Venue: The class meets in L1 Cleveland Tuesday and Thursday from 2:40 to 3:55, and Friday from 3:15 to 4:05. Text: James Stewart, Single Variable Calculus, fourth edition, Brooks/Cole, 1999. Course description: We will cover most of Chapters 1 through 5 and the beginning of Chapter 7 in Stewart. The material includes basic mathematical modelling, the concept of a limit, derivatives and rates of change, applications of the derivative, differentiation techniques, integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus, and logarithmic and exponential functions. We may include other topics, depending on time availability and student interest. Homework: Several homework problems will be assigned in each Tuesday and Thursday lecture. Homework will be collected on Tuesdays, at the beginning of the class meeting. No late homework will be accepted. Exams: There will be four hour exams during the semester. They will be take-home, self-timed exams. The exams will be made available at the end of class on the following Thursdays: September 27, October 18, November 8, and November 29. Each exam will be due at 5:00 pm on the day after it is handed out. There will be a comprehensive final exam during final examination period. Quizzes: Except in exam weeks, there will be a ten-minute quiz during each Thursday class meeting. Problems on the quizzes will be very similar to recent homework problems. Grading: Your lowest quiz grade and your lowest hour exam grade will be dropped, and the remaining grades will be weighted as follows to determine your grade for the course: Homework grade 20% Quiz average 20% Hour Exam average   40% Final Exam grade 20% Resources: My office hours are listed above; you are welcome to make an appointment to talk with me at other times. Information about homework assignments, meeting times, and impending hour exams (just for this section) may be found at the website www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/quenell/f2001/ma101/ Issues of Academic Integrity: You are encouraged to collaborate with your classmates on homework assignments, as long as the information flow goes both ways. No collaboration will be allowed on quizzes or exams. On certain exams you may be permitted to use a graphing calculator, with some restrictions (for instance, you can't use the calculator's memory to store formulas or other information from your notes or the textbook). I will announce the calculator policy for each exam; be sure you understand it before beginning the exam.
