Students can download a Mathematica student license free of charge at the download links below.
Windows:
http://download.wolfram.com/?key=59FEWH
Macintosh:
http://download.wolfram.com/?key=932S18
Students just need to grab an installer, install the license (license number L3268-8904), and follow the prompts to get a password through the Wolfram Research Website automatically -- the installer will prompt them to do this.
The student license allows you to run it 14 days without a password. At the end of 14 days (or sooner if you would like), click on the "enter password" button. It will ask you for name, organization, and license number; just use your name, Ball State University, and L3268-8904. The next screen will generate a MathID and direct you to a web site; you put that MathID in the web site and it returns a password and then you're all done.
There are two way to satisfy the Algebra-Trig background requirements for calculus, using InQsit or using ALEKS, and each is explained below. A passing mark indicates that your background is up to speed for calculus, and you will be given a perfect score for HW0. This material is critical to being well prepared to succeed in calculus. The goal is to make sure everyone is up to speed with their background. If you do not get a passing mark by the deadline, you will get a zero for HW0, and will need to come see me to discuss whether staying enrolled in this class is a good option for you.
You must take the InQsit quiz (at least once) or the ALEKS assessment by Friday, August 28; however, you have until Sunday, September 6 to earn a passing mark.
Using InQsit:
Take the algebra/trig quiz using the proctored inQsit program as directed below, multiple times if necessary, until you get a score of 85% or higher. Since some questions are chosen at random, each time you take the exam it will be different and each student will be taking a slightly different exam. If your score is not 85% or higher please carefully study the solutions that are provided at the end of the test. If, after taking the exam and studying the solutions, you do not think you will score 85% or higher by the deadline you should come see me. I will be happy to do what I can to help get you caught up on this material.
3) Remember that you will need to bring your student ID, your student login name and your student password when you go to take the test. The quiz is under the name Stankewitz, and this quiz is called Math165-section003.
Practice this quiz at http://inqsit.bsu.edu/inqsit/signin.cgi/export/home/stankewitz?beta1-unix
at any time from any computer. Note, however, that your score will NOT count unless you take it in the proctored computer labs as directed above.If you wish to prepare for the exam ahead of time to review some of these topics, you can find notes at any of the following (it will also give you an idea of what topics will be covered):
Using ALEKS:
ALEKS will provide an initial assessment (test) to determine
which areas you are strong in and which need improvement. After this
assessment, you will choose from your areas for improvement and be led through a
series of questions and tutorials until you have mastered that area. Keep
working through these until you have mastered all the material enough to achieve
a passing mark. Of course, you are encouraged to continue on until you
perfect all areas. The system will allow you 6 weeks to use ALEKS;
however, you have only until the deadline to earn a passing mark.
