Course Content
We will look at problems introducing the kinds of mathematics used in measuring triangles and analyzing processes that repeat periodically. We will concentrate on Chapters 2, 3 and 4. Material from Chapters 5 and 6 will be introduced as time permits. Prerequisites for Math 113 are basic high school algebra or Math 112 including logarithms.
Schedule
9:15 am - 10:45 am, MTWRF, Academic Computer Center Room 116
Tests will be given each Friday during the second half of the class.
Grading Policy
Each test will be graded on its own scale normalized to 100%. At the end of the course the five grades will be averaged and compared to the average of the scales. Grading will reflect the mathematical correctness of the answer and the quality of the presentation in terms of completeness and organization. Active participation in the class discussions will also be factored into the evaluations. Make-up tests will be given only in special cases, when an excused absence has been prearranged. Incompletes will follow the university's policy as expressed in the student bulletins and the faculty handbook. No incomplete will be given to repeat the entire course.
