Course Description

After a brief prelude to Calculus, we will begin with the analysis of function of one variable: concepts of limits, differentiation, and integration. Using these ideas we learn to qualitatively describe functions and to use derivative and integral information of functions modeling "real world" situations to solve minimization problems, related rates problems, find areas, volumes, etc. (Chapters 1-6 of the text)

Key Words: differentiation, integral, Newton's method, extreme points, area, volume, natural logarithm, exponential, fundamental theorem of calculus.

Grading Policy

There will be three hour exams, each worth 100 points, and a final exam worth 200 points.   Homework/Quiz will be worth 100 points.   Out of 600 possible points, you need to earn 540 points or better for the grade of A- or higher,  480 points for the grade of B- or higher, 420 points for C- or higher, 360 points or better for a passing grade.

Homework/Quiz

Homework problems will be assigned in each class hour.  They are not to be collected, but your understanding of the relevant material will be tested through weekly quiz on the Wednesday of the following week.  There will be 10 to 12 quizzes depending upon the time allowance throughout the semester.   There will be no make-up quizzes for any absences, but I will count only 8 highest quiz grades for the homework/quiz part of the course grade. 

Exams

Attendance at the exams is mandatory!  If you have a conflict, let me know as soon as you learn about the conflict - before the exam. Only then you will be allowed to take a make-up exam.

The dates are :

  • Exam 1 :          Feb 23rd

  • Exam 2 :          March 30th

  • Exam 3:           Arpil 27th

  • Final Exam:          Monday, May 16th 8:30-11:30

Attendance:  

It's crucial that you attend every calculus course.  Therefore, I will take attendance once a week.  It will be on random dates, but it will be recorded.  Your attendance record will not have a direct contribution toward your grade for the course, but it MIGHT help in the end - borderline grades might benefit from a good attendance record.

Accommodation

Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak with me during the first two weeks of class. All discussions will remain confidential. Students with disabilities should also contact Academic Services.
