Textbook: Mathematics, A Practical
Odyssey. 4th Ed. By Johnson/ Mowry A
copy of The Student Manual to Mathematics, A Practical Odyssey, 4th
ed. By Johnson/Mowry is in the
Gateway Math Center, the Disability Resource Center, and in the Library. Course
Description: This course provides a
survey of a variety of branches of mathematics including inductive and deductive
reasoning, business and finance math, an introduction to trigonometric
functions, exponential growth and decay, probability and statistics.
An emphasis will be placed on overcoming the fear of mathematics and
seeing the use of mathematics in the "real world". Prerequisite:
A grade "C" or better in Math 154, or equivalent, or
appropriate skills demonstrated through the Math assessment process. Calculators:
You will need a calculator for this course.
On the first day of class, I will advise you which calculator will be
sufficient for this class. No graphing
calculators are allowed during exams or quizzes. In
this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid an
unwanted grade. You
must go to Admissions & Records. Friday, May 2, 2003
is the last day to drop with no record. Friday, June 6, 2003
is the last day to withdraw with a
W grade. Students
with disabilities must identify themselves to me within the first two weeks of
class. Accommodations for Students
with Disabilities: Students requiring
accommodations for a certain disability that may affect class performance are
requested to schedule with a staff member at the DRC to discuss this during
the first week of the quarter so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
* Course materials available in alternate format.
Grading: Your
class letter grade will be based on the usual grading scale: A:
90% and above, B:
80-89%, C:
70-79%,
D: 60-69%, F: 59%

points Total
700 points Homework:
I have given practice problems for each section. These exercises are for you to improve your understanding of
the material and to prepare you for quizzes and exams. Do these problems after each of their lectures.
They are to be turned in on the
day of the Exam covering those sections.
The Even-numbered problems and
their due dates are on the last page of the syllabus. These are due on Wednesdays.
These problems are considered late if they are not turned in by 6:00 PM
in the box outside my office. If you will be absent, either turn in the homework
assignment early or have someone turn in the homework assignment for you.
Homework that is late, but turned in by the next class meeting receives half
credit. Homework turned in after this receives no credit. Please come
see me if you do not understand my policies! Quizzes:
There are no make-up quizzes.
I give 4 quizzes but only 3 are counted so you may drop your lowest quiz. Midterm
Exams:
Exams are given at the beginning of class. A
lecture follows the exam. Please be
on time. You must notify me before
an exam if you will miss the exam (541-4660 EXT 368).
Exams must be made up within 3 school days after the scheduled
date, with a penalty of 10% (except with written doctors excuse.
Finals not included.) You may take
an exam up to 3 school days before the scheduled date without penalty.
Arrangements must be made with me
in advance. Comprehensive
Final Exam: The comprehensive final exam is divided into two parts: 1) The take-home portion of the final exam is worth 30 points. It will be
handed out one week before the in-class final exam and is due the day of the
final. 2) The in-class portion of the comprehensive final exam is worth 150
points. Tentative Schedule Math 102 Date
