Purpose: Mathematics provides useful tools in economics and social sciences, as well as in the natural and physical sciences. Through the study of linear functions and models, matrix operations, inequalities and linear programming, exponential and logarithmic functions and single and multivariate differentiation, students will learn mathematical skills and concepts which may be applied in a practical setting relevant to many careers.
Prerequisite: MATH 1111
Textbook: Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life and Social Sciences, Harshbarger and Reynolds, Ninth Edition.
Calculator Requirement: Each student is expected to have access to a graphing calculator in class and for homework. I will use a TI-84 for classroom demonstrations.

If you miss a class, you are still responsible for any material covered in class.
Class starts promptly at the designated time.
Additional Help: Remember that if you need additional help I am available during the office hours listed above.
In addition, the CST Math and Science Tutorial Center is located on the 2nd floor of Solms Hall, Room 206. I will notify you of the hours once they have been posted.
Consider forming a study group with one or more classmates.
Honor Code: You should be familiar with the Honor Code (see AASU catalog) and abide by its rules. All quizzes and tests must be your own work. You will be informed about what type of collaboration is permissible on graded assignments.
