This course includes the
algebraic techniques and modeling that arise in management and economic
sciences and is intended for those who need more work in precalculus
techniques before taking 22M:017. Topics include algebraic techniques,
functions and functional models, exponential and logarithmic functions
and models, linear programming, and an introduction to calculus.
Examples and applications are from management, economic sciences, and
related areas. The course is at a slightly higher level than 22M:002
and has more emphasis on exponential and logarithmic functions and
modeling. Each week there are three hours of lecture by a faculty
member and two hours of discussion sections led by TAs.
Requirements include two one-and-a-half hour evening exams, a
final exam, and quizzes
during discussion periods. Students are encouraged to use the Math
Tutorial Laboratory for additional help.

Dynamic Discussion Sections
In order to promote student participation in
my discussion sections, I have been administering quizzes in a
non-traditional way. Instead of asking students to work on one
five-question quiz, this semester I am asking students to solve five
one-question quizzes. For each question, students have approximately 3
minutes to formulate a solution and submit it on a small strip of
paper. Immediately after collecting all the paper a student (with a
correct answer) is chosen to present their solution to the class.
This process is repeated for each of the five 'quizzes'. Before class
ends, students are quizzed in a more traditional manner (five
questions, one quiz) over the same material.
On non-quiz days, students form small groups (3-4 students) in order to
work on a predetermined problem set (approximately 20 minutes). During
the remaining class time each group presents 2-3 problems from their
set to the rest of the class.
Student reaction to the quizzes has been very positive; specifically
with regards to the high-energy of the quiz days and the instant
feedback that the system provides. Comments and the results of student
surveys will soon be posted here.
