Text: Mathematical Applications for Management, Life, and Social
Sciences by Harshbarger & Reynolds (11th edition)
Brooks/Cole 2016
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 maintain a C or better average lab is mandatory/
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.
8. Most of your tests require graphing. You are to bring your own graph paper for these tests.
in The Official Student Handbook http://www.udel.edu/stuguide/13-14/code.html#honesty. This policy will apply to every exam, quiz, homework,
and any other
assignment given in this course. Violations of any kind can
result in a failing grade for the course.
