Syllabus:

  Venue: The class meets in 120 Clapp Tuesday and Thursday from 8:35 to 9:50, and Friday from 9:00 to 9:50.

Text: James Stewart, Single Variable Calculus, fourth edition, Brooks/Cole, 1999.

Course description: We will cover most of Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 in Stewart. The material includes transcendental functions, techniques and applications of integration, numerical integration, and the representation of functions by power series. We may include other topics, depending on time availability and student interest.

Homework: Several homework problems will be assigned in each lecture. Homework will not be collected, but doing the homework is essential to learning the material in the course.

Quizzes: Except in exam weeks, there will be a quiz in each Friday class meeting. Problems on the quizzes will be very similar to recent homework problems.

Exams: There will be three hour exams during the semester, probably during the weeks of February 19, March 26, and April 23. There will be a comprehensive final exam during final examination period.

Technology: You will need a graphing calculator for this course. I strongly recommend the TI-85, TI-83, or TI-89. If you have another calculator, you will need to have access to its instruction manual. In particular, you will need to know how to use your calculator to evaluate partial sums of sequences.

Grading: Your two lowest quiz grades will be dropped, and the remaining grades will be weighted as follows to determine your grade for the course:

Quiz average25%
Hour Exam average  45%
Final Exam grade30%

Resources: My office hours are listed on my web page (www.mtholyoke.edu/~quenell); you are welcome to make an appointment to talk with me at other times. The mathematics department sponsors walk-in tutoring on Sunday through Thursday evenings in Clapp. Information about homework assignments, meeting times, and impending hour exams may be found at the website

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.
