MATH 113 SYLLABUS - Stars

MATH 113 SYLLABUSFALL 2003COURSE TITLE: Precalculus Trigonometry CREDIT: 3 HRS PREREQUISITES: MA 112 (a grade of C- or higher in MA 112)TEXT: Precalculus AUTHOR: Robert Blitzer PUBLISHER: Prentice HallDESCRIPTION: This course is a continuation of Math 112. It includes the study of trigonometric and inverse trigonometricfunctions, and includes extensive work with trigonometric identities and trigonometric equations. The course also covers vectors,complex numbers, DeMoivre’s Theorem, polar coordinates and other topics in algebra such as solutions of conic sections, sequences,and series.COURSE OBJECTIVE: Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: work with angles using both radian and degreemeasure, recognize and use trigonometric functions and their inverses in applications involving right triangles and oblique triangles,recognize and use trigonometric functions in a circular setting, graph the trigonometric functions in the x-y plane including changes inamplitude, period, and phase shift, verify identities, solve equations involving trigonometric functions, work with the sum anddifference formulas, multiple angle and half-angle formulas, perform vector operations (including dot products) and use vectors inapplications, work with complex numbers in trigonometric form, use DeMoivre’s Theorem, graph trigonometric functions in polarform, recognize and graph conic sections and identify their pertinent components, and work with arithmetic and geometric sequencesand series.CALCULATOR: A scientific calculator is needed for some exercises, and may be used on all quizzes, tests, and the final exam.Sharing of calculators is not allowed .TEST DATES:Test 1 Tuesday September 16 6:30 - 7:50 pmTest 2 Tuesday October 7 6:30 - 7:50 pmTest 3 Tuesday October 28 6:30 - 7:50 pmTest 4 Tuesday November 25 6:30 - 7:50 pmFinal Exam Tuesday December 9 3:30 - 6:00 pmLocation will be announced in classATTENTION: All examinations for Math 113 will be given at the times scheduled above. Students must arrange their schedules sothat nothing (including travel plans) conflicts with any examination date. There will be no exceptions.TEST MATERIAL: Exam questions will be taken from the sections indicated on this syllabus and will be similar to the assignedexercises. The assigned exercises cover all material that will appear on the tests.MAKE-UP POLICY: Students who miss tests because of official university functions (not practice or rehearsals) may take a makeuptest if arrangements are made through the instructor prior to the test. Students who miss a test because of serious, verifiable illnessor emergency may take a make-up test if arrangements are made through the instructor within 2 days of the test. Excuses must bepresented to the instructor in either case. Students will receive a grade of zero for any missed test or final exam if arrangement is notmadeCOURSE GRADES: This course is under the “A,B,C,NC” policy; + / − grades will be given. There will be a minimum of 13 shortquizzes counting 10 points each given in class. The four tests and the total quiz grade will count 70% of the course grade. Thecomprehensive final exam will count 30% of the course grade.ATTENDANCE: Class attendance is mandatory. Students with no more unexcused absences than the usual number of class meetingsper week will have the option of replacing their lowest test score (not quiz average) with their final exam score, except for a zero gradeon a test due to unexcused absence or academic misconduct. To petition for an excused absence, students must submit to theirinstructor verifiable evidence to justify the absence(s) immediately upon returning to class.NOTE: The last day to drop without a grade determination is August 27, 2003. After this date students who wish to withdraw willreceive a grade of NC; WP / WF is not an option.DISABILITY SERVICES: FOR ANY STUDENTS WISHING TO REQUEST DIABILTY ACCOMMODATIONS
