  1. Math 174, Spring 2004 Introduction -- Desert Vista Campus -- Northwest Campus

  2. Startup Administration • Introduction – me • Attendance & Roll Call • Must initial roll sheet • Required to drop anyone who doesn’t show on first day • If DRC student – see me after class • Fill out student information sheets

  3. Prerequisites and Policy • Course Information sheet – general information for entire course • Available on-line (http://business.math.arizona.edu/) • Class Syllabus – specific to course • Prerequisite – Need to have 173; enforced by me • Cannot post or email grades

  4. Structure of Course • Like last time, mathematics is tied to and used in two projects • Project 1: Marketing • Uses differentiation and integration • Project 2: Bidding on an Oil Lease • Uses probability distributions and monte carlo simulations, along with integration

  5. Class Files • Unlike last time, a package containing a CD and student notebook is required to be purchased from the bookstore • Mathematics for Business Decisions: Part 2 by Thompson and Lamoureux • CD contains allof the course files • Student notebook is a hard copy of the slides presented in the course files • You will still need to download 115b.exe from the business math web page – contains specific information about the class (daily syllabus, practice exams, etc).

  6. 173 vs. 174 • In 173, we did a few fairly simple things: • Probability Models • Distributions – PDF’s and CDF’s • Bayes’ Theorem and Trees • In 174, we tackle two central topics in 1-dimensional Calculus • Differentiation • Integration + the statistical ideal of variance and two theorems • Central Limit Theorem (CLT) & Sampling Distribution of Mean • Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) • Excel does all calculations for us but this course is harder than 173

  7. Projects • Like last time, there are 2 projects in the course. • Each project is worth 200 points and consists of the following components: • A preliminary report (20 points) • A final report (60 points) • An oral report (70 points) • An individual quiz (50 points) • A handout has been prepared that discusses my expectations of each of these components

  8. A few more details • Tutoring center – • Opens September 2. I tutor on Fridays from 11-12pm. • All notes will be done via PowerPoint presentations • The PowerPoint files will be available for download off of the class web page (http://www.math.arizona.edu/~lkondek) • I will try to get the files there BEFORE the day the notes will be presented – cannot guarantee though • Note: If you do get the files before the class, the files may change slightly.

  9. Your responsibility • I will do my part to help you succeed in this course but first and foremost you are responsible for your own education • Visit tutoring • Form study groups • Visit my office hours; make appointments • Do all the work assigned to the BEST of your ability • Do extra work • Take all appointments made (with me and your team) very seriously; come prepared to work

  10. Homework Two parts: • Bring your comments on the class policy (purple sheet) to my office by 5pm tomorrow • If I am not there, you can slide it under my door. • Bring a copy of your schedule with you to the next class.
