All Students should be aware that the
Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor Code very
seriously and enforces it strictly. This means that there must
not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class
projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and
exams. Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any
such activities to the Instructor.

Prerequisites: Math 103 with a grade of C or better or placement by performance on standardized entrance examinations.
Number of Credits: 4
Course Description: Consists of a series of projects, many of which introduce and use elementary differentiation and/or integration in which the students perform sustained algebraic and trigonometric computations. The projects involve the following topics: radian measure, conic sections, trigonometric functions and identities, law of sines and cosines, logarithmic equations, partial fraction decomposition, systems of linear and nonlinear equations, functions in polar coordinates, and hyperbolic functions. This course may not be used to satisfy degree requirements in any program.
Grading Policy: Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve:
A |
90-100 |
|
C |
60-69 |
B+ |
85-89 |
|
D |
50-59 |

Departmental Policies:
Attendance: Students must attend all classes and recitations. Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions. Tardiness to class is very disruptive to the instructor and students and will not be tolerated. Students might be withdrawn from the class or receive an "F" because of absences.

Common
Exam Policy:
There are
NO MAKE-UP MIDTERM EXAMS. Students who fail to take an exam will receive a score
of zero unless they have a legitimate excuse. Students with legitimate excuses
should contact the Chairperson.
Final
Exam Policy: There will
be no makeup final exams, except in rare situations where the student
has a
legitimate reason for missing an exam, including illness, death in the
family, accident, requirement to appear in court, etc. The student
must notify the Math office and the Instructor that he/she will miss
an exam. In all cases, the student must present proof for missing the
exam, e.g., a doctor's note, police report, court notice, etc.,
clearly stating the date AND times.
Cellular phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
