Paper Textbook: MAT 210/211 Brief Calculus and Mathematics for Business Analysis by Waner and Costenoble, published by CENGAGE Learning, custom edition for the ASU.

Online homework system: This course is using WebAssign homework system. Students must have a so-called access code . If you buy a new textbook, access code for WebAssign is included with the book. If you buy a used textbook, you will have to buy the access code separately ($47).

Electronic book: Instead of the paper textbook, students may use the following electronic book: Finite Mathematics and Applied Calculus by Waner and Costenoble, 5th ed,. published by CENGAGE Learning. Electronic book comes with access to WebAssign.

Warning! If you decide to use the electronic book, don't buy it from the publisher's web site! You should buy it from the WebAssign web site at together with WebAssign access at the time of enrollment.

Future students of MAT 211: When you study MAT 211, you won't need to buy a new textbook or access code for WebAssign! You will continue using your current textbook and your current WebAssign account for MAT 211.

Prerequisites: Students of MAT 210 are expected to complete MAT 117 (College Algebra) with a grade of A, B or C, or at least 50% score at the ALEKS Placement Test (see below).

Placement Test: All incoming students must take the ALEKS Placement Test outside of class on the Internet prior to enrolling. The URL is . This exam emphasizes required algebraic skills and assesses the student's general level of current mathematical ability.

Technology: An appropriate calculator is the only form of technology allowed in the classroom. The use of laptops, cell phones, MP3, IPOD, etc are strictly prohibited during class.

Graphing Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this course.  Highly recommended models include the TI-83+/84+ calculators and the Casio 9750G or 9850GB Plus calculators.

* NOT permitted: calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those that do symbolic algebra, such as the Casio FX2, Casio 9970Gs, TI-89, or TI-92

Withdrawal deadlines: June 8 (course withdrawal), June 29 (complete withdrawal).

Midterm Test: You will take one midterm test during the semester. Each will involve a mix of mechanical skills and conceptual reasoning. The best possible preparation for them is regular attendance and completion of assigned homework.

* This exam is taken outside of class time in the Mathematics Department Testing Center, in PSA 21 (basement).

* To be admitted to the Testing Center each student must have a valid ASU "Sun Card".

* The testing center is open 10:30 a.m. - 8:45 p.m. M-Th. Make sure you arrive before 7:00 p.m. The testing center will not allow late entry. Arrival before the door closes allows the student an hour and forty five minutes to complete the test.

* Students should complete exams as early as possible during the allotted time frame, since the center can get extremely busy in the afternoons.

* Your calculator memory may be viewed during any exam and will be cleared if anything suspicious is noted. The instructor has the right to regard finding suspicious material in your calculator memory as cheating.

Homework, Quizzes & Projects:

* Students are expected to read relevant sections of the textbook prior to attending class.

* Homework, quizzes, and projects will be graded. Students may work together on homework, but each

individual student is required to submit their own work.

* Quizzes and projects are given at the discretion of the instructor and frequently reflect material that has

recently been discussed in class. To encourage attendance, instructors will not give makeup quizzes or projects.

Instructors may assign both written homework and online homework. Online homework will be submitted online via the internet using the online homework system, WebAssign. Students may use their own computers or computers in any one of the ASU computer labs. In order to log on to WebAssign, go to . In order to register for WebAssign, you must have an ACCESS CODE and a Class Key. The ACCESS CODE can be purchased with a new textbook or online . The Class Key for this class is asu 7232 9109.

Grading Criteria:
