Required Text:      “College Algebra and Trigonometry with Graphing

                               Technology” by David Stevens.   Also required   is a

                              Texas Instruments TI-85 (or comparable) graphing

                              calculator.  Also recommended is “College Algebra

                              and Trigonometry with Graphing Technology

                              Students Solution Manual” also by David Stevens.

Course

Description:         Trigonometric functions of real numbers and angles,

                             their graphs and properties, functions of multiple

                             angles, identities (lots of identities), reduction form-

                             ulas, radian measure, inverse functions, solution of

                             triangles and complex numbers.

Prerequisite:        Math 103A with a grade of “C” or better, or appro-

                             priate skills demonstrated through the Math Assess-

                             ment process.  Note that satisfaction of prerequisites

                             will be validated.

Registration:        1.  You must register for this class at the Office of Admissions.

                                    2.  The last day to drop with no record is Friday, 27 April.

                                    3.  The last day to drop with a “W” grade is Friday, 1 June

                                         After 1 June you are doomed to an A thru F grade (or maybe I).

                                    4.  As a general rule, this instructor will not drop you from the

                                         class.  The student must accept responsibility for this task.

Tutoring:             Available in the Learning Assistance Center (Room G6 in the

                                    trailers).  Mon-Fri, all day, broken hours on weekends; specific

                                    hours and tutors to be announced/posted in class.  This instructor

                                    has no office and will, at periodic times, be available in the LAC  or

                                    by student request.

Learning Disabled: It is important that any personal impairment which

                             may detract from your ability to learn or pass this

                             course (hearing, eyesight, testing, etc.) be brought to

                             the attention of the instructor in order that accomo-

                             dations can be made.

SCHEDULE, HOMEWORK AND TESTS  (oh my!)

Grading:    There will be three 2-hour tests and a 2-hour final exam,

                   each one with a value of 200 points.  Homework wil also

                   count but depends upon completeness, neatness and

                   solution development.  Problems on the test may be taken

                   from the homework problems, probably those the majority

                   of the class has not deigned to attempt - which are usually

                   any even numbered problems assigned.

                   In the following, ODD:  m - n, means do the odd numbered

                   problems starting with problem number “m” and continue

                   thru problem number “n.”

                   EOO: m - n, means do every other odd numbered problem                     “m” thru “n,”  e.g., EOO 3 - 133 means Problem 3, 7, 11,

                   15, …, 133.  Of course there are a few individual problem

                   numbers added.
