Course Description:
Functions, graphs of functions, graphical solutions to equations and inequalities, linear and quadratic models; systems of linear equations, matrices, linear programming; mathematics of finance; sets and counting, probability, and descriptive statistics.
Goals:
To give the students an understanding of and appreciation for some of the uses of mathematics in realistic applied settings.Math 124 develops quantitative skills that will be useful for a variety of applications, such as finance and probability.It develops student capabilities related to several of NDSU’s General Education Objectives, including:The ability to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts and formats, the ability to locate and use information for making appropriate personal and professional decisions, the ability to comprehend concepts and methods of inquiry in science and technology, and their applications for society.
Evaluation:
Grades in the course will reflect students’ demonstrated attainment of course objectives.Specifically:
·60%+
of your grade will be based on performance on two exams given in class
(times to be announced)
·20% of your grade will be based on Projects,group labs, assignments will be handed in, and in-class work
·20% of your grade will be based on quizzes
The standard 90-80-70-60 grading scale will be used.You should not expect any "curving" of grades.
