MATH 101
COURSE SYLLABUS
(2011-2012, Spring Semester)
MATH 101 INTRODUCTION TO CALCULUS I ……… (3-0) 3
Instructors: Ümit Aksoy
Catalog Data: Basic algebra, Graphs, Functions and Their Graphs, Equations and
Inequalities, Polynomials and Rational Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic
Functions, System of Equations, Matrices, Determinants.
Textbook: Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the
Life and Social Sciences by E. F. Haeussler, Jr Richard S. Paul and Richard J.
Wood, Pearson Prentice Hall, 12th edition..
Reference(s):
Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities, Second edition, Michael Sullivan and
Michael Sullivan, Prentice Hall, 1996.
Prerequisite: None
Goals and Objectives: The aim of this course is to introduce and motivate the ideas
of mathematical analysis for business, economics and social sciences in an intuitive
and intellectually satisfying way. Different techniques of problem solving are
illustrated with a variety of examples that highlight the direct application of
mathematical analysis to the economical, social and managerial sciences.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is an essential requirement of this course. Any
student should attend more than %80 lecture hours: If you do attend less than %80
of the lecture hours up to an exam (midterm or final examination) then you can
not take this exam (midterm or final examination) and you will get an NA grade.
Grading Policy: There will be two midterms and one final examination.
Midterm I:
30%
Midterm II:
30%
Final:
40%
______________________________________
TOTAL
100%
Make-up: Make-up exams will be given only if the proper documentation from
Faculty Administrative Committee Decision for the absence is received. You must
submit the medical report for the absence to your department in three days after the
last day of the report. Otherwise, it will not be accepted. Make-up exams for
Midterms and Final examination will be announced on the course web page.
