Required Text Calculus Seventh Edition by Larson Hostetler and Edwards

Course description The topics covered in this course include elements of analytic geometry, limit theory, continuity of the derivative and its applications, the antiderivative, the definite integral, the fundamental theorem of calculus, properties of the integral and area.

Course Objectives The successful student will

exhibit a proficiency in the topics covered in the course;
engage in logical and critical thinking;
read technical information; and
demonstrate the solution to problems by translating written language into mathematical statements, interpreting information, sketching relevant diagrams, analyzing given information, formulating appropriate mathematical statements, and checking and verifying results

Prerequisite A grade of C or better in Math 104 (Trigonometry) and Math 103B (College Algebra) or equivalent or appropriate skills demonstrated through the math assessment process

Grading Policy Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of possible points.

A 90 -- 100% C 70 -- 79%

B 80 -- 89% D 60 -- 69%

Homework: ..........................................Е150 points

Midterm 1: Oct. 13 .....................ЕЕ.....150 points

Midterm 2: Nov 8.................................Е150 points

Midterm 3: Dec 1 ....................ЕЕЕЕ150 points

Project: Dec 3..........................................50 Points

Final Exam: Dec 6, 8:00 to 9:50 AMЕЕ350 points

Exam Policy Students are to bring calculators, pencils or pens, and paper to each exam. Grading will based on the progress towards the final answer, and the demonstration of understanding of the concept that is being tested, therefore, work must be shown in detail. Any student who cannot make it to an exam may elect to take the exam up to two days before the exam is scheduled. Without a proven medical excuse, a 10% per day penalty will be given for each day the exam is taken late. If all homework assignments are turned in for the quarter, and no more than three assignments are late, then the midterm with the lowest score will be dropped.

Homework Policy Homework is due either at the end of class or by 5:00 PM in my office. The use of computers or calculators is strongly recommended. Also, feel free to consult a fellow classmate, a tutor, your instructor, or anyone else for assistance on the homework. Homework that is turned in within one week of the due date will be counted as half credit. Homework may be turned later than one week after the due date, but points will not be awarded.

Daily Quizzes The first five minutes of each class, there will be a quiz that covers the main point from the previous lecture. Each quiz will count as 20% of the homework grade. Quizzes cannot be made up.

Extra Credit Any student who has turned in every homework assignment may elect to work on an extra credit assignment or project that will count as additional points towards either a midterm or the final. Extra credit assignments will be discussed on an individual basis during office hours.

Registration

1. You must register for this class in order to attend.

2. You may drop the class with no penalty or mark on your record on or before Friday, October 15.

3. After October 15, you may drop the class and receive a grade of W until Friday, November 19.

4. After November, if you are enrolled, you will receive one of the following grades: A,B,C,D,F or I (Incomplete, must be negotiated with the instructor and is only allowed in special cases).

In this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid an unwanted grade.

Project The project involves investigating an application of Differential calculus. The write-up of the project must be more than two pages (typed). You may write any equation by hand. You are encouraged to have Maple assist you in the project. You are also encouraged to work on the project in coordination with a non-math course that you are currently taking. You may work on the project in groups and if you choose to turn in a group project, the write up should be more than 1 + n pages where n is the number of individuals in your group.

Learning Disabilities If you have a learning disability, be sure to discuss it with Larry. Learning disabilities will be accommodated.

Tutoring: Tutors are available at no cost in G4 (The Gateway Math Center).

OFFICE HOURS:

HOW TO SUCCEED IN A MATH CLASS

Come to every class meeting.
Arrive early, get yourself settled, spend a few minutes looking at your notes from the previous class meeting, and have you materials ready when class starts.
Read each section before it is discussed in class.
Do some math every day.
Start preparing for the tests at least a week in advance.
Spend about half of your study time working with your classmates.
Take advantage of tutors and office hours, extra help can make a big difference.
