Ziegler and Karl E. Byleen Bring your textbook to class CALCULATOR: TI – 83, TI – 83 Plus or TI – 84 Plus calculator is required. EXAMS: There will be four one-hour examinations. Tentative dates for the exams: EXAM TOPIC Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Exam4 A-1 to A-7,Ch1, 2-1,2-2 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 4-1,Ch5 Chapters 3 Chapters 7, 8, 11 DATE February 22, 2011 March 15, 2011 April 6, 2011 May 11, 2011 Make-up exams will not be given except when the student has a valid reason for the absence. QUIZZES: There will be quizzes throughout the semester. Some of these will be take – home quizzes. There will be NO make-ups on quizzes. No extra-credit work will be given! HOMEWORK: Problems from the text will be assigned each day. While the solutions to assigned problems will not be collected, you should do the problems in order to learn the proper application of the techniques and concepts covered in the text. If you want me to do any of these problems, write the number/s on the board so that I can do it before I start the next section. GRADING POINTS: Exams 1 - 4 [100 points each] ; total for exams = 400 points Quizzes [10 points each]; total for quizzes= 100 points Total = 500 ponts While attendance is not required, it is important that you attend class and take part in class activities. I have observed that students who attend classes regularly and take part in class activities get good grades, while those with poor attendance get poor grades. Total 450 - 500 415 - 449 390 - 414 372 - 389 Grade A AB+ B Total 350 – 371 330 – 349 300 – 329 298 - 299 Divide each entry by 5 to obtain the corresponding percentages. CELL PHONES: Grade BC+ C C- Total 280 - 297 265 - 279 250 - 264 0 - 249 Grade D+ D DF All cellular phones, pagers and other electronic equipment should be turned off and put away during class period GENERAL GOALS AND OBJECIVE FOR THE COURSE: Identify the basic graphs and properties of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Apply the knowledge of functions to business applications such as simple, compound or continuous compound interest, ordinary annuities, finding the maximum or minimum for quantities which are quadratic functions, and finding break even points. Use geometric method to solve linear programming problems. Interpret information as an objective function with constraints, set up the linear programming problem, solve the problem and interpret the result in the context of the problem. Use basic counting techniques and calculate probabilities, including conditional probabilities. Apply the mathematical knowledge of probability to business problems and interpret the results. Represent data with graphical and numerical summaries. Calculate probabilities for binomial and normal distributions. Apply the statistical skills to problems in various business settings and interpret the results. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The first course in mathematics for business students is divided into five parts: Functions, Mathematics of Finance, Systems of Linear Equations and Matrices, Linear Programming, Probability and Statistics. The course will cover most of the material in Chapters 1-8 of the text. The course will cover the following topics. Basic Algebra Review Functions: Linear, quadratic, rational, exponential and logarithmic function. Transformation of functions and graphing. Mathematics of Finance: Simple and compound interest, future value and present value of annuities, sinking funds, and amortization. Systems of Linear Equations: Solution of systems of linear equations by graphing, substitution, elimination by addition. Linear Programming: Systems of linear inequalities in two variables, geometric approach to solving linear programming problems in two variables. Probability and Statistics: Operations on sets, counting techniques including permutations and combination, basic properties of probability, conditional probability, Bayes’ rule, random variables and expected values. Graphical description and numerical summaries of data. Binomial distribution and normal distribution.
