TEXT: Calculus by Swokowski, classic edition. It is recommended that you also purchase the student solutions manual
PREREQUISITE: Math 141 with a grade of C or better or equivalent.
ADVISORY: English 56 with a grade of C or better, or equivalent.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a primary introduction to university level calculus. It is the first of a three-semester sequence. This course is intended for the transfer student planning to major in mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, engineering, or economics. In this course we will cover the following topics: Analytic geometry; limits and continuity; differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions. Emphasis is placed on calculus applications. Analytical reading and problem solving are required for success in this course.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: Evaluate a definite integral by using a u substitution Using correct form and notation.
OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student should be able to: Evaluate limits of asymptotic functions; Differentiate using product, quotient, and chain rule of algebraic and transcendental functions. Use differentiation to solve application problems as well as graph functions. Evaluate definite and indefinite integrals. Use integration to solve application problems including volumes and surface area.
ATTENDANCE: You may be dropped on the second absence. You will be dropped if you've reached 4 absences before July 11. It is the student's responsibility to drop the class if you stop attending. If you know that you will be absent or very late, leave a message.
BEHAVIOR: Students are expected to respect and obey standards of student conduct while in class and on the campus. Students should be familiar with policy 3100 in the college catalog. If you exhibit deliberate behavior that prohibits or impedes any member of the class from pursuing any class assignment, objective or learning opportunity within the classroom, you will be dismissed from class that day and a report will be filed with the appropriate dean. This includes but is not limited to: cheating, plagiarism, regular tardiness, profanity, alcohol or drugs, cellular phones, and pagers. Cell phones may not be used for any reason during class.
HOMEWORK: You are expected to attempt as many problems from the text as is necessary to grasp a concept. Homework questions should be asked outside of lecture or in the tutoring lab. You should not expect satisfactory results without attempting problems on a daily basis, usually at least 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour of lecture. Exams are made up of homework type questions. QUIZZES: There will be 26 open book quizzes given at the beginning of class. The quizzes are made up of homework type questions. Missed quizzes receive a zero and cannot be made up or taken early.
EXAMS: There will be three 2-hour exams worth 70.6% of the grade and a comprehensive final worth 29.4%. The lowest of the exams may be replaced by the top 20 quizzes or the final may be replaced by the best 25 quizzes. A missed exam is replaced by the quiz grade. There are no make-ups for missed exams, but you may take an exam up to 1 week early. A practice test will be given out before each exam.
CHEATING: This will be dealt with severely. Cheating on a quiz or an exam will result in receiving a zero (and it can't be dropped). Cheating on the final exam will result in failing the course. In either case a report will be filed with the appropriate deans.
INCOMPLETE: The grade of incomplete will be given only if you have taken all three exams, are passing the course, and are unable to take the final exam. Incompletes must be made up by the end of the summer 2015 or the grade is changed to an F.
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATION: Any student who may need an academic accommodation should discuss the situation with me during the first week of class.
MATERIALS: A proper scientific calculator is required at every class. It is strongly recommended that you have a graphing calculator. All work should be done in pencil. You should have your own pad of quadrille ruled graph paper. You may not use a graphing calculator during quizzes or exams, but a scientific calculator will be provided at that time if you don't have one.
GRADING: Exams 3 @ 400 1200 1530-1700 A Quiz 20 @ 20 400 1360-1529 B Final Exam 500 1156-1359 C Total 1700 935-1155 D
The grade will be determined by whichever method yields the highest point total: 3 Exams and Final Exam, Best 2 Exams, best 20 quizzes and Final Exam OR 3 Exams and 25 Quizzes
EXPECTATION: You are required to show up to each class with your notebook, textbook, pencil, and calculator. Questions about the lecture and material in the book are always encouraged. You are expected to take notes and when you are absent, you are expected to get copies of the missed notes from a classmate. You are all in this together and are not in competition for a limited number of A's and B's. You should study hard, do the work in a timely fashion, ask lots of questions, and good luck!
