Course Description: Analysis I is the study of linear functions and graphs, matrices, inequalities and linear
programming, simplex algorithm, mathematics of finance, probability, sets, counting techniques, permutations,
combinations, statistics, central tendency, standard deviation, and applications in all areas.
Prerequisites: MATH 1314 with a grade of “C” or better or an appropriate score on the math section of the SAT or ACT.
Three class hours per week. Credit: Three semester hours.
Core Course: This is a Core Course in the 42-Hour Core of Blinn College. As such, the students will develop
proficiency in the appropriate Intellectual Competencies, Exemplary Educational Objectives, and Perspectives. See
www.blinn.edu/corecurriculum
Course Objectives: The student should maintain at least a 70% average on all student learning comes.
Student Learning Outcomes as defined by the Master Course Syllabus
At the completion of the course, the student will:
 be able to solve and graph linear inequalities in one and two variables and solve business problems using
linear programming methods.
 be able to solve systems of equations using Gauss-Jordan method.
 be able to identify different size matrices, perform matrix addition and subtraction, perform scalar and
matrix multiplication.
 be able to identify linear programming problems in standard form, and be able to maximize and
minimize business problems using the simplex method.
 be able to compute compound interest, annuities, sinking funds, and amortization.
 be able to identify sets, subsets, and Venn diagrams.
 be able to use tree diagrams, the multiplication principle, permutations, combinations, and fundamental
probability principles to determine probabilities.
 be able to identify sample spaces and their compliments.
 be able to find probabilities of conditional and Bayes Theorem events.
 be able to find probabilities of Bernoulli trials, binomial distribution, and normal distribution.
 be able to construct probability distributions, histograms, and find the stated probabilities.
 be able to compute the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation.
Required Material
Textbook: Lial, Hungerford, and Holcomb, Finite Mathematics with Applications, Tenth Edition,
Addison Wesley, 2011. MyMathLab will be the required software for this course.
Course Outline: See Course Requirements and Calendar for Major Assignments and Exams below.
Civility Statement: Members of the Blinn College community, which includes faculty, staff and students, are
expected to act honestly and responsibly in all aspects of campus life. Blinn College holds all members
accountable for their actions and words. Therefore, all members should commit themselves to behave in a
manner that recognizes personal respect and demonstrates concern for the personal dignity, rights, and freedoms
of every member of the College community, including respect for College property and the physical and
intellectual property of others.
Civility Notification Statement: If a student is asked to leave the class room because of uncivil behavior, the
student may not return to that class until he or she arranges a conference with the instructor: it is the student's
responsibility to arrange for this conference. (Academic Affairs)
Graphing Calculator: A graphing calculator is required in this course and I will be using the (TI – 84 or 86) in class.
Other calculators may be used; however the student is responsible for learning how to operate them. Symbolic calculators
such as the TI-89 and the TI-92 will not be allowed. The instructor reserves the right to limit the type and/or use of
specific calculators and programs on exams.
Grading Policy: Homework will be assigned throughout the course. You will need to keep two notebooks, one for notes
and one for homework. Quizzes will be given and the appropriate homework will be collected for a daily grade. Your
final grade will be based on the following percents
MathXL - 15%
Grading %s are:
Daily quizzes and homework – 15%
A 90 – 100
B 80 – 89
4 Majors – 50%
C 70 – 79
Comprehensive Final - 20%
D 60 – 69
F 0 – 59
Make-up Policy: Students are not assessed absences when representing Blinn College or observing a holy day but are
responsible for class work missed. It is the student's responsibility to meet with the instructor prior to or immediately after
any absences and make arrangements to turn in completed work before the work is returned to the class. A makeup exam
will be scheduled during the last week of the semester and will be comprehensive to take the place of a missing exam
grade or to replace the lowest grade on an exam. Twenty percent of the daily grades will be dropped at the end of the
semester.
Accommodations for Students With Disabilities:
Blinn College would like to help students with disabilities
achieve their highest potential in college. In order to receive accommodations on exams or assignments, proper
documentation must first be provided to the Office of Disability Services. This office is located on the bottom floor of the
new Administration Building in room 104 (phone # 830-4157).You must then self-identify and conference with me during
my posted office hours to begin receiving accommodations in the class.
Attendance Policy: The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student success;
therefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. Each class meeting builds the
foundation for subsequent class meetings. Without full participation and regular class attendance, students shall
find themselves at a severe disadvantage for achieving success in college. Class participation shall constitute at
least ten percent of the final course grade. It is the responsibility of each faculty member, in consultation with the division
chair, to determine how participation is achieved in his or her class. Participation in the Division of Mathematics is
measured by quizzes and homework assignments, which count at least ten percent of the of the semester grade. If a
student has the equivalent of one week’s worth of unexcused absences during the semester, s/he will be sent a
message to her/his Blinn e-mail account by the College requiring the student to contact her/his instructor and
schedule a conference immediately to discuss her/his attendance issues. Should the student accumulate the
equivalent of two weeks’ worth of unexcused absences, s/he will be administratively withdrawn from class. For
a (2 day) class students will receive the first notification via Blinn student email after (2) days of unexcused
absences and a 2nd notification via Blinn student email after (4) days of unexcused absences. If a student is
dropped from a class prior to the “Q” date, they will receive a “Q” in the class. When the student is
administratively dropped after the “Q” date, students will receive a “QF” as stated in current policy. You are
able to access your student email account in myBLINN. (New students myBLINN email address is of the form
firstname.lastname##@buc.blinn.edu, where ## is the last 2 digits of your Blinn ID)
Electronic Device Policy:
All the functions of all personal electronic devices designed for communication and/or
entertainment (cell phones, pagers, beepers, iPods, and similar devices) must be turned off and kept out of sight in all
Blinn College classrooms and associated laboratories. Any noncompliance with this policy will be addressed in
accordance with the Blinn College civility policy. Additionally, any communication understood by the instructor to be in
the nature of cheating will have consequences in accordance with this Blinn College policy section regarding academic
dishonesty. Students exempted from this policy section include, active members of firefighting organizations, emergency
medical services organizations, commissioned police officers, on-call employees of any political subdivision of the state
of Texas, or agencies of the federal government. Exempted students are expected to set the emergency-use devices on
silent or vibrate mode.
Classroom Policy: No food, drinks, or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom. Cellular telephones and
beepers/pagers must be disengaged while the student is in the Blinn College Library or any classroom/lab. Please do not
prevent others from learning by talking or interrupting.
Scholastic Dishonesty: The policy as stated in the 2012-2013 Student Handbook, will be followed.
Academic Support:

Computers, videos, and tutors are available to assist students. A student ID must be presented upon entering the Learning
Center. Rules are posted in the Learning Center and all students are expected to abide by them.
You are encouraged to go to the Learning Center, study in groups, and/or see your instructor for help outside of class.
Students that get help outside of class are more successful than those that do not.
