Foundations of Applied Calculus (Winter Quarter of 2007)

15-MATH-224-001

Class Hours: 8:00-9:15 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Room 325 of Braunstein Hall

Textbook: Connally, Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, “Functions Modeling Change,”

Wiley, special printing, 2007.

Teacher: Roger Chalkley

Teacher’s Office: 822A Old Chemistry Bldg., Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30-11:00 a.m.

Important Advice from the Department of Mathematical Sciences

(from this point onward)

Welcome to Math 224, Foundations of Applied Calculus. This course is a review of the algebraic skills necessary to succeed in calculus. Among the topics covered will be functions, exponents, logarithms, linear equations and linear inequalities.

Resources:

Assistance is available in the Mathematics Learning Center in 614 Old Chemistry. The center is open from MTWH 9am-8pm, F 9am-4pm and Saturday 12pm-4pm. It is a pleasant place to study and 1-3 math tutors are available to help with any problems you encounter. Check out the website at http://www.math.uc.edu/mathlearningcenter/index.html
Your teacher will use the software program called Blackboard to post your special homework assignments that will be collected and graded. Blackboard will also be used for special announcements as well as for a record of your scores on examinations and homework.

General Expectations:

Class attendance is required and class participation is appreciated. Don’t hesitate to interrupt to ask questions or make comments!
To fully understand and appreciate mathematical concepts it is necessary to study these concepts and work problems. You should plan on spending 5 to 10 hours per week on the homework assignments and in reading and understanding the text. Special homework assignments will be made and collected about one week later for grading. Late homework will not be accepted.

Your grade is based on:

(1) two 50-minute exams given during the quarter,

(2) the 2-hour final examination, and

(3) the special homework assignments.

Homework = 10%

2 Examinations 25% x 2 = 50%

Final Exam = 40%

Blackboard will be used for announcements if there is a serious need for flexibility in the SYLLABUS. (For instance, there have occasionally been snow emergencies and the need for a campus-wide cancellation of classes.)

MISSED CLASSES/TESTS/ASSIGNMENTS

You are responsible for everything that happens in class. This includes material covered as well as any announcements. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to check with someone else in the class to find out what you missed.

If you miss an assignment or exam, it is entirely at the discretion of the Professor whether this is to be handled in any way other than just giving it a zero. What constitutes a “legitimate” excuse is determined solely by the Professor. In general, failure to contact the Professor at the earliest possible opportunity is cause for rejecting any excuse, no matter how legitimate (e.g., before leaving town if you are called away unexpectedly). You will be expected to supply evidence that supports your excuse. Even for a legitimate excuse reported in a timely manner, the student should not expect to be allowed to make up the missed work.
Consequently, even for those excuses the instructor deems legitimate, the only remedies may be to weight the final more heavily (for a missed midterm) or to give an incomplete (for a missed final).

CALCULATORS

You need a graphing calculator for this course. We will use them in lectures, quizzes, and exams. We strongly suggest the use of a TI-83. If you already have a graphing calculator, do not purchase another one.

GENERAL EDUCATION

This course was designed following the guidelines of the University of Cincinnati General Education Program. It satisfies, or partially satisfies the Quantitative Reasoning distribution requirement.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

The University Rules, including the Code of Conduct, and other documented policies of the department, college, and university related to academic integrity will be enforced. Any violation of these regulations, including acts of plagiarism or cheating, will be dealt with on an individual basis according to the severity of the misconduct.

SPECIAL NEEDS POLICY

Students with special needs should meet with the instructors as soon as possible to arrange for reasonable provisions to ensure an equitable opportunity to meet all the requirements of this course. At the discretion of the instructor, some accommodations may require prior approval by Disability Services
