 Course Description :
This course provides applications of mathematics and includes selected topics from consumer math and algebra. Some types included are integers, percent, interest, ratio and proportion, metrics system, probability, linear equations, and problem-solving. this is a terminal course designed for students seeking an AAS degree or Certificate and is not intended to transfer, and does not meet the general core requirements for mathematics.
Course Meeting Times :
 Twice a week under appointment

Pre-requisite :
 Intermediate Algebra


 Course Recommended Text :
 Introductory Mathematical Analysis, 12th Edition, by Haeussler, Paul, and Wood
Calculators :
 The only calculators allowed for use during the term tests and final exam are TI-30X, TI-30XIIB, or TI-30XIIS

Grading Policy :
 There will be two-term tests, held during the regular lecture times. Each term test will be 2 hours.
 There will be no make-up tests. The instructor will adjust the marking scheme properly for students who have missed a test because of illness or any other (approved) legitimate reason.
 The final exam of the course will take place during the examination period in August, and will be 2 hours long. It will cover all of the material presented in lectures, tutorials, and problem sets.
 Learner final grade will be computed in the following way:
 20% Problem Sets + 20% 1st Term Test + 20% 2nd Term Test + 40% Final Exam

 Problem Sets :
 There will be Nine Problem sets, due almost every week. Problem sets will be posted on the website at least a week before the due date. You are encouraged to work on questions from the assignment with your fellow students. However, the writing of your assignment must be done without anybody's assistance.
 Your Problem set mark will be determined by eliminating the worst problem set (provided that you handed in all of them), and computing the average mark of the remaining problem sets.

 Notes :
 Homework problems and other important material will be posted on the web-course, so you should check it regularly. The learner will also be able to see your marks for the problem sets and the term tests online. Some important information may be sent by email, so you should also check your email regularly.
 The learner should become familiar with and are expected to adhere to the Code of Behavior on Academic Matters.
