Catalog description: Mat 100 is a preparatory course for calculus courses. Topics include: Functions and their inverses, operations with functions and graphing techniques, polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities and trigonometric equations, systems of equations, inequalities and solving techniques.
Justification for the Course Proposal: This course is meant to prepare students for success in the calculus series (MAT 119-120).
Course Objectives: A successful student will: become comfortable with the language of functions; gain an understanding of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions and ability to describe their graphs; be able to solve linear and quadratic equations and equations with exponential and logarithmic functions; and gain problem solving skills analyzing the quantitative aspects of real- world problems and creating mathematical models.
Course Coordinator: Erhan Gürel (office: TZ-32, phone: x3425, email: egurel_at_metu.edu.tr)
Exams and Grading: Course grades are determined by (online) homework completed in recitations, a midterm exam, and a final exam, as well as a small number of bonus points awarded on the basis of attendance, class participation, and/or project completion.
- Homework: 30 % (WeBWork)
- Midterm: 30 %
- Final Exam: 40 %
- Bonus: 5 % (policy varies between sections)
Homework: Course homework will be assigned and graded using the online WeBWork system. This homework will be completed during recitation hours in a computer lab with the aid of the assistants.

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. Students are also invited to seek out instructors in their offices.
