Syllabus for Math 300

Fall 2010 Term

Office Phone	755-4575 (Leave a message on the answering machine and I will try to reach you at least two times before giving up.
Prerequisites	If you do not have the following prerequisites see your instructor. Math 161 and 162 with a C or better or equivalent.
Syllabus	The text for our course is A Transition to Advanced Mathematics: Sixth Edition, by Smith, Eggen and St. Andre. We will cover most of chapters 1-4 and depending on time some of chapter 5. Your instructor will add some material to the course that is not in the text.
Homework	Your instructor does not collect homework but students are expected to work every homework problem. The students in previous years that worked every problem have usually done well in your instructor’s courses.
Calculators	Math 300 will be a calculator/computer free environment. We will not need calculators for this class.
Disabilities	If you are a student with a disability and think that you might need special assistance or a special accommodation in this class or any other class, call the Office for Students with Disabilities/College Access Program at 755-4006 or come by the office, 110 Frist Hall. Examples of disabilities are blindness/low vision, communication disorders, deafness/hearing impairments, emotional/psychological disabilities, learning disabilities, and other health impairments.
Attendance	"You are expected to be here for every class. Coming late and leaving early should be rare occurences since it is impolite and distracting to the entire class. However, it is better to be tardy than not to come at all. If you are tardy, please enter as quietly as possible and sit near the entrance. If you have to leave early for any reason, please let me know ahead of time and sit near the exit."
Current Catalog Description	Foundations of Mathematics(3): Introductory concepts of sets, functions, equivalence relations, ordering relations, logic, methods of proof, and axiomatic theories with topics from combinatorics, graph theory, or abstract algebra. Fall and spring semesters. Prerequisite: Mathematics 161/162 with minimum grades of C. This course is a prerequisite for Mathematics 321, 350, 403, 410, 412, 422, 430 and 452. Mathematics majors should enroll in it at the end of the sophomore year or beginning of the junior year.
UTC Honor Code	Your instructor has had to turn in a number of students to the honor court for cheating. This is usually devastating to the student.
