Math 116 Section 01 When: Instructor: E-mail: Hours: Phone: Spring 2012 10:00am – 10:50am Daily Where: Kerry Dennis Wu Office: [email protected] On Demand 206-934-6027 SSCC OLY 105 TBD Course: This course emphasizes applications to business, finance, management, or life & social sciences. It covers mathematical models, graphs, and exponential and logarithmic functions and includes ideas from statistics and probability. Prerequisite: MATH 098 or placement test. Text: The text for this course is Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences, 9th edition, ©2009 by Ronald J. Harshbarger, James J. Reynolds. . Calculator: You are required to have a symbolic graphing calculator for this course. If you have a question whether your calculator is sufficient, please ask. Grading: Your grade will be based on 500 points. Please see next page for details. The points will be distributed as follows: 4 Exams at 100 points each (lowest score discarded) 300 4 Homework Packets at 25 points each 100 1 Final Exam on June 13th, from 10:30am – 12:30pm 100 Total 500 points Homework: Homework will be collected, one class day after each exam. It will include all assignments given since the previous exam (or the beginning of the quarter for the first set). Homework should be organized in order, clearly labeled by section, detailed with all work clearly provided and on college ruled paper (no spiral fringe). Exams: Exams will be given after completion of Chapters 1, 3, 5 & 6. Each will be worth 100 points and the lowest score will be dropped. Everyone must take the Final Exam on June 13th at 10:30am in OLY 105. This is a comprehensive exam worth 100 points. Policies: No make-up exams or assignments will be given unless there is acceptable proof of inadvertent distraction, injury, or other problem. Answer liberation on exams and/or quizzes will be dealt with under district policy. If you need help, or have other problems, please don't hesitate to ask me for assistance.
