You will be responsible for any information discussed in class.
Course Objectives: The objectives include understanding the concepts of Calculus and
applying these concepts to solve problems.

Topics Covered
Unit 1:
1. Review of in/definite integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and some
techniques of integration.
2. Study some of the key physical applications of integration. This includes area,
volume of rotational solids, arc length of curves, and work in physics.
Unit 2:
1. Study more advanced techniques for computing integrals with :
(a) Trig identities
(b) Partial fractions

1
Unit 3:
1. Numerical infinite series
2. Power series
3. Taylor series
After the three units are complete, if we have time we will study the basics of vector
calculation in 2D and 3D

Attendance Policy and Course Structure

Attendance is not mandatory (except for tests, quizzes and due dates. The teacher
will take the roll those days), however, attendance is strongly encouraged. The student
will be responsible for some examples that we discuss in class which are not
in the course textbook and also for any information discussed in class.
This course meets three times a week. On Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesday and
Thursdays, we have 1 hour and 45 minutes class periods. We will usually have around 10
minutes(or 15 minutes) break every class. The exception is test days, which we will use
20 minutes for an additional review then we will have a 10 minute break and use 75
minutes for the test.

WeBWorK
There will be regular homework assignments on WeBWorK. To access WeBWorK log in
at,
https://webwork.math.uga.edu/webwork2/Math2260_QuispeSaldana_Su17
Your username will be your UGA myID, and your password is your nine digit
student 810/811 number.
For example, if your UGA myID is uga30602 and your student ID number is
8101234560, then your username is uga30602 and your password is 8101234560.
Once you log in, you may change your password.
When you log in to WeBWorK, you will be presented with a list of assignments
with a status accompanying each (such as due date).
You can try the problems as many times as you like, until a WeBWork assignment
is due, and the system will tell you whether you have the right answer.
The day after the assignment is due you will be able to view the correct answer in
WeBWork as well.

 When visiting the site for the first time, you may receive a message to the effect
that your browser does not have a currently valid certificate for this website. That
should not be a problem; you can usually tell your browser to let you visit the site
anyway.

eLC
Another important webpage for the course is eLC,
https://uga.view.usg.edu
after you log in, you can find a page for this class.
On this webpage I will upload to eLC:
The homework HW
The solutions from the quizzes.
Some power point presentations.
Additional PDF files that we will use during the semester.
Test grades.
This should also help you figure out your overall grade throughout the course.

Homework

From Webwork

There is one homework assignment for each section of the textbook that we cover.
The due dates are posted in the tentative schedule here in this syllabus. Often you will
have multiple assignments available simultaneously and all the assignments are of varying
lengths. This homework will help you if you work on them incrementally as they come
out instead of doing all assignments at the last minute.
Most of the time the assignments will be due on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays at
9:00pm of the due date. You will have between 3 to 5 days to complete each assignment.

3
You should check WeBWork each day to make sure you are up to date with
the materials.
Most of the time you will have unlimited attempts to correctly respond to the
questions before the due date. Any question with limited attempts will be clearly
indicated. Every question on WeBWork counts for 1 point, and there is no partial credit
on any part of a WeBWork problem.
If you need help with WebWork please visit eLC under our course. I have put up a
style guide that gives suggestions for how best to format your answers for easy reading
later.

From HW

Almost every Friday, I will assign a HW assignment in eLC and the partial solution
will be posted on eLC on the following Monday. This assignment must be written
up by hand and turned in at class on Thursday of that week. ( not by email and not
in my office)
This assignment can be turned in at class before the due date.
These assignments only have one or two problems on them, but they ask you to
present your work carefully, cleanly, and correctly.
Each problem will be graded out of 20 points. 13 of those points are for showing your
work and finding a correct answer. I will give partial credit. The other 7 points are
good style.
Your solution should have
an explanation of your steps with complete sentences.
clear presentation, where I can follow the steps of your work.
proper use of notation and symbols.
You are more than welcome to come to my office hours if you would like me to look
at drafts of your solutions to these problems and offer assistance.
The first week of class I will provide a demo with complete solutions, so that you get
an indication for the expected standards.

Quizzes
Every Tuesday except for test days, there is a short in-class quiz, administered at the
start of the class(most of the time). Quizzes have only one problem on them, graded out

4
of 10 points, with partial credit. Most quizzes most be solved within 8 minutes, but some
will have 12 or 15 minutes. This change will be announced in class the day before.
Partial credit is counted, but you must show your work. You may still lose points for
a correct answer if there is an insufficient explanation.
You may not use your notes, book, calculators, or any Internet-enabled devices
during quizzes.

Tests
There will be three exams; all are on Thursdays during class(tentative dates):
June 15
July 3
July 19
These exams will be 75 minutes. Expect 7 to 8 questions per test, most of which will
be quite similar to the HW from that unit and problems that we solve in class.
During the test you will have to justify, just as in the homework HWs, why you
choose a particular strategy for a problem(but in a very short sentence).
Also during the test you cannot use your book, notes, or any Internet-enabled
devices.
You can use Texas Instruments TI30XIIS Scientific Calculator or Texas Instruments
TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator
Regardless of the universitys comprehensive final exam schedule, the final exam is
Monday, July 31, 8:00-11:00 am. Location: Building 1023 (Boyd Graduate Research
Center), room 323.. This exam will be approximately twice the length of an in-class exam.

Grades
Your grade will be calculated as follows:

Homework HW: 7 %(I will drop the lowest score)

Homework from WeBWork: 7%(I will drop 5 problems of the total)

Quizzes: 7%(I will drop the lowest score)

Midterm Exam 1: 18 %

Midterm Exam 2: 18%

Midterm Exam 3: 18%

5
Student must have an average between the three midterms of more than 60 in order to
take the final exam and pass the course.)

Comprehensive Final Exam: 25 %

Final letter grades will be determined according to the following scale:

A 90 90 > A 89 89 > B+ 87 87 > B 80 80 > B 79
79 > C+ 77 77 > C 70 70 > C 69 69 > D 60 F < 60
I usually do not curve grades, but that can change if I feel a test was unfair. Any
curve will be announced electronically and/ or in class.

Make-up exams

Make-up exams will not be given. If you are unable to take an exam or a quiz
for a documented reason given in advance a student must bring detailed documentation
explaining the circumstances to the instructor during office hours no more than 7 days
after an exam or quiz is missed. Students must leave a copy of their documentation with
the instructor(emails from parents are not considered documentation). The instructor has
full authority to decide whether or not to excuse an exam absence. If the absence for the
exam is excused, then the final exam score will be counted for the missed exam. Those
students who cannot attend a quiz for the first time, must drop that quiz. If the student
misses a quiz a second time, then the student must present the appropriate
documentation that justifies his absence. If the absence is not excused, then a grade of 0
will be given. Only one exam may be excused. If two or more exams are missed, then a
grade of 0 will be recorded for all missed exams.

Academic Honesty

As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the Universitys

academic honesty policy, A Culture of Honesty, and the Student Honor Code. All
academic work must meet the standards described in A Culture of Honesty found at:
https://ovpi.uga.edu/academic-honesty/academic-honesty-policy.
Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for
a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy
should be directed to the instructor.
