COURSE
DESCRIPTION: M118 Finite Mathematics covers
set theory, linear systems, matrices and determinants, probability, linear
programming, and
applications to problems from business and the social sciences.
OBJECTIVE: A major goal is to develop the competency
of mathematical problem solving in business and social sciences. Upon finishing
this course, you will be able to solve problems such as:
Cost Control An appliance repair shop has 5
vacuum cleaners, 12 TV sets, and 18 VCRs to be repaired. The store employs two
part-time repairmen. One repairman can repair one vacuum cleaner, two TV sets
and six VCRs in 1 week, while the second repairmen can repair one vacuum
cleaner, two TV sets and six VCRs in one week. The first employee is paid $250
a week and the second employee is paid $220 a week. To
minimize the cost, how many weeks should each of the two repairmen be employed?
Family What is the probability that a family
with exactly 6 children will have 2 boys and 4 girls?
PREREQUISITE: Proficiency
in two years of high school algebra or at least a C in M117.
PROCEDURE: The students are expected to read the text, solve assigned problems, and come to class prepared to discuss the ideas and have concepts clarified. Most students make normal progress with around six hours of study each week outside class. Please see me if you have difficulty keeping up with the schedule.
HOMEWORK: Homework is an essential activity for you to achieve success in this class. To receive full credit for homework, it must be legible, complete, and correct. Students are encouraged to work together to complete their homework assignments. You will need to show your work to receive credit. Where work can be shown, answers are not enough!!! No late homework will be accepted without permission or valid excuse. Homework should be kept in a notebook. The homework for each chapter should be labeled by a separate tab. Each new section should begin on a separate page and be clearly identified. In the class period of each exam, the notebooks will be collected and graded. A student's semester homework will be worth 100 points.
EXAMS: We will have three chapter exams and a comprehensive final exam.
SUPPLIES: A graphing calculator is required. Most class demonstrations will be done using Texas Instruments TI-83 graphing calculator. You may rent a graphing calculator in the IUN library.
