The text for this course is Functions Modeling Change , by Connally, et al, Preliminary edition. All students are required to have a graphing calculator with the instruction manual. If you do not already own a graphing calculator, we recommend purchasing the TI-86 as it is the model used in ASU's Calculus courses. The ASU Bookstore tries to match the lowest price in town on calculators, so we encourage students to purchase their calculators from the Bookstore. The course is closely coordinated, insuring a uniform experience for all students.
Instructors work to create an interactive atmosphere where active learning can take place.
Students often work in groups during class time and sometimes work together on outside projects. Prerequisite Assessmen t Return to First Year Math homepage.
