Text: Mathematical Applications for Management, Life, and Social Sciences by Harshbarger & Reynolds (9th edition) Brooks/Cole 2009
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.

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.
