Course Description: Applications of college-level mathematics to real-life situations. In this course we will discuss applications of mathematics with respect to (but not limited to) Logic, Sets and Counting, Probability, Statistics, Finance and Geometry. This course satisfies a student’s general studies (MA) requirement for graduation.

Homework, Projects & Quizzes:

Daily Homework will be collected and graded throughout the course. Students are encouraged to work together on homework, but each individual student is required to write-up and turn in their own work.
Daily Quizzes are given. They are performed collaboratively and will reflect material that has recently been discussed in class. No make-up quizzes will be given.

Final Exam: Friday, July 29th, 2005 in the classroom during class time hours. There will be no make ups given for the final, and no finals will be rescheduled for personal reasons, including nonrefundable airplane tickets.

Grade Allocation:
A: 90% - 100%
B: 80% - 89%
C: 70% - 79%
D: 60% - 69%

First-Year Mathematics Courses

Departmental and University Policies and Procedures

Honor Policy: The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may result in suspension or expulsion from the University or other sanctions as specified in the University Student Academic Integrity Policy. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating, fabrication, tampering, plagiarism or facilitating such activities.

Ethics: It's highly unethical to bring to your instructor's attention the possible impact of your mathematics grade on your future plans, including graduation, scholarships, jobs, etc ... . The instructor may exercise an option to withdraw you from the course if they think you are compromising the ability to assess your work independently of any other consideration. Students found to be involved in academic dishonesty will be removed from the class and a grade of "E" for the course will be submitted to the registrar. The student will be advised to repeat the course with another professor, possibly at another institution. This is the least action taken. Further, more serious actions may be taken if the situation indicated that such actions are appropriate. We will act very harshly against cheating during Quizzes or Exams.
