MATH-1150-ES32

Welcome to the home page for Section ES32 of MATH-1150 (College Algebra) at Southeast Community College in the Summer term of 2015. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

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

Contact information (to get in touch with me);
Tutoring information (for outside help);
Grading (how the class is graded);
Schedule (the material that we'll cover);
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.

Attendance (taken every day);
Homework (due nearly every day);
Final exam (September 23 Wednesday).

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

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 9th 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 homework problems will come from it. (This same book is used for MATH-1200 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!
