Course Syllabus Math 1324-201 – Mathematical Analysis I Spring 2011 Instructor: Kiyomi Kaskela Office: M111 E-mail: [email protected] Office Phone: 806-894-9611 ext. 2742 Office Hours: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 11:00 – 11:30 am 9:00 – 9:30 am 11:00 – 11:30 am 9:00 – 9:30 am 10:00 am – 1:00 pm 2:30 – 3:00 pm 5:00 – 5:30 pm (Reece) 8:15 – 8:45 pm (Reece) 12:45 – 1:15 pm 2:30 – 3:00 pm 5:00 – 5:30 pm (Reece) 8:15 – 8:45 pm (Reece) 12:45 – 1:15 pm Also by appointment Textbook: Finite Mathematics, 2nd Custom Edition for South Plains College, Lial, et. al., Pearson Education, 2008. Prerequisites: Two years of high school algebra or Math 0320, TSI compliance Supplies: Graphing calculator: TI-83 or 84 Course Specific Instructions: There are video tapes of many topics available in the room M116 in the math building at the Levelland campus. These tapes can be viewed in the lab, or checked out and taken home for viewing. These videos can also be viewed online. Go to WebCT, for the log in name and password type “mvideos”. You can then find the appropriate course and the topic in which you are interested. Course Description: Topics include inequalities, progression, relations, functions, systems of equations, matrices, linear programming, compound interest and annuities. Course Purpose/Rational/Goal: The purpose/rationale/goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental principles in business mathematics including functions, systems of equations, linear programming, and financial math and to prepare students to study Mathematical Analysis II. Course Requirements: To maximize the potential to complete this course, a student should attend all class meetings, complete all homework assignments and examinations including final projects and/or examinations.Course Evaluation: Your grade will be determined by the 3 in-class tests (100 points each), the comprehensive final (200 points), homework assignments (150 points total), and a project (50 points). There will be no makeups for any test. If you miss a test by a valid reason/documentation, your final test grade will replace your missed test after being converted to a 100-point scale. (If you can make arrangements and take the test before it is handed back, you may take the same test as the rest of the class.) Also, for those students with good attendance and good class participation, the lowest in-class test grade will be replaced with your final test grade after being converted to a 100-point scale (if it is higher than the in-class test). Homework: Homework will be assigned each day and will be collected at the following lecture day usually at the end of class. I will also accept both assignments from one week on the following Monday with two points reduction of your homework points (out of 10 points). Either method you turn in your homework assignments, only one from any week will be graded as your homework grade for the week. The other homework assignment will be also graded but only for bonus points (2 possible points). As your homework assignment grade for the week, this results 12 possible points for students who turn in their homework assignment on time, and 10 possible points for students who turn in their homework assignments together on Monday. Only time permits, I will answer to your homework questions before collecting your assignment. A 30-minute office hour will be set up right before or after the lecture for any homework help. You may turn in your assignments after this office hour. All work will be shown on the homework, or it will be counted as not done. At the end of the semester, the top 10 homework assignments will be considered as your homework grade. No late homework will be accepted except the above condition. If you miss a class, you are expected to get the assignment and stay caught up. Assessment Procedures: The summary assessment of students’ mastery of the skills and concepts as specified in the expected learning outcomes will occur, with appropriate course grades assigned as follows: 630 – 700 A In-class tests (3 x 100) 300 560 – 629 B Homework (10 x 15) 150 490 – 559 C Project (1 x 50) 50 420 – 489 D Final exam (1 x 200) 200 below 420 F 700 Attendance Policy: A student who misses two consecutive weeks of class or a total of five absences will be dropped from the class with an “F.” If you miss a class, you are expected to get the assignment from a classmate or the instructor. You are also encouraged to come to my office during my office hours to catch up with the class. In a case a student sleeping in class, it is counted as an absent for the student.
