- 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 4109 and Math 4110, or Math 5108)
and Calculus I (Math 4111).
- Contents.
The course will "uncover" the material in Chapters 7-10 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:
- Monday, June 14
- Monday, June 28
- Thursday, July 8.
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 Thursday, July 22 at 7:00-9:45 A.M.
is mandatory and comprehensive.
It counts 25% of your grade.
- Homework.
The instructor will regularly assign
homework. It is essential for your
success in this class that you diligently work all
the homework problems. The homework will not be collected or graded;
instead there will be unannounced quizzes with material identical to the
previously assigned homework. These quizzes will account 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 12 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, June 25
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.
