1210-7 M,T,W,F 8:35-9:25AM HEB 2006

Syllabus

The course will introduce you to calculus; the main topics will be differentiation and integration. After some polynomial calculus (notes are here), we will follow Varberg/Purcell/Rigdon: Calculus, 9th edition, chapters 1 to 5.

Prerequisites

The prequisites correspond to the material covered in math 1050 and 1060.

Problem sessions

On Wednesday (though the day will fluctuate), we will mainly work out problems. Some will come from the homework, others will be related.

Quizzes

There will be a (roughly) weekly quiz on Fridays. The lowest grade will be dropped.
A missed quiz equals a 0.
All quizzes are closed-book. No calculators are allowed.

Homework

Homework will be assigned weekly (on Sundays) and will be due the following Friday, at the beginning of class. The assignments will be posted online (see bottom of the page). Feel free to work with your classmates. Nevertheless, if you work in groups, write up your own answers: homeworks will be graded individually. Important: when submitting a homework, follow these guidelines! No late homework will be accepted.

Exam Schedule (Tentative)

All exams are closed-book. No calculators are allowed. The final exam is comprehensive.

Make-up Policy

We follow the department's policy to not offer make-up midterms. The grade of an exam missed for a valid reason will be the weighted average of the other exam's scores.

Help

You can get help from a Tutor at the Math Center, located on the first floor between the two Math buildings (JWB and LCB). The hours are Monday-Thursday 8am-8pm and Friday 8am-6pm.

Grade

Your final score will consist in a weighted average of your score in the quizzes (10%), homeworks (30%), midterms (15% each), and final (30%). You can track your scores on WebCT/Blackboard.

Disability

Students with documented disabilities or other special needs that require special accomodation must register with the Center for Disability Services. After that, contact the instructor at least a week before each exam; we will need to have received confirmation from the Center for Disability Services.
