PURPOSE: Students will learn methods for solving problems in managerial, social and life sciences including linear programming, probability methods and models, matrices, and mathematical finance.

PREREQUISITE: Two years of high school algebra and a mathematics Enhanced ACT score of 25 or greater, or MATH 1710.  If you have not met these prerequisites, please let me know immediately.

TEXT: Finite Mathematics - An Applied Approach (9th. ed.) by Mizrahi and Sullivan, published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (2004).   Note:  We will cover Chapters 1-8.

TOOLS: Always bring a calculator to class. A TI 83 or TI 84 will be particularly helpful.  You will need a PC disk when we use MS Excel.

GRADING: The course grade will be based on the student’s performance on the following:

Quizzes (4 @ 25 points each)                                  100 points
Tests (3 @ 100 points each)                                    300 points
Final Exam (comprehensive)                                    100 points
                                                               Total      500 points

Final Grade Structure:
A - 450 - 500 points
B - 400 - 449 points
C - 350 - 399 points
D - 300 - 349 points
F - 299 - 0
 

 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: Class attendance, preparation, and participation are required. Learning mathematics is not a spectator sport.  Students having difficulties should seek assistance from the instructor and the math lab. Students are encouraged to work together on problems that will not be graded. Students are expected to be honest and ethical at all times. Students with disabilities that may require assistance or accommodations should let me know as soon as possible. Students may also contact the Office of Disabled Student Services (898-2783) with questions about such services.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance is expected. Attendance at tests is required. The exam dates given will not change. The only exception is if MTSU is closed (i.e. snow), then the test will be rescheduled for the next scheduled class meeting. No make-up exams are given. An unexcused absence on an exam results in a grade of zero for that exam. If you miss an exam, you must contact the instructor immediately (prior to the exam is even better) to determine whether the absence is excused. If you have an excused absence, then one missed exam grade will be replaced by the final exam (which is comprehensive). (If you know of a conflict with a test date, contact the instructor immediately.)  Quizzes cannot be made up.  Quiz content/Test content will only be announced in class.   Do not expect them to be updated on the webpage. 

HOMEWORK: Promptly completing homework is a crucial part of a successful experience in this class. Homework is for your benefit. Homework is assigned for every class and includes both material to be read and problems to be worked. The assignment should be completed prior to the next class period. This daily homework is not to be handed in.

Financial Aid/Lottery:  To retain Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship eligibility, you must earn a cumulative TELS GPA of 2.75 after 24 attempted hours and a cumulative TELS GPA of 3.0 thereafter.  A grade of C, D, F, or I in this class may negatively impact TELS eligibility.  Dropping a class after 14 days may also impact eligibility; if you withdraw from this class and it
results in an enrollment status of less than full time, you may lose eligibility for your lottery scholarship.

ADA Statement:  If you have a disability that may require assistance of accommodations, or if you have any questions related to any accommodation for testing, note taking, reading, etc., please speak with me as soon as possible.  You may also contact the Office of Disabled Student Services (898-2783) with any questions about such services.
 

Daily Homework 

These problems are for your own benefit.  They are not to be turned in.  If you have questions about them you may work with your classmates, ask me for assistance, and/or ask some questions during class.  (We will not have time to answer all the questions in class.)  Please use this sheet to mark off the problems that you have successfully completed, those we have worked in class, and those you have questions about.

Answers to many of the odd numbered problems are in the back of the book.  Please check your answers for accuracy.  An * indicates that I like the problem enough to point that out to you.
