• Office Hours. MW 11:30-12:20, T 2:30-3:30 or by appointment.

• Other Help.
  • The Tutoring and Learning Center, located on the third floor of the UTEP Library, tel. 747-5366, offers free tutoring.
  • To review your algebra skills visit S.O.S. Mathematics on the web at the URL: http://www.sosmath.com

• Textbook. Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al., Calculus. J. Wiley & Sons, Inc; N. Y. Both the Single Variable and the Single and Multivariable versions in their second edition are suitable for the course.
  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, or Math 4109 and Math 4110).

• 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, or TI-86. The calculator is required at all class meetings and exams. Some programs for your calculator 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, September 20
  • Wednesday, October 13
  • Wednesday, November 10.
  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 Monday, December 13 at 1:00-3:45 is mandatory and comprehensive. It counts 25% of your grade.

• Homework. The instructor will regularly assign homework. The homework will be collected at the beginning of class and at least partially graded. It is essential for your success in this class that you diligently work all the homework problems. Homework will account for 15% of your grade. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
  (This policy will be changed if the Math Department is unable to provide sufficient grading help.)

• 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 eight 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, October 15 as the last day to drop with an automatic "W". After the deadline, I can only drop you from the course with a grade of "F".

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