GOALS:
Goals for Students in All Mathematics Courses:
Each student will
·
develop further the abi
·
improve the abi
· represent abstract concepts pictorially,
·
use mathematics as a mode
·
appreciate and use appropriate technology,
becoming proficient with, but not dependent on, symbo
Specific Goals for Students in MATH 134:
A student who successfully completes MATH 134 will
· Understand the function concept and use many ways of representing functions: analytically, graphically, verbally, by tables.
·
Understand and use the concepts of
·
Understand the definition of the derivative of a
function, together with various interpretations of the derivative concept.
·
Develop proficiency in finding derivatives of
functions, both using the definition of the derivative and using theorems
(rules) for differentiation, with emphasis on algebraic, trigonometric, and
exponential functions.
·
Solve maxima and minima problems, giving
complete, well-written solutions. Study
other app
·
Improve the abi
·
Use graphing calculators and computer software
to investigate problems involving mathematics and to produce well-written and
attractive computer lab reports.
CORE COURSE
STATEMENT:
MATH 134 may be used
to satisfy the Seattle University Core mathematics requirement. In common with all Phase I core courses, this
course emphasizes active learning, critical thinking, and writing assignments,
to help develop understanding of the concepts and app

Tuesday:
Quizzes: Six quizzes will be given in lectures and the best five will be counted. No
make-up quizzes will be given. The missed quiz score will be replaced by
the next exam.
Exams: Three 1-hour exams (100 points each) are tentatively scheduled on the
following days:
Exam 1: October 8, Friday.
Exam 2: November 2, Tuesday
Exam 3: November 23, Tuesday
Final examination (comprehensive) is scheduled on December 9, Thursday,
exam, your score on this exam will be replaced by the percentage grade you
receive on the final exam. If you have taken all three 1-hour exams and your
percentage grade on the final exam is higher than your lowest hour exam score,
that lowest score will be replaced by the percentage grade for the final exam.
For example, if your hour exam scores are 96, 52, and 84 and your final exam
score is 160/200, then the hour exam score of 52 will be replaced by 80.
Homework: Homework will be assigned in the lectures. All assigned problems should be
worked carefully. Each collected assignment will be given a score x/10 points.
At the end of the quarter, homework scores will be converted to a possible of 50
points. Many questions in exams will be quite similar to assigned homework.
Math Lab: The Mathematics Department provides math helpers who will be available
in the Math Lab (Engineering 300) for about 40 hours each week. You are
encouraged to use this resource on a drop-in basis or as a study location.
Hours will be announced and posted at Engineering 300, together with
assistant’s names and hours.
Grading: Quizzes 100 pts
Three 1-hour exams 300 pts
Projects 100 pts
Homework 50 pts
Final examination 200 pts
Total possible points for the quarter 750 pts
The following percentages are approximate. However, if your percentage falls
in one of the ranges indicated below, your letter grade will not be lower than
the grade shown:
A or A-: 90% and above
B-, B, B+: 80% to 89.99%
C-, C, C+ : 70% to 79.99%
D-, D, D+ : 60% to 69.99%
F: below 60%
