Syllabus for Mathematics 103 Fall Semester 2008 Textbook Algebra Trigonometry 8th Edition by Sullivan Calculator A graphing calculator is REQUIRED We recommend the TI 84 Note that your instructor will be using a TI 84 or a TI 86 Prerequisites One year geometry two years algebra and a qualifying score on the UNL Math Placement Exam dated after October 2007 Students with a previous UNL math course need permission from the Department of Mathematics before registering for this course The Department of Mathematics will automatically drop any students who do not satisfy this policy see Math Placement Policy in the Mathematics section of the Schedule of Classes Note You cannot earn credit for both Math 103 and either Math 101 or Math 102 Math Placement Exam Dates A picture ID will be required and calculators are allowed at the exam EXCEPT calculators which have symbolic manipulation functions such as the TI 89 and TI 92 August 25th Monday August 29th Friday 9 00A M 4 00P M 127

Math 103 I Students should be proficient in using different representations for functions symbolic numeric graphic and verbal and in employing two or more simultaneously to investigate a function s characteristics II Students should be proficient in using standard functions polynomial exponential logarithmic trigonometric and inverse trigonometric and understand their periodic and asymptotic behaviors III Students should be proficient in investigating graphs of functions and to confirm algebraic and numeric calculations IV Students should be able to communicate mathematics They should be able to carry out the direction Explain your answer by using mathematical concepts in complete sentences using correct grammar V Students should be able to learn both individually and in small groups VI The course should balance the acquirement of skills and the acquirement of understanding Date Content Sec Pg Exercises 8 25 M Linear Equations 1 1 86 1 3 7 15 odd 19 25 31 37 43 49 55 61 89 8 26 8
