Text: Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences, Seventh
Edition, R. Harshbarger, J. Reynolds
Course Website: http://www.math.utah.edu/∼woodbury/teaching/Math1100
Course Description/Prerequisites: Calculus is an extremely powerful tool used by scientists, engineers, economists and others. In this course we will begin to understand the
basic components of calculus: the derivative and the integral, and how these operations are
applied in real–world situations. It is assumed that the student has taken Math 1090 and
understands that material: graphing functions, the exponential and logarithmic functions.
Homework: Homework will be assigned in class, and will be posted on the course webpage.
The purpose of the homework is to give the student the opportunity to work problems and
become proficient in the methods and techniques we will be learning. It is highly recommended that each student complete all of the homework assignments because the quizzes
will be based directly on that material. However, I do not intend to collect homework.
Exam Policies: Seven (7) quizzes will be given throughout the semester. These quizzes
should determine whether or not the student has completed and understood the homework.
Additionally, we will have three (3) midterm exams and a comprehensive final. Since the
concepts we will be discussing build on each other, it is important for the student to stay
current on the material and complete the homework assignments as they are given.
Grading: Grades will be determined according to performance on quizzes (35%), midterms
(40%) and the final (25%). The two lowest quiz scores will be dropped as well as the lowest
midterm. Since some of your scores will not count towards your final grade, no makeup
quizzes or midterms will be given.
Valuable Resources: Many of you may think that the book is only useful for the worked
out examples it has, and for the problems assigned as homework. (Maybe you bought it
just for the answers in the back.) However, you will find that actually reading the chapters
before we go over them in class will be extremely beneficial. I hope to be another valuable
resource. Please come see me in my office. If the scheduled times will not work for you we
can make an appointment for an appropriate time. Finally, the mathematics department
offers free tutoring in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Center between JWB and LCB
on presidents’ circle. Tutors will be there 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday–Thursday, and 8:00
AM to 6:00 PM Friday. See http://www.math.utah.edu/ugrad/mathcenter.html for more
info.
Withdrawal: The final day to drop the class (to aviod “W” on your transcript and having to pay tuition) is Friday, September 3, 2004. The last day to elect the CR/NC option
is Tuesday, September 7, 2004. Your final chance to withdraw from the class is Friday,
September 24, 2004.
ADA Statement: The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs,
services and activities for people with disabilities. If you need accomodations in this class,
reasonable prior notice needs to be given to me and to the Center for Disabled Student
Services, 581–5020 (Voice or TDD) to make arrangements for accomodations.
