    Syllabus for College Algebra

    CourseDescription: Topics include graphs, function and their inverses; data analysis and modeling;
    polynomial and rational functions; roots of polynomial equations, exponential and logarithmic functions; linear and non-linear systems of equations and inequalities, determinants, matrices; sequences and series.

    Objectives and Topics:


    Mathematics: The objective of the mathematics component of the core curriculum is to develop a quantitatively literate college graduate. Every college graduate should be able to apply basic mathematical tools in the solution of real-world problems. y y y y y y y To apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, higher-order thinking and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world situations. To represent and evaluate basic mathematical information verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically. To expand mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop convincing mathematical arguments. To use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical thinking and understand and to solve mathematical problems and judge reasonableness of the results. To interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables and schematics, and draw inferences from them. To develop the limitations of mathematical and statistical models. To develop the view that mathematics is an evolving discipline interrelated with human culture, and understand its connections to other disciplines.

    Methods of Instruction
    Methods will include lectures on the key concepts and discussion of issues/questions presented in class. Testing materials are liberally supplied in textbook; thus, it is necessary for each student to answer them with full concentration and diligence.

    Classroom Discipline
    y y y y y y y Ordinary silence is required in the classroom. All should stand at attention when the teacher enters and leaves. All must go to class with proper uniform. When asked to answer the question in class, a student must stand properly and answer clearly and respectfully. Students may leave the classroom only one at a time to go to comfort room. Each class must have a copy of seat plan. This facilitates the checking of attendance. Anybody can express himself in class as long as it is done within the bounds of respect and interpersonal ethics.
