• Other Help.
  • S.O.S. Mathematics (http://www.sosmath.com) is a web site which offers lots of material concerning prerequisites for this course.
  • The Tutoring and Learning Center, located on the third floor of the UTEP Library, tel. 747-5366, offers free tutoring.

• Textbook. Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al., Calculus. J. Wiley & Sons, Inc; N. Y. Both the Single Variable and the Single and Multivariable versions are in their second edition.
  The textbook is required at all class meetings, and is intended to be read in full.

• Prerequisites. The instructor will assume that you have a thorough knowledge of the material covered in PreCalculus (Math 1508).

• Contents. The course will "uncover" the material in Chapters 1-6 of the textbook.

• Graphing Calculators. Each student must have a graphing calculator with capabilities equivalent to the TI-85. The calculator is required at all class meetings and exams. Some programs for the TI-85 will be made available in class. Failure to have certain programs in your calculator (a Riemann sum program for example) may put you at a distinct disadvantage on an exam. You may have any programs you wish in your calculators during exams.

• Tests. Three tests will be given on the following dates:
  • Friday, February 4
  • Friday, March 3
  • Friday, April 7.
  Each test counts 20% of your grade.
  Make-up tests will only be given under extraordinary circumstances, and only if you notify the instructor prior to the exam date.

• Final. The final on Friday, May 5 at 4:00-6:45 P.M. is mandatory and comprehensive. It counts 25% of your grade.

• Homework. The instructor will regularly assign homework. Although the homework will not be collected or graded, it is essential for your success in this class that you diligently work all the homework problems. Homework will include reading assignments.

• Quizzes. There will also be some unannounced quizzes. Quiz problems will be identical to prior homework assignments and/or designed to check on your understanding of the assigned reading material. Your worst two quizzes will be dropped, the others will make up your quiz score, which accounts for 15% of your grade.

• Attendance. You are strongly encouraged to attend class every day. To avoid unnecessary class disruptions you are expected to arrive in time and remain seated until the class is dismissed.

• Time Requirement. I expect that you spend an absolute minimum of 8 hours a week outside of class on solving homework problems, reading the textbook and reviewing your class notes. If you do not have the time necessary, you must take the course some other semester.

• Drop Policy. The class schedule lists Friday, March 10 as the last day to drop with an automatic "W". After the deadline, the instructor can only drop you from the course with a grade of "F". Consult the current Class Schedule, page 3, for details.

• Information on the Web. This syllabus, all home work assignments and other ancillaries can be found on my homepage http://helmut.knaust.info/mediawiki.
