Syllabus: 

This course covers the essentials of matrix theory, graph theory, numerical methods, and introduction to proofs needed for majors in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Topics include Gauss-Jordan elimination, matrix algebra, determinants, graphs, trees, root finding algorithms, numerical differentiation, numerical integration, numerical matrix methods, propositional and predicate logic, and formal logic proofs.

Prerequisite:
CSCI 1380 (or CSCI 1387) or CMPE 1170/1370 (or CMPE 1378/1178) with a grade of 'C' or better, and MATH 2413 (or MATH 2487) with a grade of 'C' or better.

Student Learning Outcomes (Course Goals): After completing this course students will gather the basic skills in mathematics and computing required for electrical and computer engineering.

Instructions:
  1. Attendance Required: Any student who accumulates the equivalent of three (3) hours of absences, excused or unexcused may be withdrawn from the class with the grade "DF". Three (3) tardies will count as one (1) absence. A tardy is defined as entering class after the starting time OR leaving the class early. Time lost from a QUIZ or TEST due to tardiness will not be made up.
  2. Home Work: HW will be collected two times in a week: Tuesday and Friday. HW should be neat and clean, pages stapled together, with the name, section number and HW# written legibly on the right hand corner of the first sheet of the HW. Please do the problems in the order of them being assigned and make sure to show ALL of your work. No late HW will be accepted. Students must have the Instructor’s permission before submitting late work. Note that from each of the HW a couple of problems may be selected randomly, which will be graded. HW may be replaced by class quiz based on the assigned HW.
  3. Students are responsible for all reading materials.
  4. Students are expected to attend all classes regularly. If you miss any meeting, it is the Student's responsibility to get class notes from another student.
  5. There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS given. Students who know they will miss a class test/exam for an excusable reason must inform the instructor before or on the day of the test/exam through phone or e-mail; otherwise, absence will be considered unexcused and a zero will be given.
  6. Cell Phone: Cell phone needs to be turned off during the class or test period. Handling with the cell phone during a test is strictly prohibited.
  7. Laptops: Students are not allowed to turn on their laptops or any noise making device during the class time without the special permission of the instructor.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:

Students with a documented disability (physical, psychological, learning, or other disability which affects academic performance) who would like to receive academic accommodations should contact Student Accessibility Services (SAS) as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to initiate services.  Accommodations can be arranged through SAS at any time, but are not retroactive.  Students who experience a broken bone, severe injury, or undergo surgery during the semester are eligible for temporary services.  

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT and MANDATORY REPORTING: 

In accordance with UT System regulations, your instructor is a “Responsible Employee” for reporting purposes under Title IX regulations and so must report to the Office of Institutional Equity & Diversity (oie@utrgv.edu) any instance, occurring during a student’s time in college, of sexual misconduct, which includes sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual harassment, about which she/he becomes aware during this course through writing, discussion, or personal disclosure. More information can be found at www.utrgv.edu/equity, including confidential resources available on campus. The faculty and staff of UTRGV actively strive to provide a learning, working, and living environment that promotes personal integrity, civility, and mutual respect that is free from sexual misconduct, discrimination, and all forms of violence. If students, faculty, or staff would like confidential assistance, or have questions, they can contact OVAVP (Office for Victim Advocacy & Violence Prevention) at 665-8287, 882-8282, or OVAVP@utrgv.edu.

 

COURSE DROPS:

According to UTRGV policy, students may drop any class without penalty earning a grade of DR until the official drop date. Following that date, students must be assigned a letter grade and can no longer drop the class. Students considering dropping the class should be aware of the “3-peat rule” and the “6-drop” rule so they can recognize how dropped classes may affect their academic success. The 6-drop rule refers to Texas law that dictates that undergraduate students may not drop more than six courses during their undergraduate career. Courses dropped at other Texas public higher education institutions will count toward the six-course drop limit. The 3-peat rule refers to additional fees charged to students who take the same class for the third time.


Grading Policy: 10% from home work and Quiz, 25% from each of the two class tests, 40% from the final, total 100%.
Grading Scale: A:[90%, 100%], B:[80%, 89%], C:[70%, 79%], D:[60%, 69%], F:[0, 59%].
