I. Course Structure:
Catalog Description: Applications of mathematics/quantitative methods to agribusiness, life
sciences, human resources: equations, graphs, limits, continuity,
derivatives, partials, integrals. Pre: two years of high school algebra and
one year of geometry or equivalent.
A. Course Objective(s):
The general objective of this course is to expose the student to the principles of basic calculus
and to apply these principles and techniques to a variety of problems.
To demonstrate successful achievement of this objective, the student should show competence
through exams and quizzes.
B. Symbolic Reasoning:
This course will expose students to the beauty and power of formal systems, as well as to their
clarity and precision. NREM 203 will not solely focus on computational skills. Students
2
should understand the concept of proof as a chain of inferences. They should be able to apply
formal rules or algorithms. They should also be able to engage in hypothetical reasoning. In
addition, this course aims to develop the ability of students to use appropriate symbolic
techniques in the context of problem solving and in the presentation and critical evaluation of
evidence.
C. Organization:
1. Class meetings are primarily lecture oriented. However, questions and discussions are
encouraged.
2. Reading assignments will be given in class.
3. Homework problems will be given weekly. These problems are for practice.
4. Quizzes will be given periodically.
5. Exams: There will be three written examinations (two mid-term exams and a final exam).
6. Final course grades will be based on this approximate point distribution:
a. Final exam
100 points
b. Mid-term exams (2)
200 points
c. Quizzes (6)
50 points
________
TOTAL
350 points
Letter grades will be assigned on the plus/minus grading system.
7. 20 possible bonus points: 6 quizzes worth 70 points will be given.
8. Rules for taking exams/quizzes:
Show student picture identification (e.g., driver’s license, student card, etc.)
Bring your own calculator. No sharing of calculators and no cell phone calculators.

9. Rules for grading:
a. No make-up exams or quizzes are given, except for a legitimate excuse with proper
validation, e.g., a doctor’s certificate for serious illness or incapacity. If you have a
legitimate excuse, you have 24 hours after the exam or quiz is given to contact the
instructor and inform him that you missed the exam or quiz. You should follow this
procedure:
• Contact professor by phone or by e-mail or both. If he is not in, leave a
message on his telephone recorder. Your message should include the
following information:
-your name and lab section
-reason for missing exam or quiz
-phone number and e-mail address where you can be reached
Failure to follow this procedure or not have proper validation will disqualify student
from taking make-up exam or quiz.
Missing the make-up quiz or exam will yield a score equal to zero (for the quiz or
exam).
Take quiz only in registered lab section (unless quiz is given in lecture session).
Do not take quiz in another lab section. Contact professor if unable to take quiz
in registered lab section.
b. Course grading procedures will adhere to University of Hawaii guidelines. See spring
course schedule for deadlines for drop/add procedures. Also see the University catalog for
information on the grading system and the consequences of academic dishonesty such as
cheating and plagiarism.
