Where and when is class. MWF 9:00-9:50 in Bridges 262; MWF 10:00-10:50 in Bridges 262; or 1:00-1:50 in Bridges 268.
Course Description
from the Minnesota State University Moorhead Bulletin.
Math 110 [LASC #:4 4M] Introduction to Mathematics (3)
Algebra, sets, probability, and statistics. Computational proficiency will
be assessed and mastery required. Must have successfully completed Elementary
Algebra or Intermediate Algebra or an acceptable placement score. MnTC Goal 4.
MnTC Goals.
1. Illustrate historical and
contemporary applications of mathematics/logical systems.
2. Clearly express mathematical/logical ideas in
writing.
3. Apply higher-order problem-solving and/or
modeling strategies.
Student Expectations.
Students will act in an honest and
trustworthy manner. Cheating is defined as part of the Student Code of Conduct
in the Student Handbook at
http://web.mnstate.edu/sthandbook/scc/definitions.cfm .
For every hour of in-class meeting students are
expected to work 2 or more hours on their mathematics homework and studying
outside of class.
Learning
Outcomes.
1. Demonstrate mastery of computational skills.
2. Solve application problems involving linear, quadratic, and
exponential equations.
3. Solve allocation problems dealing with variation.
4. Graphing equations and functions including linear, quadratic,
and exponential equations.
5. Solve real-life problems by using the principles of set theory.
6. Make decisions regarding the possible events that are governed
at least in part by chance.
7. Apply the basic concepts of statistics, such as collecting data;
drawing graphs; finding measures of average, variation, and position; and
solving problems using the standard normal distribution.
8. Demonstrate understanding of select concepts in algebra, set
theory, probability, and statistics by solving a real-life problem and
communicating their work to the class orally and/or in writing.
Attendance Policy.
Late work will lose 50% of its value for
each weekday beyond its due date.
No make-up quizzes or tests if prior arrangements have
not been made with your instructor.
Evaluation.
Computational Mastery Exam with four
retakes offered. (Students must pass the computational mastery exam to pass the
course.)
Daily lab or homework.
Unit exams over Algebra, Sets, Probability, and
Statistics.
Comprehensive Final Exam
Grading Scale: Grades will be assigned using lower bounds of 93 A; 90 A-; 87 B+; 83 B; 80 B-; 77 C+; 73 C; 70 C-; 67 D+; 63 D; 60 D-; and below 60% F.
GENERAL INFORMATION: It is expected that you spend at least 2–4 hours for every hour in class working assigned problems and reading the text. MSUM's standard is that one semester credit hour for undergraduates is meant to represent three hours of academic work per week for the average student who has the expected preparation for the courses that he or she is enrolled. Get help and ask for help if you have questions or problems. Note: my office hours; other hours may be arranged if there is a time conflict.
Read the text and be able to work any of the exercises. You may need to work more problems than the assigned exercises, since the assigned exercises will be just a small sample of the types of problems you need to be able to work. Each day either an assignment will be collected, or a lab will be given and collected. The schedule is a basic guide—we may at times be ahead or behind the given schedule.
Additional information is posted at my web homepage. http://web.mnstate.edu/peil. There may be supplementary worksheets assigned at various times during the semester.
If you have any questions or problems, come in for help. If my office hours do not match your schedule, see me about arranging another time to meet. Also, you may e-mail me questions. A tutor room will be available in the Math Learning Center in MacLean 278.
Calculators are not allowed to be used on exams. When used in an appropriate manner, calculators and computers are excellent tools. I want to emphasize the idea of tool, please use the appropriate tool for the appropriate task. For example: simple computations such as single digit arithmetic and estimations should be done mentally, use paper-and-pencil for basic computations, use a calculator for several digit arithmetic, and use a computer in situations involving repetitive operations such as multiplying several values by the same number. The key analogy is you would not use a pile driver or a sledge hammer to put a thumb tack into a bulletin board. Or,
I will use a teaspoon to till a flower pot,
a spade to till a flower bed,
a tiller to till a garden,
and a tractor and plow to till a field.
I will not drive a tractor and plow into my house to
till a flower pot.
Timothy Peil (1995)
No makeup exams will be given!!!—except in cases of extreme illness, family emergency, or university-approved activity, in which case exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis. For me to even consider an exception, you must notify me (not the department secretary) before the exam takes place, and provide documentation (such as a receipt from the doctor) before taking the makeup exam.
