Syllabus

We will follow Varberg/Purcell/Rigdon: Calculus, 9th edition, chapters 6 to 10.

Prerequisites

A grade of C or better in Math 1210 (Calculus I).

Problem sessions

I plan to lecture on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and work out problems together on Wednesday. The problems covered will be instructive in nature, and will attempt to encompass the concepts covered in lecture.

Quizzes

There will be a weekly quiz every Friday (except holidays and weeks in which there is an exam), at the end of the lecture, ten minutes long-closed book, and no calculators! The aim of the quiz is to give you an idea on where you stand as the course progresses. The material tested in quizzes is a good indicator of the nature of problems that will be on the exams. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped, therefore there will be no make up quizzes under any circumstance.

Homeworks

Homework will be assigned weekly (every Friday) 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 in groups, however, in the end you ought to write up your own solutions. When submitting a homework, follow these guidelines! No late homework will be accepted. Lowest homework score will also be dropped. From each homework set, only three problems will be graded. Each problem is graded out of 3 points: 3-very good, 2-some little mistake, 1-some work toward a solution, 0-forget about it.

Exam Schedule (Tentative)

• Exam 1: Friday, February 20, 2009 (Solutions: [pdf])
• Exam 2: Friday, April 3, 2009 (Solutions: [pdf])
• Final Exam: Tuesday, May 5, 2009, 1.00-3.00 p.m., same room as the lecture (Solutions: [pdf])

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

Make-up Policy

I follow the department's policy to not offer make-up exams unless there is a strong excuse (life circumstances that are impossible to avoid) for missing the exam. In other cases, please feel free to contact me in advance.

Help

If you made it without a problem to Calculus II, then with work (amount of which may vary from one student to another depending on the background) everyone can get a satisfactory score. My advice is the following:

• Come to class if you can, and try to understand as much as you can. One way of making the class more accessible is to come prepared. Read the section in advance to get some idea of what is going to be covered. If you can't follow, it is not the end of the world.
• Make sure that you dedicate every evening, at least one (serious) hour to reading the notes together with the book, going over/doing examples covered in class and on the book, and understanding them. (Important: The notes must be mastered.) Then close the notes and the book and attempt only those homework problems that pertain to the section studied. If there are problems, reiterate the process. If you find it hard, don't get discouraged as you are not alone.
• If there are still gaps, come to my office hours and ask questions. If you need more help than the office hour can give you, do not be discouraged to ask me for other times. I may be busy, but will try my best to find time for you; the worst that can happen is that I will ask you to come at another time. Also, don't leave getting help for the last moment.
• Additionally, you can get help from a Tutor (free of charge) 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 (20%), exams (20% 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.
