MATH 1100 Finite Mathematics Spring Semester 2004

Excerpt from Department syllabus: MATH 1100 is intended for students whose major does not require calculus. Some of the students will not be taking another mathematics course. Many Education majors will follow MATH 1100 with MATH 1310-1320 to complete their math requirement for state teacher certification. Students in some majors (for example, Biology) will follow MATH 1100 with MATH 2680, Inferential Statistics. MATH 1100 satisfies the AUM Liberal Education Requirement (core requirement) in mathematics, and it has been approved as a state core course in math.

Testing: Every two weeks there will be a short test on the material from the previous two weeks work (approximately). These tests count 2/3 of your grade. One missed test is made up automatically in the following way: The final exam counts as the makeup test. Whatever you make on the final, you will receive this same grade on the missed test. The final exam counts 1/3 of your grade.
