COURSE TITLE AND NUMBER: CLASS DAYS & TIME:

MATH 1613 College Trigonometry M W F 9:00- 9:50 a.m.

Tu Th 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m.

PREREQUISITES:

MATH 1513 or equivalent

CATALOG DESCRIPTION OF COURSE AND PURPOSE:

Trigonometric functions, equations, and identities; solutions of triangles; trigonometric representation of the complex numbers, as well as other selected topics.

This course provides the mathematical development of the concept of trigonometric functions and examines the basic trigonometric functions ( linear, quadratic, inverse). The course also provides for investigating and understanding these functions, their graphs, their relationships to one another. The course provides examples from a wide variety of applications ranging from business to the social sciences as well as in education and the natural sciences. The universal usefulness of this concept in most fields of study is why College Trigonometry is a required course for many majors.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: (Required Textbook)

Smith, Karl J. Trigonometry for College Students (Sixth Edition). Belmont, California: Brooks/Cole Publishing Co., 1994.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE ACTIVITIES: (Attendance/Punctuality)

Regular class attendance is required. The instructor reserves the right to lower students grade one level for each occurrence of three absences. Plan to get notes and handouts from other students if you are unable to attend a class. Students are not permitted to leave and return to class during a class period. Students who leave or arrive after roll has been taken must notify the instructor. Students are not permitted to bring food or drink to class. No visitors without instructor's prior consent. The student may seek assistance from the Mathematics Department tutor, SC125B, and/or in Haskell Hall, Room 203.

EVALUATION OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT:

Five 100 point exams, including a comprehensive final, will be administered. The comprehensive final exam will be administered Monday, May 5, at 9:00-10:50 am. No make-up exams will be administered. Students who miss an exam or exams may count their score on the comprehensive final for one missed exam. Students who arranged their other activities around test schedules and complete each exam when administered will be allowed to replace their lowest exam score with the score on their comprehensive final. Grades will be computed on the following scale:

A: 90% - 100%

B: 80% - 89%

C: 70% - 79%

D: 60% - 69%

F: 0% - 59%

of the "HIGH" total. The "HIGH" total is found by adding the highest score made on each exam. Students are advised that the last date to drop a course with an automatic "W" will be April 11, 2003. The last day to drop a single class or completely withdraw from NSU is May 2, 2003. A "W" or "F" will be assigned depending if the student was passing or failing at the time of withdrawal.
