Upload by Jasmine

MAC 2233 is the first course in a two-semester calculus sequence, emphasizing applications in business, economics, life, and social sciences. The syllabus outlines core topics including precalculus functions and graphs, special functions as models, and calculus covering limits, differentiation, applications of the derivative, introduction to integration, and area. It specifies prerequisites (including ALEKS placement options), required materials such as Lial et al. Calculus with Applications (Eleventh Edition) and MyMathLab access, required calculators, lecture responsibilities, and office hours plus online help resources.

The course covers important precalculus topics: basics of functions and graphing, special functions and their applications as models (linear, quadratic, rational, exponential and logarithmic) as well as calculus: limits, differentiation, applications of the derivative, introduction to integration and its applications including area. A minimum grade of C (not C-) in MAC 2233 satisfies three credits of the university General Education quantitative requirement. Prerequisites MAC 2233 assumes that you have essential precalculus skills necessary to succeed in calculus. This course does not cover trigonometry. To enroll in MAC 2233, you must have earned a grade of C or better in MAC 1140, precalculus algebra, or MAC 1147, precalculus; earned calculus credit through an exam or earlier coursework; or have taken the ALEKS placement assessment and attained the required minimum score. You may take the ALEKS assessment through the ONE. UF homepage [https://one.uf.edu](https://one.uf.edu) ; click on Placement under My Online Services. For more complete information, check the page [https://student.ufl.edu/](https://student.ufl.edu/. Note the following)[. Note the following](https://student.ufl.edu/. Note the following) paragraph: The Department of Mathematics encourages you to take the assessment even if you have met one of the prerequisites for MAC 2233. You may need to review your algebra skills and your placement assessment can provide information and specific areas for additional study." You can check with either an advisor in your college, the MAC 2233 course coordinator, or an advisor in the math department (the main office is Little 358) to be sure that you are eligible for MAC 2233. The textbook for MAC 2233 begins with a short review of precalculus topics. You should already be competent in working this material. We strongly recommend that students who are having difficulty with this review material consider first taking MAC 1140, a three-credit review of Precalculus Algebra. You may switch courses on ONE. UF during the drop-add period. In an agreement with the registrar's office, you have one additional week to drop back to MAC 1140. After the drop-add period, the paperwork to move back to precalculus MAC 1140 must be completed through the math department. See the course coordinator, Dr. Shabazz. Required Materials Textbook: Calculus with Applications, Eleventh Edition by Lial, Greenwall and Richey. The text may be accessed as an ebook through the online homework system MyMathLab. There are two ways to purchase MyMathLab, which will be available at the start of the semester. • You have the choice to \opt-in" to MyMathLab and the ebook. This gives you MyMathLab access for a reduced price of $100 which is added as a charge to your student account. This is the lowest priced option for purchasing MyMathLab. The link to \opt-in" will be provided through Canvas once classes begin. • Students who do not \opt-in" can purchase an access code to MyMathLab and the ebook through the UF bookstore. This is not the best option since the cost is $128.50. It is not required, but some students prefer a hard copy of the text. If so, you may purchase from the UF bookstore a loose leaf \print upgrade" version of the ebook for $41.25. You may also be able to find a new or used copy of the text online. But note the following: DO NOT TRY to purchase your MyMathLab code online or directly from Pearson. Those codes will not provide access to our MyMathLab course which is accessed
