Summer 2014
Class meeting information: Class meets 3 times per week:
M, W, F (in JTB 130) 09:00-11:15 a.m. 06/19 - 07/30
Instructor : Vira Babenko, office LCB 306

web-page: http://www.math.utah.edu/~babenko/
Home page for our course: http://www.math.utah.edu/~babenko/html/1100-2.html
Office Hours: MWF 11:15-12:00 and of course, by appointment.
Question&Answer Sessions: I will run not only office hours but also a Questions and
Answers session as well. There we can get together for additional review, for answering
more questions and doing more examples. Note: even though it will be helpful for
everybody to attend, regardless to whether or not you have specific questions, to make
this work most efficient and helpful I strongly suggest that you bring your specific
questions to discuss. I’ll announce time and place for Q&A sessions at the beginning of
the second week of classes.
Prerequisites: "C" or better in (MATH 1050 OR MATH 1080 OR MATH 1090 OR MATH 1210) OR
Accuplacer CLM score of 80 or better OR ACT Math score of 28 or better OR SAT Math score of
630 or better.
Required Textbook: Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life and Social Sciences, 10th
Edition 1133106234, by Harshbarger & Reynolds. You can find more information about Textbook on our
class web page.
Class Notes: I will put scanned copies of my notes online. You can view them before class, or
print them and bring them to class. I may also deviate from them during class. The sole purpose
of making these notes available online is to make it easier for you to follow during class, to take
notes yourself, and to review the subject.
Course Description: In this course we will learn Differentiation, Maximization and Minimization
of Functions, Marginal Analysis and the Optimization of Constrained Functions, Integration and
their Applications. We will cover the following chapters and sections of our text book: 9.1 − 9.9,
10.1 − 10.5, 11.1 − 11.5, 12.1 − 12.4, 13.1 − 13.4, 13.7, 14.1 − 14.2.
Assignments: Homework is to be completed on WebAssign. Every week you have to complete
two assignments. First assignment is due on Wednesday 06/25/14. You have to submit your HW
no later than midnight of the day it’s due. Late submission will not be allowed. You are
welcome to work together, or get help from me or tutors at the tutoring center. However, it is
your responsibility to know how to do the problems on your own, as similar problems will
appear on tests and the final exam.
Tests: We will have 5 Tests (60 min each, and if you are late no additional time will be given).
We will have a test after each covered chapter, except for the last one. Here is tentative
schedule of them: Test 1 – Jun. 27th; Test 2 –Jul. 7th; Test 3 –Jul. 14th; Test 4 – Jul. 21st; Test 5 –
Jul. 28th. I will post solutions for tests a few days after each test.
Make ups: You should make every effort to participate in all tests. If you have to miss a test,
talk to me, before the test. If you missed a test for a legitimate (documented! documents
should be provided in person no later than 1 week after missed test!) reason, I will use the
weight of the final exam as a grade for the missed exam. Thus, if you get x percent on the final,
you will also get x percent on your missed test. You may exercise this option only ONCE a
semester and with my prior approval.
Final Exam: The final exam for this course is a COMPREHENSIVE exam
Thursday, July 31, 2014 7:30 - 9:30 am
Grading Plan: All Homework - 20 points (each set – 2 points, so 2*11=22, but I’ll drop lowest
one, so 20), 5 tests – 10 points each (50 points totally), final exam–30 points.
So, 10*2+5*10+30=100 – you can get 100 points
Grading Scale: A (93-100), A- (90-92), B+ (87-89), B(83-86), B- (80-82), C+ (77-79), C (73-76), C(70-72), D+ (67-69), D (63-66), D- (60-62), E (0-59)
Important Dates:
Last day to drop (delete) classes
Last day to add, elect CR/NC, or audit classes
Last day to withdraw from classes
Saturday, June 28
Wednesday, July 2
Friday, July 11
Tutoring Center: Free tutoring is available in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Center, located
between LCB and JWB, Room 155. The tutoring center will be open through finals and the hours
are: M-Th: 8am - 8pm, F: 8am - 4pm. The tutoring center is closed during weekends, and
University holidays. Also, the Math Center has four group study rooms that may be reserved by
groups of students from math classes. Reservations are made through office 155A in the math
center. Along the wall adjoining the math library are study desks that you can use as well.
Calculators: A basic Scientific Calculator will be sufficient for doing Homework (no graphing or cell
phone or programmable calculators). Most of the time, you will not have use of a calculator on
exam and tests. This will be discussed more in class with each test.
ADA Statement: The American with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations
be proved for students with physical, cognitive, systemic learning, and psychiatric disabilities.
The student needs to have such a disability approved by the Disability Service Office (162
UNION, 581-5020) in order to have the accommodations provided. The instructor need to be
informed about such a disability and approved accommodations at the beginning of the
semester.
Academic integrity: I will not tolerate cheating in any form. All suspected cases will
immediately result in 0 for the assignment, and will be taken to the Chair of the Department
and the Dean of Students.
Other Rules:
o Students are encouraged to attend every class and participate actively by asking questions
both in and out of class.
o If you have questions about any exam grade, or you want to appeal the grading of the
exam, you must bring it within one week of the exam. After that, no such request will be
entertained.
o Students are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is conductive
to learning. Students are to treat instructors and other students with respect. Students are
to turn all cell phones on silent and put away while in the classroom.
o Students are expected to arrive on time and stay for the whole duration of the class. Do not
leave classroom early without okaying it first with me.
This is a tentative schedule. It may be modified depending on the progress of the class.
