Grading Policy

Dr. Raul Ramos

Three midterms 60 %*In-class activities 10 %Homework 10 %Final 20 %Course grade 100 %

* In-class activities: • Set of exercises to work in class individually or in groups, must be turn in by the end of the class, a grade (0-

100) will be assign to the activity. • The lowest grade from the set of activities will be dropped.• No make-up in-class activities are allowed.


• Policies

• Check list starts at the beginning of class. An absence is considered if a student arrives 10 minutes after the class has started; student may enter to take the class and work in the activities.

• The use of cell phones, iPads, and tables are only allowed if it is necessary for a class, otherwise these devices must be stored away. Penalty: student will be given an absence on that day.

• Regarding in-class activities, homework, and exams, the student must show all his or her work to get a full grade. Providing only the answer without showing the procedure will not be acceptable.

Dr. Raul Ramos

• Basis for future courses in business, social sciences, and engineering.

•Math surround us in every aspect of our lives.

•We can use math to create models and get an idea of the behavior of our model.

Lecture 1: Numeric analysis, algebraic and geometric of functions and its applications

MA1016 Mathematics IRaul Ignacio Ramos Garcia, Ph.D.


Outline• Functions • Variables: independent and dependent• Mapping of variables values• Vertical line test• Representation of functions• Domain and range (or image) of a function

Dr. Raul Ramos


Functions and their representations• Daily we encounter situations where two or more quantities are related using a

rule or pattern.

• For example:

• The cost to publish a note in the news paper depends on the number of words of the note.

• The salary of an employee is given the number of hours he or she worked in a week.

• etc..

• All these can be represented with a mathematical model!

Dr. Raul Ramos


Small exercise

• Example 1: When you talk in your cell phone, what would the cost of the call depend on?

• Example 2: A car salesman has a fix biweekly salary of $4000. Additionally, it receives a commission for every sold car. What would his salary depend on in his next paycheck?

Dr. Raul Ramos


We have described a function…

• In both earlier cases we have seen a relationship between two quantities, and that one quantity depends on the other.

• In mathematics, to describe such relationship we use the concept of function.

• Quantity is a function of quantity , if and only if (iff) relates to ONLY ONE value of .

Dr. Raul Ramos


• Example: When you talk in your cell phone, what would the cost of the call depend on?

Dr. Raul Ramos

𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑙 h𝑝 𝑜𝑛𝑒= 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒×𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠

𝑦 ¿ 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 × 𝑥

Dependent variable Independent variable

Variable: is a value that varies or change.

Independent variable: is a quantity that you have control over, what you can choose and manipulate in a function.

Dependent variable: represents the outcome or effect that the independent variable has in the function.


• Example: A car salesman has a fix biweekly salary of $4000. Additionally, it receives a commission for every sold car. What would his salary depend on in his next paycheck?

Discrete and Continuous Variables• A variable is discrete if the number of possible values it can take is

finite. That is, the values can be listed.

• Example 1: Variable represents the number on a die, i.e. .

• Example 2: Variable represents the performance rate for questions in a survey, i.e. .

Dr. Raul Ramos


• A variable is continuous if the number of possible values it can take is infinite. That is, the values can not be listed.

• Example 1: Variable represents the temperature b/w and , i.e. .

• Example 2: Variable represents al possible values b/w 0 and 1, i.e.

Dr. Raul Ramos


• [1,5] = All values between (b/w) 1 and 5, including 1 and 5.

• (1,5] = All values b/w 1 and 5, excluding 1.

• [1,5) = All values b/w 1 and 5, excluding 5.

• (1,5) = All values b/w 1 and 5, excluding 1 and 5.

Review• So, in a relationship of quantities we can ask:

• Is it a function?

• Which one is de independent and dependent variable?

• What is the domain of the function?

• Is the domain continuous or discrete?

• What is the range of a function?

• Is the range continuous or discrete?Dr. Raul Ramos


Something to keep in mind…

• The domain and range of a function are not necessary numeric values, i.e. it could be also a set of words.

• Example 1: Variable represents a day of the week, i.e. .

• Example 2: Variable represents the performance rate for questions in a survey, i.e. .

Dr. Raul Ramos


• Example 1: Cars sold per month

Conclusion• A function is a relationship, a set of rules, a pattern between quantities.

• A functions is a model than can help us to analyze a situation, make predictions and make better decisions.

• In a function we have variables: independent and dependent.

• In a function there is always a one to one correspondence between the independent and dependent variables.

• We can test a function using a map diagram, the vertical line test, looking at the values of a table.

• Variables, depending on the set of values, could be either discrete or continuous.

• The domain and range gives us the set of values independent and dependent variable can take, respectively.
