E-MAIL:flashman@axe.humboldt.edu WWW: http://www.humboldt.edu/~mef2/
***Prerequisite: HSU MATH 42 or 44 or 45 or math code 40.

TEXT: Required: Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences, Fifth Edition by S.T. Tan, 2000.

Sensible Calculus

Catalog Description: Logarithmic and exponential functions. Derivatives, integrals; velocity, curve sketching, area; marginal cost, revenue, and profit, consumer savings; present value.
SCOPE: This course will deal with the theory and application to Business and Economics of what is often described as "differential and integral calculus." Supplementary notes and text will be provided as appropriate.
TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS: There will be several tests in this course. There will be several reality check quizzes, two midterm exams and a comprehensive final examination.

Homework assignments are made regularly. They should be done neatly and passed in on the due date. Homework is graded Acceptable/Unacceptable with problems to be redone. Redone work should be returned for grading promptly.
Exams will be announced at least one week in advance.
THE FINAL EXAMINATION WILL BE SELF SCHEDULED.
The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the entire semester.
MAKE-UP TESTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES! It is the student's responsibility to request a makeup promptly.

*** DAILY ATTENDANCE SHOULD BE A HABIT! ***

Team Activities: Every two weeks your team will be asked to submit a summary of what we have covered in class. (No more than two sides of a paper.) These may be organized in any way you find useful but should not be a copy of your class notes. I will read and correct these before returning them. Team participants will receive corrected photocopies.

Your summaries will be allowed as references at the final examination only.

Every week (with some exceptions) teams will submit a response to the "problem/activity of the week." All cooperative problem work will be graded +(5 well done), ü(4 for OK), -(3 acceptable), or unacceptable(1) and will be used in determining the 80 points allocated for cooperative assignments.

GRADES: Final grades will be determined taking into consideration the quality of work done in the course as evidenced primarily from the accumulation of points from tests and various assignments.

Reality Quizzes	100 points
2 Midterm Examinations	200 points
Homework	70 points
Cooperative work	80 points
Final Examination	200 points
Total	650 points

Cooperative problem assignments and summaries will be used to determine 80 points.

The total points available for the semester is 650.

Notice that only 400 of these points are from examinations, so regular participation is essential to forming a good foundation for your grades as well as your learning.
MORE THAN 4 ABSENCES MAY LOWER THE FINAL GRADE FOR POOR ATTENDANCE.

See the course schedule for the dates related to the following

No drops will be allowed without "serious and compelling reasons" and a fee.
Students wishing to be graded with either CR or NC should make this request to the Adm & Rec office in writing or by using the web registration procedures.
No drops will be allowed.
Technology: The computer or a graphing calculator can be used for many problems. We will use Winplot and Microsoft Xcel.

Winplot is freeware and may be downloaded from Rick Parris's website or directly from this link for Winplot .
Online help for Winplot is available.

We may also use X(PLORE). A version of X(PLORE) is available at the bookstore for MAC based PC's along with the PC version we will use.Windows and DOS versions of X(PLORE) are also available online...X(PLORE) for Windows.]

Graphing Calculators: Graphing calculators are welcome and highly recommended.

I will use the HP48G for some in-class work though most graphing calculators will be able to do much of this work. HP48G's will be available for students to borrow for the term through me by arrangement with the Math department. Supplementary materials will be distributed if needed.
If you would like to purchase a graphing calculator, let me know.
Students wishing help with any graphing calculator should plan to bring their calculator manual with them to class.
