MATH-1150-LN02&ES35

Welcome to the home page for Sections LN02 and ES35 of MATH-1150 (College Algebra) at Southeast Community College in the Fall term of 2015. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

Here is material about the administration of the course:

The official college syllabus, including class and contact information:
- Section LN02 (main campus): DjVu format, PDF format;
- Section ES35 (downtown campus): DjVu format, PDF format.
My course policies: DjVu format, PDF format.
Your current grade (on Moodle, where you must log in):
- Section LN02 (main campus);
- Section ES35 (downtown campus).
Downloading help (if you have trouble reading some of the files here).

Assignments

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

Problem sets (done nearly every day).
Quizzes (taken nearly every week).
Final exam (December 16 or 17).
Extra-credit questionnaire (handed out December 16 or 15): DjVu format, PDF format.

All graded work is done in class; although it can be made up outside of class, regular attendance is important.

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 10th Edition of Algebra & Trigonometry written by Sullivan and published by Prentice-Hall (Pearson). You should be able to get this at the bookstore, and most assignments will come from it. (Do not get the 9th Edition, which is still being used for MATH-1200 this term.) 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!
