Catalog description: Matrices and determinants. Inverse of a matrix, matrix polynomials. Systems of linear equations, parametric solutions. Functions of one and several variables: Limit, continuity and differentiation. Chain rule, implicit differentiation. Differential calculus, optimization, Lagrange multipliers. The definite integral. The indefinite integral. Logarithmic and exponential functions. Techniques of integration: Integration by substitution, integration by parts, integration by partial fractions.
Justification for the Course Proposal: This is a fundamental course designed for all social science students.
Course Objectives: This course is designed to prepare the students with an elementary knowledge of mathematics. At the end of this course the student will be expected to use basic mathematical concepts and methods in the analysis of the social sciences problems. Particular attention is paid to the relevant fundamental mathematical concepts and their applications.

Exams and Grading:
- Exam 1: 25 %
- Exam 2: 25 %
- Final: 35 %
- Assignments: 15 % (See online assignments below)
- Bonus: 5 % (See attendance below)
Attendance: The entire 5% bonus will be awarded for perfect attendance. For each missed lecture 1% bonus will be dropped. Note that 70% attendance is mandatory; meaning that in order to receive a passing grade students must attend at least 20 lectures out of 28. If your attendance is below 70% at the end of the semester, you will not be allowed to take the final exam and you will receive a grade of NA.
Online Assignments: There will be around 10 online assignments (exact number may change but the total 15% grade weight will be constant) through WeBWork. The opening and due dates for the assignments will be announced in class and also on the course web page.
Textbook: Introductory Mathematical Analysis, E. F. Haeussler, R.S. Paul, and R. Wood, 12th Edition.
Make-up Policy: In order to be eligible to enter the make-up examination for a missed examination, a student must have a documented or verifiable and officially acceptable excuse. It is not possible to make up multiple missed exams. The make-up examination for all exams will be after the final exam, and will include all topics.
Math Help Room: The mathematics help room in T-103 is a room staffed by mathematics faculty and teaching assistants where students may gather to ask questions, work on homework, and view exams. This semester, we are experimenting with the help room as a replacement for formal office hours; however students are still invited to seek out instructors in their offices if they wish.
