IMPORTANT INFORMATION
*It is important you obtain your own scientific calculator that has these functions : log, √, !, cos, sin, tan, yx, nCr, and nPr, You will not be allowed to use a calculator until notified.
*Bring your own notebook, assignment, and pencil to class everyday. Assignments, quizzes, and tests must be written in pencil. You must use graph paper for the graphs. You may use ink to write notes. Notes that include graphs may be written on lined paper.
*Your book is available on-line. Information will be provided on Mr. Friedlander’s web site on how to access your book. Students who have the necessary computer time at home may opt not to have a book checked out to them. Books will be available in class to work on assignments.
*Do not get behind. We will move very quickly at times. If you need help, get it! Use all of the resources at your disposal : your friends, former students, your teacher, your siblings, a Mu Alpha Theta student, and homework centers. Cheating, however, is not an option. Ask questions when necessary.
