CALCULUS with Review I

MATH 136 (Spring 2005)

Course Description	This is the second half of the year-long sequence replacing Pre-Calculus and Calculus I.  You will have covered the same topics as the Calculus I course at the end of this semester.  As we have done in the previous semester, we use the same text as Calculus I, together with supplementary Pre-Calculus textbook A Companion to Calculus, covering pre-calculus material as needed, at the time it is needed. We will have covered the chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the textbook at the end of the Spring term.  You will be responsible to let me know when we need to stop and review these materials.  You may do so by asking in class, sending an email, or talking to me privately, as you might desire.   Key Concepts of Math 135/136 Sequence : study of functions, limits, slope, differentiation, integration, the fundamental theorem of calculus If you intend to take the full year of Math 135/136, you will receive one unit of credit for each semester.  If you complete 136 successfully (that is, letter grade of C- or better), you will receive a group 1 credit, and Q certification by finishing Q standards in Math 136.  After 135/136 sequence, you will be ready to take Math 152 (Calculus II) course, or any other course that requires Math 151 as prerequisite.
Homework and Daily Schedule	Homework problems will be assigned each class hour, and they will due the following Wednesdays during the class hour. I will not be collecting homework, but we will have weekly quizzes on Wednesdays to test your understanding of the homework material.   I'll be posting homework assignments above in the daily schedule as they are assigned each week. I encourage you to work with other students in the class when solving the homework problems.  Do problems before you look at any solutions!  It helps you to understand the material better, and it will also boost your confidence on the topic.  There will be no excuses given on any missed quizzes.  Instead, I will count only 8 best quiz scores out of possible 10 quizzes.
Exams	There will be three midterm (in class) exams and a scheduled final exam. 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. Exam 1 : Wednesday, February 23rd Exam 2 : Wednesday, March 30th Exam 3 : Wednesday, April 27th Final Exam :  Tuesday, May 17th 8:30-11:30 (A), Saturday, May 14th 8:30-11:30 (C)
Office Hours	If you can't make office hours or you have more questions than time permits let me know. I will gladly meet people outside of office hours. You can e-mail me at jsong@depauw.edu, or you can sometimes reach me by calling my office; the number is (765) 658-4733.
Grading Policy	Homework/Quiz will count as 100 points of the final grade. The three midterms will each be worth 100 points, and the final exam 200 points.
