    Click Vital Source if you’d prefer an EBook. (Do not buy the regular 5th edition, the UM Custom Edition includes
    an extra chapter in trigonometry.) (This is the same text used in M121 last semester.)

    Graphing Calculator
    A graphing calculator is required. Class demos will be given with a TI-83 or TI-84.

    Course Description
    Offered autumn and spring. Prereq., M 121 or ALEKS placement >= 4. Preparation for calculus based on college
    algebra. Review of functions and their inverses. Trigonometric functions and identities, polar coordinates and an
    optional topic such as complex numbers, vectors or parametric equations. Credit not allowed for both M 122 and
    M 151. Credit hours: 3

    General Education Learning Outcome: Upon completion of the mathematical literacy requirement, a student will
    be able to apply effectively mathematical or statistical reasoning to a variety of applied or theoretical problems.

    Learning Outcomes

    Upon completion of this course students will be able to:


    1. Define trigonometric ratios using right triangles and coordinate systems: the unit circle and polar
    coordinates.
    2. Graph trigonometric functions of a real variable.
    3. Investigate the algebra of trigonometric functions, including composition of functions, inverse
    functions, and transformations.
    4. Solve trigonometric identities and equations.
    5. Use trigonometric functions of a real variable to model real-world phenomena and solve applied
    problems.

    Course Content

    1. Functions: Definitions, Transformations, Applications, Composition, Inverses


    2. Triangle Trigonometry
    3. Trigonometric Functions
    4. Trigonometric Identities and Equations, Inverse Trigonometric Functions
    5. Law of Sines and Law of Cosines
    6. Polar Coordinates
    7. Optional Topics: Complex Numbers, Parametric Equations or Conic Sections.
    Grading Policies

    Your course grade will be based on 3 midterm exams, a common final exam and other activities. A tentative
    schedule was distributed in class; here is a link to download the pdf document.

    Assignments Points and Percentages


    Three midterm exams (100 points each; Feb 16, Mar 16 & Apr 20) 300 points (50%)
    Other activities (homework, WeBWorK, quizzes, in-class activities, etc.) 150 points (25%)
    Cumulative Final Exam (all sections Tu, May 8, 5:30-7:30 pm) 150 points (25%)

    Grading scale:
     93%  90%  87%  83%  80%  75%  70%  65%  62%  58%  55%  55%
    A A B+ B B C+ C C D+ D D F

    M122 must be completed with a C- or better to fulfill the math literacy requirement. Taking M122 with the
    Credit/NoCredit option will not fulfill prerequisite requirements either.

    Some Strategies to Complete This Course Successfully

     Check you have the prerequisites: M121, or Aleks placement level 4, or consent of instructor.
     Regular attendance: give support to and get support from your classmates and instructor during class.
     Read the textbook both before and after the topics are covered in class: read the authors’ introductory
    remarks to get a feel for the material, take the reading assessment if your instructor provides one, or use the
    ``Check Your Understanding” problems at the end of each chapter. Redo examples on your own and then
    compare your solution with the authors’ approach. Read the ``Summary’’ or create your own summary
    before you start your homework.
     “Do math”: One of the best ways to learn mathematics is to do mathematics. Each class will have both
    written homework and online WeBWorK assignments. Expect at least 2 hours of work outside class every
    day.
     Get some one-to-one interaction: take advantage of your instructor’s regular office hours (also available
    by appointment), meet with tutors or with your classmates at the Math Learning Center (in the Math
    building, Room Math 011) or Math@Mansfield, create a study group or find a study partner. For some of
    us this is the most effective (and most fun) way to learn math.
     Use course webpages and login to the Moodle supplement for more information.

    Some General University Policies

     Make-ups: Exam make-ups will be given only under special circumstances (illness, UM-sponsored travel,
    family emergency, etc.) Please make arrangements as soon as you know you will miss an exam. Early
    finals (December 13 or earlier on Thursday, December 14) will be given only under exceptional
    circumstances; and need the approval of the course coordinator.
     Disabilities: Students with disabilities are welcome to discuss accommodations with me. More information
    can be found at the website of the Disabilities Services for Students (DSS) (http://www.umt.edu/dss/).
    Disability Services now requires one week's notice for scheduling exams.
     Important Dates/Deadlines (click for links): Petitions to drop between November 2nd and December 11 must
    be approved by the Dean of the student’s major. Incompletes may be given only if a student has been in
    attendance and doing passing work up to 3 weeks before the end of the semester. See these and other
    policies in the student catalog.
     Misconduct: All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an
    academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University. See Student
    Conduct Code.
