Text: Calculus Lite by Frank Morgan. We will cover most of parts II (The integral), III (Infinite series) and IV (Differential equations). The core material of the course is contained in our textbook.
Homework: Homework can be handed in during class or put in the envelope outside my office door. Graded homework can be picked up any time from the other envelope there. Homework can be redone and handed in again, if done promptly (ie, within a few days). The graders reserve the right not to accept redone homework that is too late.
Graders:
Technology:We will be using the computer programs CALCWIN, ODE Architect, and Journey through Calculus, which are available on the computers in Clapp 402 and some other classrooms. In addition, we expect to be using graphing calculators; in any case these are recommended but not required.
Quizzes and Tests will be on Fridays. There will be two tests and a (self-scheduled) final examination. The week before each exam there will be a quiz. I If you are unable to take a quiz or test for any reason, you should call me right away, preferably before the event. (You can call my answering machine at x2299 at any time, day or night.)
Final project: The class will end with a final project. Students will be divided into groups of two or three to work on an assigned project, which they will present to the class during the last week of classes.
Evening help sessions: Sunday through Thursday 7-10 PM, in Clapp 401, 402 and the surrounding classrooms.
Grading: Each test is 100 points, the final examination is 100 points, and each quiz is between 30 and 40 points. Homework is 100 points, and the final project is 100 points.
