A writeable screen is preferable, but not required.  \nYou should bring the following to lecture:  \n§ Non-programmable Calculator (TI-30X)  \n§ Lecture Notes  \n§ Scratch Paper  \nCourse Description:  \nThis is a special section of College Algebra for students not continuing to Pre-Calculus or Calculus. It Is acceptable, however, for students continuing to STAT 1342.  \nStudents will learn some concepts and applications of set theory and logic. They will learn to analyze real-life situations using graphs, algebraic equations or other appropriate methods.  \nMain topics to be covered (Chapter.Section):  \n1. The Art of Problem Solving (1 . 1, 1.2, 1.3)  \n2. Basic Concepts of Set Theory (2 .1-2.4; Extension)  \n3. Introduction to Logic (3 .1-3.5)  \n4. Number Theory (5 . 1, 5.4)  \n5. Cryptography via modular groups and arithmetic (notes)  \n6. Counting Methods (10 . 1, 10.2, 10.3)  \nStudent Learning Outcomes/Objectives:  \n1. Students will apply set theory to solving practical problems, such as analyzing survey results using Venn Diagrams.  \n2. Students will determine the truth value of a compound statement and use diagrams to analyze the argument's validity.  \n3. Students will learn how to solve simple algebraic equations and inequalities and will know how to use them to problem-solve.  \n4. Given the algebraic equation of a straight line, or other appropriate data, students will graph the line on a Cartesian Coordinate Plane.  \nThe work you submit in ALEKS is 20% of your grade; this is not an accurate indicator of your overall performance in MATH 1316. You should use the grade breakdown to the right to calculate your grade.  \nYou will be working on problems during lecture, so please be on-time.  \nOptional Materials:  \n§ Graph Paper  \n§ Ruler  \n§ Colored Pencils  \n§ Linking cubes  \nGrading Scale:  \n97 ≤ 􀀤 ≤ 100 A+  \n93 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 97 A  \n90 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 93 A-  \n87 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 90 B+  \n83 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 87 B  \n80 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 83 B-  \n77 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 80 C+  \n73 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 77 C  \n70 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 73 C-  \n67 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 70 D+  \n63 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 67 D  \n60 ≤ 􀀤 \u003C 63 D-  \n60 \u003C 􀀤 F  \nGrading Policy:  \nType Number % of Final  \nGrade  \nExams 3 75%  \nQuizzes 7* 8%  \nHomework TBD 12% Attendance  - 5%   \nTotal: 100%  \n*One (1) quiz grade will be dropped.  \n~~ ~~ If at any time you have questions please do not hesitate to ask.  1  \nAcademic Calendar:  \n\n| Description | Dates |\n| --- | --- |\n| First Day of Class | Monday, August 25 |\n| Labor Day (no Class) | Monday, September 1 |\n| Census Day | Wednesday, September 10 |\n| Exam I | Tuesday – Saturday 09/30-10/04 ** |\n| Mid-Term Grades | Saturday, October 18 |\n| Drop Date | Monday, November 10 |\n| Exam II | Tuesday – Saturday 11/18-11/22 |\n| Thanksgiving/Fall Break | 11/24-11/28 |\n| Last Day of Class | Tuesday, December 9 |\n| Exam III | Thursday-Saturday 12/11-12/13 |\n\nAssignment Descriptions:  \nExams:  \n• There will be three (3) exams.
