HOMEPAGE: www.etsu.edu/math/gardner/gardner.htm (see my homepage for a copy of the course sillabus and updates for the course)
GRADUATE ASSISTANT: TBA, OFFICE HOURS:TBA
TEXT: Mathematics: An Applied Approach, 6th edition, by A. Mizrahi and M. Sullivan.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Instructor's Solution's Manual by S. Davis, contains worked-out solutions for all exercises in the text. Student Solutions Manual by S. Davis contains worked-out solutions to all odd-numbered exercises in the text. A copy of each of these additional resources will be on reserve in the library.
CALCULATORS: A graphing calculator is not required for this course, however the Math Department encourages the use of one. You may use the calculator for each test. You may not share a calculator or refer to any manual while taking a test, so you must be knowledgeable as to how your calculator works.
NOTE: If you alot an appropriate amount of time for your studies (at least 2 hours outside of class for each hour spent in class) then I think this can be a pleasent and rewarding (intellectually and gradewise) experience!
GRADING: Your grade will be determined by the average on the three tests and the comprehensive final. Your average is determined by: AVERAGE = (T1+T2+T3+2F)/5. Grades will be assigned based on a 10 point scale with "plus" and "minus" grades being assigned as appropriate.
MAKE-UP POLICY: Students who miss a test for a valid reason will be allowed to replace their grade on the final for the missed test.
