming the fear of mathematics and
seeing the use of mathematics in the "real world". Prerequisite:
A grade "C" or better in Math 154, or equivalent, or
appropriate skills demonstrated through the Math assessment process. Calculators:
You will need a scientific calculator for this course.
On the first day of class, I will advise you which scientific calculator
will be sufficient for this class. A
graphing calculator is not
allowed for testing. In
this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid an
unwanted grade. You
must go to Admissions & Records. Friday, Oct. 3, 2003
is the last day for refunds. Friday, Oct. 17, 2003
is the last day to drop with no record. Friday, Nov. 21, 2003
is the last day to withdraw with a
W grade. Students
with disabilities must identify themselves to me within the first two weeks of
class. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities:
Students requiring accommodations for a certain disability that may affect
class performance are requested to schedule with a staff member at the DRC to
discuss this during the first week of the quarter so that appropriate
arrangements can be made.
* Course materials available in alternate format.
Grading: Your
class letter grade will be based on the usual grading scale: A:
90% and above, B:
80-89%, C:
70-79%,
D: 60-69%, F: 59%

Total
100% I have given practice problems
after every section. I
do not collect practice problems. These exercises are for you to improve your understanding of the material
and to prepare you for quizzes and exams. Do these problems after each of their lectures.
Homework:
The Even-numbered problems are due
weekly and are to be turned in by
12:00 PM on the day they are due. The
assignment is considered late if it is not turned in at this time. If you will
be absent, either turn in the homework assignment early or have someone turn in
the homework assignment for you. Homework
that is late, but turned in within one week of the due date receives half
credit. Homework turned in
after this receives no credit.
Quizzes:
There are no make-up quizzes.
I give 5 quizzes, but only 4 are counted so you may drop your lowest
quiz. Midterm
Exams:
You must notify me before an exam if you will miss the exam (541-4660 EXT
368). Exams must be made up
within 3 school days after the scheduled date, with a penalty of 10%
You may take an exam up to 3 school days before the scheduled date
without penalty. Arrangements
must be made with me in advance. The
Comprehensive Final Exam is on Wednesday, December 10 at 10 AM. The Gateway Math Center has
free tutoring for all registered students.
Please Log In and Out so that the facility gets the funds it needs. Odd
means do the Odd numbered Problems. EOO
means do Every Other Odd Problem.
