Define business terms Use algebraic skills to solve business, economic, and social science problems Solve finance problems Find the limit of functions Find derivatives of functions and express their answers in simplest factored form Use derivatives to solve problems in business, economic, and social sciences Use concepts of derivatives (as well as domain, intercepts, asymptotes, etc.) to graph functions Use derivatives to solve optimization problems Find antiderivatives of functions Use the techniques of integration to solve basic area problems, as well as problems in business, economics and social science Academic Conduct: As testament to their commitment and readiness to join the Santa Monica College academic community, all students are expected to uphold the Honor Code. Cheating of any kind during exams or quizzes will result in severe consequences such as receiving a failing grade or being dropped from the course as well as being reported as academically dishonest. Cheating includes altering graded materials and using external resources or copying someone else’s homework and out-of-class assignments to complete own exam, project, or homework assignments. Cell phones are a huge source of distraction in the classroom for you and for the others. They must be deactivated while class is in session. This means no sounds or vibrations may occur from an incoming text message or a phone call. A pop quiz will be issued to the entire class if anyone is caught texting or if a cell phone belonging to any student is activated while class is in session. Anyone who uses a cell phone or any other unapproved electronic devices during an exam or quiz will receive a failing grade for that exam or quiz. Deadlines: It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of withdrawal dates and to take the appropriate actions. To drop and be eligible for a REFUND of enrollment fees is Thursday, 06/23/11 To drop and avoid a “W” is Monday, 06/27/11 To drop and receive a GUARANTEED “W” is Sunday, 07/10/11 No further transaction allowed after 07/20/2011 Calculators: You are required to have scientific for certain exams and assignments. Software and Internet Access: All students are required to have internet access for this course. Microsoft Excel will be used to complete some assignments. Students are able to have access to internet and Microsoft Excel via campus computers. Open Office is an open resource that can be downloaded for free from www.openoffice.org and may be used instead of Microsoft Office. Attendance is highly suggested. Each absence is highly likely to have a negative impact on your performance. Four or more absences will result in an automatic exclusion from or a failing grade in the course. You are expected to be punctual to every session. If you miss a session, make sure you update yourself on the material that you have missed. Methods of Evaluation A) Exams: There will three exams, which are based on homework assignments, class lectures, and discussions. Exams are closed note and closed book. You must have your own tools such as a ruler and a calculator during exams. The lowest exam score will be replaced by final exam score if your final exam score exceeds the minimum exam score. B) Project Assignments will be issued on financial mathematics. For the most part, online instructions and Microsoft Excel or Open Office will be used to complete this project. C) Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative. In order to get a satisfactory grade on the final exam you should frequently review the materials that have been covered previously. Failing to take the final exam will result in a failing grade. D) Homework Assignments and Quizzes: Assignments will be collected on the Friday of each week OR on announced due dates. A few randomly selected problems from each set will be graded. Write your name on every page and be neat. Late homework and assignments that are not stapled will not be accepted.
