MATH-1150-ES32&ES34

Welcome to the home page for Sections ES32 and ES34 of MATH-1150 (College Algebra) at Southeast Community College in the Spring term of 2016. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

Here is material about the administration of the course:

My course policies: DjVu format, PDF format.
Your current grade (on Moodle, where you must log in):
- Section ES32 (Tuesdays and Thursdays);
- Section ES34 (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays).
Downloading help (if you have trouble reading some of the files here).

Assignments

If you miss an assignment, then you can find it here.

Readings and homework (one for almost every section of the textbook).
Problem sets and quizzes (done nearly every week).
Final exam (June 9 or 8).

Most graded work is done in class; although it can be made up outside of class, regular attendance is important.

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 10th Edition of Algebra & Trigonometry written by Sullivan and published by Prentice-Hall (Pearson). You should be able to get this at the bookstore, and most assignments will come from it. (This same book is used for MATH-1200 too, so you might want to check both shelves in the bookstore.) If you pay for it, you can also use MyMathLab integrated into the Moodle course; this is optional.

I also have some lecture notes, hand-outs, links, and so forth. If you missed class, then you should be able to find those here.
