Welcome to Math 25!
Math 25 (course description) teaches real-life applications of the topics and skills from Math 20.
Our workbook is available at the LCC Bookstore and online. Unless you have an expensive laser printer, buying it at the bookstore costs less than printing it at home. There is a second book that some students find helpful and others ignore that can be purchased online.
Please register for MRC use (CRN 43380 in Spring 2010) if you plan to use the MRC at all. This CRN costs nothing and has no credits. It is used by the college to get appropriate state funding for the MRC staff.
Homework is turned in using Moodle.
After each class, lecture notes will be available online.
Most of the syllabus is in the beginning of your workbook, some information is on a bookmark. During the first two weeks of the term, please take the syllabus quiz and turn in your reply by e-mail.
Practice midterms #1 and #2 are available. You can also use a midterm generating spreadsheet to put new numbers in the problems.
There is an online version of the gradebook with Hogwarts-style names. If your midterm scores and attendance record do not tell you what your fake name is then call or e-mail me.
Learning this math is like a stool that stands on three legs: reading the workbook and reference book before class, carefully doing homework, and developing good test-taking techniques. Neglecting any of these three is dangerous! Please do not demonstrate such recklessness.
