Text: Calculus,
Early Transcendentals Enhanced WebAssign Edition, Stewart. Cengage
Learning. 2008.
This is a customized version
of the book, because it will be cheaper for the student. You can go to the UMD
bookstore to purchase it. In my class, we will NOT be using WebAssign, just the
textbook. However, you can use it in the future, and it IS cheaper to buy it
this way. You can also buy this text
online. The ISBN of a suitable version
is 978-0495011668. This text is also
available as an ebook on Amazon with ISBN 978-0495564164.
Prerequisites: Math 1290, Math1296 or Math 1596
Course Description: The topics
covered are Integration techniques and applications, Infinite Sequences and
Series, Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates and Partial Derivatives. The material is covered in Chapters
7-11(omitting 9) and 14 of the Stewart text.
Some supplemental material, not included in the text, may occasionally
be presented in lecture.

Class Policy
Lectures, discussions,
material in the text and homework are all intended to compliment each
other. No one is a replacement for any
of the others. You are responsible for
all material covered via any of these sources.
Each Thursday (except the week of an exam) in discussion there will be a
10 point quiz covering current material.
The lowest quiz score will be dropped at the end of the semester. Homework will
be assigned daily in class and will be due at the end of class each Tuesday.
There will be more problems assigned than graded and you will be responsible
for going online and viewing the homework key to insure that all your work is
correct. Late work will not be
accepted. All
work should be shown for homework, quizzes and tests. Adhere to the “Minimum Standard Requirements
For Mathematics and Statistics Homework/Lab Assignments” for the completion of
homework. You are strongly encouraged to
form study groups and collaboration is acceptable on homework assignments, but
not exams or quizzes unless you are explicitly told otherwise. Any cases of
cheating will be dealt with severely. If you feel that an error has been made
in grading on of your exams, please bring it to the attention of the
instructor. You will have one week following the return of each exam in which
to contest such errors. Keep all homework, quizzes and exams in
your records. The final exam date is
absolutely nonnegotiable. Cell phones are not needed for class
activities and should remain off and away during class.
Participation
Your
participation in this class is expected.
In lecture I will routinely start or finish a class with a two point
question(s) that will be graded as follows.
One point will be granted for an incorrect answer and the full two
points for a correct answer. The
questions will all be answered with the personal response card (clicker) you
purchased. However, before the system
will work you will need to register your response card at https://www2.webvista.umn.edu/webct/logon/318217936041
. For more information about the technology and the process that was used
to choose this system you can visit http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/classroom/srs/index.html. At the end of the semester the three lowest
scores will be dropped.
Calculators
Use
of graphing calculators is encouraged but not required. They will be allowed on
exams and quizzes, but exams and quizzes will be written to minimize the
benefit of having a calculator. You must
show your work (thought process) for all problems, thus answers arrived at by
calculator alone will be granted very few points. Any calculator that is capable of symbolic
manipulation will not be allowed on exams.
This includes TI-89. See the
instructor if you are unsure if your calculator is acceptable.
Missed Exams or Quizzes
Missed
quizzes or exams will be assigned a zero score unless you provide a valid
written, signed (by a doctor, for example) excuse for your absence; unless it
is not possible to do so, you must provide verbal notice ahead of time to your
instructor for the absence. Arrangements for a makeup should be made as soon as
you know you will miss. Do not wait for the next class. You can leave the
instructor a message 24 hours a day by phone or by email. Oversleeping, poor
preparation, slight colds, and cold weather are not valid excuses. Remember
that one quiz score will be dropped, so you have a bit of a cushion.
Disabilities
Please inform me of any
disabilities of which I should be aware in order to provide for equitable
participation. As a student you may experience a range of issues
that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased
anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or
lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead
to diminished academic performance or reduce a student’s ability to participate
in daily activities.
Tutoring
In addition to the office
hours of the instructor and the teaching assistants, help is usually available
M-F at the
