Text: Mathematical Applications for Management, Life, and Social Sciences by Harshbarger & Reynolds (8th edition)
Course Description: This course is designed for students who wish to satisfy the math requirement for graduation and who are not planning to continue taking math courses. The course will cover some concepts in algebra, how to work with linear equations and functions, how to work with inequalities and use graphing for simple linear programming. The course also covers some nonlinear models such as quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Finally probability and some basic statistics topics will be covered. It would be beneficial to you to have a calculator that has a statistics mode and has keys such as yx, ex, lnx, sin, cos, tan.

Test 1: This test will cover sets, real numbers, exponents, factoring
and fractions. It will also include solving linear equations and inequalities,
graphing linear equations, working with functions and finding equations
of lines.
Test 2: This test will cover solving systems of equations, solving business
problems involving break-even points, working and using graphing
to
solve
linear programming problems. It will also cover quadratic functions, parabolas,
and some business applications of quadratics.
Test 3: This test will cover working with exponential and logarithmic
functions and their properties. It will also cover sequences and how to
use
these to solve simple and compound interest problems. Finally it will cover
some right triangle and unit circle trigonometry.
Test 4: This test will cover some of the principles of probability and
statistics. It will cover some basic probability and the use of combinations
and permutations. The statistics portion of this test will cover histograms,
measures of central tendency and variation, the normal
distribution and a little on linear regression.
Grading Policy:
TEST #1
100%
There will be four tests and a
#2 100%
final exam. The final exam will
#3 100%
count twice. One of these six
#4 100%
grades will be dropped so your
FINAL (Counts 100%
final grade is based on 500

points provided you attend class
regularly.

Class Guidelines:
1. You are responsible for all class material if you miss a class.
2. If you miss a test you must have a documented medical excuse, or
a reason I feel is appropriate, in order to take a makeup.
Please contact me at the office or at home within
24 hours if this happens to let me know what is wrong.
3. Homework will be reviewed during class and the Friday lab.
4. You are required to come to the Friday lab until the first test.
If you receive a "C" or better on the test, lab will be optional as long
as your
average remains above a "C". If you do not
get a 73 or better on the first test, you are required to come to lab until
your average is above 73.
5. If you are unable to come to a Friday lab, then please set up an appointment before the lab to see me during the week instead.
6. Although the test are worth 100 points, there will be some pop quizzes
given at various times that will give you an opportunity for extra credit.
These quizzes are similar to homework and there
will be no makeup quizzes given.
7. Only non-graphing calculators will be permitted. If you need to borrow one for a test a few will be available.
8. Most of your tests require graphing. You are to bring your
own graph paper for these tests.
