Simple and compound interest, consumer credit and insurance. Present value, future value, and annuities. An introduction to statistics and graphical analysis.
Current plan is for four tests to be given in class.
Depending on how the course progresses, I may give a take home test later in the semester as a review of previously presented material that could replace one of the test grades. Homework assignments will be collected at random for grading. I will collect a number of assignments at random. I may or may not announce in advance whether or not I will collect an assignment. You will be allowed to turn in one of the collected assignments late for full credit.
