1. Homework problems covering subject matter from text and related material ranging from 30-60 problems per week. Students will need to employ critical thinking in order to complete assignments. Honors students will be assigned some of the more challenging problems from the textbook.
2. Six hours per week of lecture covering subject matter from text and related material. Reading and study of the textbook, related materials and notes.
3. Students will submit a typed report solving at least one applied, real-world problem. Typed solutions should be generated using a mathematical typesetting software. These special applied projects will require students to discuss mathematical problems, write solutions using accurate mathematical language and notation, and interpret mathematical solutions. Projects may require the use of a computer algebra system, such as Mathematica or MATLAB.
4. Worksheets: Problems and activities covering the subject matter. Such problems and activities will require students to think critically. These worksheets may be completed inside or outside of class.
