Venue: The class meets in 401 Clapp Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 to 12:15, and Friday from 2:15 to 3:00. Text: James Stewart, Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals, fifth edition, Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2002. Course description: We will cover most of chapters 1 through 5 in Stewart. The material includes the concept of a function, exponential functions and logarithms, limits and continuity, rates of change, the definition and some applications of the derivative, linearization, Newton's approximation, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Homework: Several homework problems will be assigned in each lecture. Homework will be due on Friday afternoons at 4:00. Late homework will not be accepted for grading. Quizzes: There will be a ten-minute quiz in each Friday class (exclusive of exam weeks). Problems on the quizzes will be very similar to recent homework problems. There will be no make-up quizzes; however, your two lowest quiz grades will not count. Exams: We will have hour exams on September 26, October 24, and November 21. There will be a comprehensive final exam during final examination period. Technology: In general, you may use a graphing calculator on all quizzes and exams in this course. On your homework, you may use a calculator or computer, if you like. Please indicate on your homework where a calculator or computer was used. Grading: Your two lowest quiz grades will be dropped, and the remaining grades will be weighted as follows to determine your numeric grade for the course: Quiz average   20% Homework average   20% Hour Exam average   40% Final Exam grade   20% Your letter grade for the course will be determined from your numeric grade as follows. If your numeric grade is above 95 90 88 82 80 78 72 70 60 your letter grade will be at least A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D The cut-off points for assigning letter grades will depend on the distribution of final numeric grades. Your final letter grade may be higher than the grade indicated above, but it will not be lower. Resources: My office hours are listed on the Instructor page of this website; you are welcome to make an appointment to talk with me at other times. The mathematics department sponsors walk-in tutoring in Clapp 401 or 402 on Sunday through Thursday evenings. 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.
