MATHEMATICS 1060Q (109Q): PRE-CALCULUS
Common Web Pages

The University of Connecticut

INTRODUCTION

This course does a rapid survey of topics from elementary functions (intermediate algebra, college algebra, trigonometry), always with the goal of preparing the students for success in their calculus classes. The textbook moves rapidly, although the bound-in copy of Chapter 1 of the Student Study Guide provides additional examples and other assistance. The "Exercises for Calculus" at the end of each chapter ask probing questions for the students to puzzle out and usually require applying more than one skill or idea.

Grade Calculations

Homework/quizzes will count 10% in determining semester averages.
(Some instructors will collect homework papers, others will not.)
The in-class exams will count equally,
and the final exam will count as either one or two exams, whichever is higher for the student. 
The semester letter grade will be based on the greater of the two numerical averages:
Average 1 = (QZ) +  .225 *(EX 1 + EX 2 + EX 3 + FNL) (where a perfect QZ score would be 10, and  exam scores range from 0 to 100),   
Average 2 = (QZ) +  .180 *(EX 1 + EX 2 + EX 3 + 2 * FNL),
Average = MAXIMUM (Ave 1, Ave 2).

There will be no retaking of exams or quizzes, and no exam grades will be dropped.
