COURSE SYLLABUS Business Calculus MAT 135 Instructor: Dr. P.

Rahman Quarter: Spring 2012 Prerequisite: Completion of Mathematics 130 or adequate performance on the Mathematics Diagnostic Test. Prerequisites are strictly enforced by the Math Department. A prerequisite can only be waived with the approval of the instructor and the department chair. Text: Calculus for Business, Economics, Social and Life Sciences, by R. Barnett , M. Ziegler and K. Byleen 11th edition. Third Special Edition for DePaul University. Other materials: Students are required to have a graphing calculator. The TI-83 Plus is highly recommended, but other graphing calculators are also acceptable. However, instructors may only be able to offer assistance with TI-82, TI-83, and TI-83 Plus. Learning outcomes: MAT 135 is part of the Scientific Inquiry Domain. This course will focus on the following learning outcomes: Students will understand and demonstrate mastery of the major principles guiding modern mathematical thought. Students will learn to use mathematics as the basic tool for formalizing scientific inquiry and quantifying nature, the sciences, the social sciences, and modern technology. Students will demonstrate mastery of both the mathematical content and scientific applications presented in the course. Students will understand and appreciate the role of mathematics as the fundamental language of science and modern technology. Students will apply mathematical content and models to a variety of disciplines including business, life sciences and social sciences. Writing requirements: The problem sets in this course require mathematical exposition as well as interpretations of calculus concepts and statements of conclusions based on algebraic, graphical and numerical results.

Method of Evaluation: Over the course of the quarter there will be 2 hourly exams, seven minor quizzes and a comprehensive final. The final exam date is Wednesday, June 6. Students need to take the final exam in class that day. Homework will be assigned every session but will not be collected. The problems on all the exams will be similar to homework problems and problems worked out in class. The hourly exams, quizzes, and the final will count as follows toward the final grade.

Suggested & Required Homework Assignments (subject to change) Boldface exercises are applied problems and are REQUIRED. The intent in problem selection is to ensure that applications include a variety of disciplines business, life sciences, and social sciences. Italicized ones are ones that tend to emphasize calculus concepts. It should be understood that the line between conceptual, applied and technical exercises is a fine one.
