Text: Algebra and
Trigonometry, 8th Ed, by Sullivan (Prentice Hall)
This course covers trigonometric
functions and their graphs, inverse trigonometric functions, identities
and conditional equations, solving right and oblique triangles, polar
graphs, vectors, complex numbers, DeMoivre’s Theorem, and conic
sections.
The pre-requisite to the course is College Algebra with a grade of
C or higher. It is intended for science majors whose next course is
Calculus I.
Scientific Calculator Required…..(Graphing
Calculator prohibited)
Attendance
is taken and expected. Extra credit will be given for attendance and
promptness. I expected all students to get to class on time.
Habitually tardy students will be refused late admittance. Please turn
off laptops and cell phone. Students are expected to behave
appropriately and obey the rules of conduct at FIU (see student
handbook).
Grading:
There will be 4 tests and a required cumulative Final Exam (to be given
on the date scheduled by the registrar) Each shall be 100 points
for a possible grade total of 500 points. There are NO MAKE-UP exams.
If you miss a test with an instructor excused absence, I will count the
final exam as two grades. I reserve the right to add points to students
who display outstanding class participation. (Grades will not be curved
nor dropped)
Please Note: I do NOT
“give” you your grade. You earn it. Please do NOT put me in the postion
of “deciding your fate” by asking for a grade at end of the semester.
The time to worry about your grade is NOW!
