Calculator: Students need either a scientific or business calculator. (Has log or ln key.) If a student cannot purchase one, calculators are available from the library. Graphing calculators are NOT required, but you will use graphing technology in some sections of the book.

Course Purpose: This course is designed to teach students the functional approach to mathematical relationships that they will need for the business calculus sequence. For students who did not take, or were weak in, Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390), College Algebra is a good preparation for Trigonometry (MATH 1316). Other courses, such as MATH 1332, or MATH 1342 are more appropriate to meet a general mathematics requirement, if calculus is not required. Check with your

degree plan as to what math course your college requires.

Course Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) or current knowledge of high school algebra as measured by the Assessment Test. The sections marked (*) in the syllabus/calendar cover material from the prerequisite course. All the techniques and at least 80% of the problems in them should be review. The rest of the problems use familiar techniques in more sophisticated ways than before. Students who have a great deal of difficulty with the material in chapters P and 1 and have not had Intermediate Algebra or its equivalent recently should consider withdrawing and taking Intermediate Algebra.

Videotapes: There is a set of videotapes keyed to the text by section in the Learning Resource Center of each campus. Students who miss class or who need extra review may find these useful.

Testing, Grading, and Homework: The testing scheme given with the syllabus and calendar is only one possible scheme. Your instructor may use a different one. Your instructor will give you an additional handout with details about testing, grading, and homework for your section of this course.

Withdrawals and Incompletes: After the withdrawal date each semester, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences (4) or failure to meet course objectives but makes no commitment to do this for the student. Attendance is important in this course and expected. Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I, a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and have a personal tragedy occur after the last date to withdraw which prevents course completion.
