Fall 2024 Office Hours (Drop-In Student Contact Hours)
Many of the rooms in Seco Hall still use the letter C above their door.

I will likely hold my office hours TWTh afternoons after teaching and having some lunch.
Other student contact times will be available by appointment.

Math 100: Liberal Arts Mathematics

Book

You may download a free book, or spend approximately $8 for looseleaf printed copies from the bookstore. Puchase a 3-ring binder (1.5 or 2 inches) if you purchase the looseleaf pages. A link to the pdf copy of the book is available through the Math Department website.

Please wait until one or two weeks before the start of the semester before ordering the book or downloading it in case we make edits.

I will begin with Chapters 2 and 8 in the book for work with decimals (politics), percentages, and proportions.

Math Skills Refresh

I highly recommend that you enroll in some of our Noncredit Math classes if your Math placement was Level 1 or if you have previously struggled with Math 100.

The Noncredit Math classes that help with Math 100 are only 6-10 hours per course, are free, and there is no transcript notation. Please see the Math Department website for more information about these courses.

You may begin with NC.Math-004, and 005 to prepare for Chapter 2 on percentages and proportions. I also recommend NC.Math-002, 003, 007, and 008. You may also complete NC.Math-001 and 006 to complete the certificates.

If you do not know your Math placement level, you may check with Admissions and Records (A&R) or Counseling.
