MAT 116 Calculus for Social and Life Science Winter 2000 Instructor: Bruce Armbrust, phone: 541-4660 ext. 314, email: armbrust@ltcc.eduOffice Hours: Room A210, Mon. & Wed. 12:30-1:30 PM, Fri. 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Class Time and Location: Tues. & Thurs. 4:00-5:50 PM, E106 Textbook: Calculus: An Applied Approach, 5th Ed., Larson and Edwards Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this class. I will be demonstrating with the Texas Instruments-85. I will do my best to assist with other models, but I promise nothing. Course Description: MAT 116 is a continuation of MAT 115. Topics include: antidifferentiation, calculus for trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions, and applications. In this quarter we will delve into the other branch of Calculus, Integration. Along the way we will see the links between differentiation and integration, as well as develop rules for new classes of functions. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in Math 115, or a satisfactory score on the Mathematics Assessment Exam. Course Grade: Your final letter grade will be based on the usual grading scale: A 90-100%, B 80-89%, C 70-79%, D 60-69%, F 0-59% The following items will make up the course grade: Homework: 150 points Quizes: 100 points Exam1 (January 20): 150 points Exam2 (February 10): 150 points Exam3 (March 2): 150 points Final Exam (March 21): 300 points Homework: Homework will be due the class period after it is assigned. Homework not turned in at this time will be considered late. You may turn in homework up to one week after it is assigned for half credit. If all homework is turned in, and no more than three are late, the lowest regular exam score will be dropped. Quizzes: There will be approximately 5 announced quizzes given over the quarter. These quizzes will be designed to help prepare you for the exams. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. Since one score will be dropped, you may not make up a missed quiz. Exams: Students are to bring a calculator, pencil, and blank scratch paper to each exam. If you cannot make it to an exam (final not included), you may take it up to 2 school days prior to the scheduled date. Otherwise, the exam may be made up after the scheduled date with a penalty of 10% per day. Registration Information: You must register for this class at the Office of Admissions and Records. You may drop the class with no penalty or mark on your record on or before January 28. After January 28, you may drop the class and receive a grade of W until March 3. After March 3, if you are still enrolled, you will receive a grade of A,B,C,D,F or I. Course Schedule: The following is a tentative schedule. If things change (and I have money that says they will), I will let you know. January 4,6 4.1-4.3 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions 11,13 4.4,4.5 More Exp. and Log.
