Required Textbook: Mathematics, A Practical Odyssey. 4^th Ed. By Johnson/ Mowry

Course Description: This course provides a survey of a variety of branches of mathematics including inductive and deductive reasoning, business and finance math, an introduction to trigonometric functions, exponential growth and decay, 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 within the last 2 years, or a satisfactory score on the Math assessment test.

It is important that students who are identified as being learning disabled speak to me about their special needs within the first week of class.

In this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid an unwanted grade. You must go to the registrar before June 1, 2001 to withdraw from the class.

My Commitment to this class: (“My” being that of the teacher.)

Ø I will check the earlier part of my day at the door when I enter, and give this class 100% of my attention while we are meeting.

Ø I will come to class well prepared.

Ø I will be here on time.

Ø I will not shortchange the students in this class by setting low standards.

Ø I will put 100% of my effort into being the best possible teacher for the students in this class.

Your Commitment to this class: (“Your” being that of the student)

How to succeed in a Math class:

1. Come to every class meeting.

Read each section before it is discussed in class.

Do some math every day.

Ask questions.

Study in groups with other students.

Prepare at least one week before exams.

Take advantage of tutors and office hours.

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% and under

Homework: 200 points

Midterm Exam 1: 100 points

Midterm Exam 2: 100 points

Midterm Exam 3: 100 points

Comprehensive Final Exam: 200 points

Homework: Homework is due the class period after the lecture on that section. Homework is considered late if it is not turned in at this time. You may turn in homework up to one week after it is due for half credit.

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% per day. You may take an exam up to 2 school days before the scheduled date without penalty. Arrangements must be made with me in advance. If you have turned in every homework assignment with no more than 3 late, you may drop one Midterm exam score.
