I. Course Description:

Math Structures II.  Origins of numerals and number systems, sets, relations and their properties, systems of  whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and intuitive geometry.  No major or minor credit in mathematics.

Prerequisite: Math 1513 or Math 2213.  Credit 3 hours.

II. Required Textbook:

Miller/Heeren/Hornsby, Mathematical Ideas, Tenth Edition: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 2004.

III. Course Objectives:

A. To present the appropriate mathematics in an intellectually honest and mathematically correct manner.

B. To use Heuristics of problem solving as an integral part of mathematics.

C. To approach the mathematics in a sequence which initially instills confidence that challenges students as they complete the exercises and problem sets.

D. To encourage our students to extend their learning beyond the classroom by providing a variety of discussion topics and a diversity of problems.

 IV. Teaching Format:

  This course will be taught primarily by lecture and demonstration.  The textbook will be the basis for material   to be presented and the student will be responsible for reading all material and working all problems assigned.  Computer assisted instruction disks, which are located in the Learning Resource Center (LRC), will be  available as supplementary material.

  V. Evaluation:

At least four 50 minute objective examinations will be given during the semester.  Problems are assigned from each section taught. The test average will comprise of  66  2/3% of the semester grade and the assigned  problems will comprise the remaining  33  2/3% .   If five tests are given the lowest score excluding the final will be discarded. 

  VI. Grading:

The following grade scale will be used to determine a letter grade:

 90% - 100% > A

80% -  89% > B

70% -  79% > C

60% -  69% > D

Below 60% > F

 VII. Attendance Policy:

 Attendance is highly important and stressed to each student. Attendance is not counted as part of a grade;  however, poor attendance usually reflects poor performance.  Students who begin to establish irregular habits  are reminded of their need to attend regularly.

  VIII. Make-Up Policy:

The student is expected to take all examinations at a specified time and date. If a student has circumstances  arise which make it impractical to take a test at its regularly  assigned time, it is his/her responsibility to contact the instructor prior to the examination if possible.  Make up exams will be more difficult and are strongly discouraged; however, they will be given if the instructor decides the student had legitimate reason to miss and  notified the instructor ahead of time when it was possible.   No late homework assignments will be accepted without instructors approval however three of the lowest homework grades will be discarded .
