Just to let you know, the NCC email server is down so if you emailed me, it may be awhile before I answer.
The fact that the approximate time of the crash and the Nassau County mosquito spraying program was purely coincidental and in no way should any jokes about computer bugs be made.

There will 5 in class exams worth 100 points and a final worth 200 points. This gives 6 grades of 100 points and the lowest will be dropped. There will be 100 points worth of quizzes and projects. Some of the lowest quiz/project grades will be dropped.
Essentials of Algebra and Trigonometry by Christy, Rosenfeld &
Botkin. Published by Pearson
PREREQUISITE
Satisfactory completion of MAT 002 or a working knowledge of elementary algebra.
As part of this course, students should avail themselves of further study and/or educational assistance available in the Mathematics Center: B-l30 and B-l26. These activities and use of the resources provided are deemed an integral part of the course, and will help the student master necessary knowledge and skills.
General
This course covers most of the topics included in the high school course called “algebra 2 and trigonometry” and is planned for the student having deficiencies in that area who plans to go on with the study of mathematics.
Specific
To improve the students’ ability to solve problems in an orderly and logical manner, to provide the student with the basic ideas of numerical and analytic trigonometry, to develop accuracy and speed in the manipulations of algebraic functions, to acquaint the student with the basic equation forms and the graphs and problems that involve these forms. Without decreasing the emphasis on the traditional algebraic skills, a graphing calculator similar to the Texas Instruments TI-83/84 is recommended as a technological tool to assist in the integration of the above concepts.
The current syllabus is available in the MAT/CS/ITE Office, Room B 3028 or by downloading a version here: Course outline for mat109

Calculus – Single Variable Edition
by Hughes-Hallet et al.
4th Ed
Wiley
There will be 2 in class exams plus a cumulative final. Each exam is worth 100 points and the final is worth 200 points. The lowest 100 points will be dropped.
There will be additional assignments that will be counted as part of the final (approximately 10%).
Sample Grade Calculation: Exam 1: 85/100, Exam 2: 80/100, , final 140/200.
Since the final (70/100) is the lowest grade, the grades used are 85 + 80+ 70 = 235/300
Final Grade: 235/300 = 78 = C+
A graphing calculator is required. Suggested is a TI 83, TI 86 or TI 89. If you do not know how to use the features of this calculator, it is advised you bring the manual with you.
Students are strongly encouraged to make use of the Math Center, B 130. The Math Center has both scheduled tutoring sessions and drop in help. Also available in the Math Center is the Instructor Answer Manual which contains the answers to all problems fully worked out. The Manual can be borrowed but not removed from the Center. The answer Manual is also available in the Library. I suggest you save your money and not buy the student answer key as it contains few answers with no worked out problems.
You can obtain a course outline from the MAT/CS/ITE Office, Room B 3028 or download a version here: Course outline for Mat 123
