Review of Algebra (Stewart) Calculus I lectures online
Course description: Mathematics 1210 is an
introduction to differential and integral calculus. Limits, derivatives
and
integrals will be developed as tools to
analyze the
properties of functions. Application include
motion and
rates of change, optimization and approximation methods, differential
equations
and the calculation of areas, volumes and lengths. Calculus underlies
mathematical modeling in all of science and engineering.
Midterms:
There will be three midterm exams. Problems on the exams will be
similar to the
homework problems. The lowest score will be dropped.
Because one is dropped, there will be no
makeup exams.
If there is a legitimate reason for your missing more than one exam, I
will add
the weight of what you missed to the weight of your final. Thus
effectively you
will get the same score on the missed midterm as you will on the final
(final
is comprehensive). Tentative dates for
the midterms: Feb 7; Mar
7; Apr 16.
Final test: Monday, April 29,
3:30
– 5:30 pm
Homework: The homework will be assigned and should be turned in weekly. The homework will be graded based on completion and accuracy. Handed in homework will consist of two parts A and B: problems in part A will be graded, problems in part B will be checked for completion. The homework should be clear and accurately written, with all the problems assembled in correct order in parts A and B. The homework set should be stapled together. You will need to show all your work on homework problems and present the solutions in an organized, accurate fashion. If no work is shown, no credit will be given. No late homework will be accepted. Two lowest homework scores will not be included in computation of the grade.
Grading: The grade will be calculated as an average of the homework score, midterms and the final.
Tutoring: Tutoring Lab :
T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Student Center
(adjacent to JWB & LCB), Room 155: M -
Th 8 am - 8 pm; F
8 am – 6 pm. Closed Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays. The Lab also offers group tutoring
sessions.
Private Tutoring: University Tutoring Services, 330 SSB

. There is also a list of tutors at
the Math
Department office in JWB233.
Calculators: You are encouraged to use graphing calculators
and computer software for visualization,
and as computational
aids on homework, but not as a substitute for learning mathematical
concepts.
Only scientific calculators (i.e. with no graphing or symbolic
computation
abilities) may be used on exams, but they
are not
required.
Holidays:
Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Monday, January
21;
Presidents' Day: Monday, February 18.
Spring break: March 12-17.
