GENERAL COURSE PURPOSE

This course provides a basis for the study of science or calculus.

Astronomical Clock in Prague, Czech Republic

The Astronomical Clock, the Orloj, on the side of the Old Town Hall Tower is a highly visited site in Prague. The mechanical clock and astronomical dial date back to 1410 when it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, the latter a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Charles University.

"The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details."

Make-up work:

          Tests and homework assessments are given
          over a wide range of dates and will not be
          extended except for grave circumstances.

Online classes have a range of dates for which an assessment is available.

Many assessments have 2 attempts. The 2 attempts must be completed in the availability dates allowed.

Math Lab on campuses:

A free math lab is available for each student.

Withdrawals

You will be removed by me from this course for any of the following reasons:

You are a NO Show during the no Show
period at the beginning of the course.
You are not listed on the SIS page.

Calendar

The Calendar above shows dates, sections assigned in the textbook and assessments:

Homework quizzes
Quizzes
Tests
Midterm Exam
Final Exam

Assessments-Take Home Tests-Homework

Assessments will be inside iCollege. They may be done at home. Please notice the link in iCollege
on the front page that says Assessments. If you will click on it you will see a list of assessments. You should print the calendar and the list of
assessments inside iCollege.

In the table of each assessment is availability
for that assessment. The assessments are given
over a range of dates to accommodate our
students. This is so that each of you can plan
when it is easiest to get in to work on an
assessment. That is why there is a range
of dates in iCollege.

Do not start an assessment unless you plan to finish it. Once the clock starts in an assessment it does not stop until time runs out. You may not go back and start and stop it. Also, you must complete it before the deadline inside iCollege. So if you wait till the last day and run out of time, you get the grade for the problems that you finished.

*****Assessments marked tests have 2 attempts but have a waiting period of 2 hours between attempts. This means that if you wait till the last hours of availability for a test you may forfeit your opportunity for 2 attempts.

There are 7 homework assessments. These are all found in iCollege. This is 20% of the grade.

Fractals
"Fractal art is created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, music, or other media. Fractal art is usually created indirectly with the assistance of fractal generating software, iterating through three phases: setting parameters of appropriate fractal software, executing the possibly lengthy calculation and evaluating the product." Wikipedia

GENERAL EDUCATION OUTCOMES

I. This course addresses the general education outcome relating to communication by providing additional support as follows:

a. Students improve their listening skills by taking part in general class discussion and in small group activities.

b. Students improve their reading skills by reading and discussing the text and other materials. Reading mathematics requires skills somewhat different from those used in reading materials for other courses, and these are discussed in class.

c. Unit tests, examinations and other assignments provide opportunities for students to practice and improve mathematical writing skills. Mathematics has a specialized vocabulary that students are expected to use correctly.

II. This course addresses the general education outcome of demonstrating effective individual and group problem-solving and critical skills as follows:

a. Students must apply mathematical concepts to non-template problems and situations.

b. In applications, students must analyze problems, often through the use of multiple representations, develop or select an appropriate mathematical model, utilize the model, and interpret results.

III. This course addresses the general education outcome of using mathematical concepts to interpret, understand and communicate quantitative data as follows:

a. Students must demonstrate proficiency in problem solving including applications of linear, quadratic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

b. Students must use functions to describe real-world situations and interpret information given by numerical, graphical, verbal or symbolic representations of the function.

ENTRY LEVEL COMPETENCIES

It is assumed that students entering this course have competency in intermediate
algebra at the level of Math 0098. Students should also be able to do
the following:

1. Analyze applications for which linear and quadratic equations are mathematical models

2. Solve linear, quadratic, and basic exponential and logarithmic equations

3. Solve systems of linear equations in several unknowns using matrices, solve systems of nonlinear equations in two variables.

4. Identify and graph the following types of functions in two variables: linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and split domain

5. Identify a function from a rule, a graph, and a set of ordered pairs

6. Identify functions as increasing/decreasing

7. State the domain and range of a function from a rule and from a graph

8. Define exponential and logarithmic functions, emphasizing the relationship between them.

9. Compose functions.

10. Find inverse functions

11. Convert general equations of parabolas and circles to shifted form. Identify and graph circles, horizontal and vertical parabolas.

General Notes:

The TI-83 graphing calculator is the required calculator for this course. Although facility with a graphing calculator is not a course objective, it is recommended that, by the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. evaluate functions

2. choose appropriate calculator modes

3. graph functions with an appropriate viewing window

4. approximate zeros of functions and points of intersection to a prescribed

degree of accuracy using the calculate key
