Technical Mathematics II Learning Objectives
(wording from Applied College Algebra and Trigonometry with Calculus,

Trig Graphs
1. Identify the amplitude, period, and phase angle of a sine or cosine
trigonometric function.
2. Sketch the graph of a sine or cosine function using its amplitude,
period, and phase angle.
3. Apply the concept of amplitude, period, and phase shift to simple
harmonic motion and ac circuits.
Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle
1. Determine the sign of a trigonometric function in any of the four
quadrants.
2. Determine the reference angle for an angle whose terminal side
lies in any quadrant.
3. Find the value of the trigonometric functions for any given angle.
4. Convert angles measure in degrees to radians and vice versa.
5. Find the value of a trigonometric function given an angle measure
in radians and vice versa.
6. Apply radian measure to finding the length of a circular arc, the
area of a circular sector, and angular and linear velocity.
Complex Numbers
1. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide imaginary numbers.
2. Simplify powers of the imaginary number j.
3. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers in a
rectangular form.
4. Convert complex numbers among rectangular, polar, and
exponential forms.
5. Use polar and exponential forms to find the product, quotient,
power, and roots of complex numbers.
6. Apply the concept of complex numbers to ac circuits.
Statistics
1. Organize data into a frequency distribution and give a graphical
representation using a histogram or a frequency polygon.
2. Calculate the arithmetic mean, median, and mode from empirical
data.
3. Calculate the range and standard deviation from empirical data.
4. Use the mean and standard deviation to calculate the variation of
data values that should fall within one or two standard deviations
of the mean.
5. Use the least squares method to fit empirical data to an equation.

Assessment of
Student Learning:
Student learning will be assessed via exams, homework, and class room
participation.
Late Work/Make-up
Test Policy:
All work is due on its due date and will receive a zero otherwise.
Late work may be accepted at the discretion of the instructor in
extremely rare circumstances.
Class Attendance
Policy and College
Sponsored Activities:
As stated in the Student handbook: In compliance with Public Law 105244, Kirkwood Community College makes a wide variety of general
institutional information available to students.

Learning
Environment
Expectations:
1. Arrival at class by the start of class
2. Performing in class problems (clicker questions).
3. Answering questions.
4. Helping lab partner or other lab groups.
5. Helping other classmates.
Americans with
Disabilities Act:
Students with disabilities who need accommodations to achieve course
objectives should file an accommodation application with Learning
Services, Cedar Hall 2063 and provide a written plan of accommodation
to your instructor prior to the accommodation being provided.
Student Evaluation:
For any given unit exam, you can chose to go with Option #1 or
Option #2
Option #1:
Unit Exams - Exams will be given after every chapter totaling 75% of
your final grade. Missed exams must be made up on or before the next
class period. In a rare situation where the exam can not be made up in
that time period, the student will need to make up the exam during the
final exam week and this exam will be different than that taken by the
rest of the class.
Option #2:
Unit Exams - Exams will be given after every chapter totaling 50% of
your final grade. Missed exams must be made up on or before the next
class period. In a rare situation where the exam can not be made up in
that time period, the student will need to make up the exam during the
final exam week and this exam will be different than that taken by the
rest of the class.
Homework - Homework will be assigned on a daily basis.
Homework will be worth 25% of your final grade. Homework
assignments can be found at
http://faculty.kirkwood.edu/site/index.php?p=18799 . Homework
will be due the day of the exam.
For Both Options:
Final Exam - The final exam will be worth 20% of your final grade.
Class Room Participation and Professional Conduct - 5% of your final
grade
Points will be added to classroom participation and professional conduct
grade based on the following:
1. Answering clicker questions.
Points will be deducted from the classroom participation and
professional conduct grade for the following:
1. Inappropriate language or jokes.
2. Ringing of cell phones in class.
3. Disrupting the class.
After earning the Associates of Applied Science in Electronics
Engineering Technology at Kirkwood Community College, you may be
working with people from substantially different backgrounds than your
own. Since the Electronics Engineering Technology program is a career
tech program, respect for differences in the workplace will be a skill that
will be fostered in this program. You will be expected to show respect
for those from different nationalities, religions, gender, sexual
orientations, and learning abilities. This respect is expected during class,
between class, and after class. In other words, anytime you are in Jones
Hall or its vicinity (i.e. - parking lot, sidewalks, etc.). These are the same
expectations that some area employers have. Your classroom
participation grade will be negatively impacted by 10% (one letter
grade) for each violation of this policy.
How final grades are
determined:
