MATH-1100-LN40

Welcome to the home page for Section LN40 of MATH-1100 (Intermediate Algebra) at Southeast Community College in the Summer term of 2016. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

Here are some useful links for the administration of the course:

My course policies: DjVu format, PDF format.
Downloading help (if you have trouble reading some of the files here);
Your current grade (on Moodle, where you must log in).

Assignments

If you miss a homework assignment, then you can find it here. Eventually some solutions to graded homework may show up here too.

Readings and homework (done almost every day);
Problem sets and exams (done nearly every week);
Final exam (August 12 Friday).

Although only homework and the exams contribute directly to your grade, attendance is also important.

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 3rd Edition of Elementary & Intermediate Algebra written by Sullivan et al and published by Prentice-Hall (Pearson). You should be able to get this at the bookstore, and most homework problems will come from it. (This same book is used for MATH-0950 too, so you might want to check both shelves in the bookstore.) If you pay for it, you can also use MyMathLab integrated into the Moodle course; this is optional.

I also have some lecture notes, hand-outs, links, and so forth. If you missed class, then you might be able to find a substitute here. But there is no guarantee that everything will show up!
