Course: Math 10C
Title: Calculus
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: Math 10B or equivalent
Catalog Description: Vector geometry, velocity, and acceleration vectors.
Textbook: Calculus, fourth edition, by Deborah Hughes-Hallett, Andrew M. Gleason,
et. al.; published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2005
Subject Material: We will cover parts of Chapters 8, 9, 10, and 12 - 15 of the
text. See the homework page for a complete listing of sections we
will cover.
Reading: Reading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the assigned
homework exercises is considered part of the homework assignment; you are responsible for material
in the assigned reading whether or not it is discussed in the lecture. It will be
expected that you read the assigned material in advance of each lecture.
Calculus Tutoring Lab:
A tutoring lab for Calculus students will be open 10 to 12 hours daily Monday
through Friday in APM B402. There will usually be at least 2 tutors and/or TAs available
to help with homework, calculators, and coursework. Take a look at the
schedule
to see when it is open or when your favorite tutor or TA is there.
We strongly recommend that you make use of the
Calculus Tutoring Lab.
Calculators: A graphing calculator (preferably a TI-85 or TI-86) is
recommended. The calculator should be used as an aid in learning concepts, not just as a
means of computation. Help with using TI graphing calculators will be available in the
Calculus Lab. Note: The use of calculators will not be permitted
during exams or quizzes.
Homework: Homework will be assigned on the course
homework page and should be completed by the discussion section on
the indicated due date. Homework will not be collected; your homework will be evaluated
by your performance on periodic quizzes. You should make every effort to complete the
homework assignments and seek help with problems you have not been able to solve. You
can get help with the homework assignments in the
Calculus Tutoring Lab (APM B402).
A Student Solutions Manual (available in the Bookstore) has complete
solutions for odd-numbered problems in the text.
Quizzes: There will be four (4) quizzes given during the lecture
on certain Fridays; please see the course calendar for the dates of the
quizzes. Each quiz will consist of two problems taken directly from the assigned homework
and you will be allowed twenty (20) minutes to complete each quiz. Your cumulative quiz grade
will be based on the best 3 of the 4 quizzes. No notes (or books) or
calculators will be allowed during the quizzes. There will be no makeup quizzes.
Midterm Exams: There will be two (2) midterm exams. See the course calendar for the dates of the midterm exams. You
may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten page of notes with you to each midterm exam.
No calculators will be allowed during the midterm exams.
There will be no makeup exams.
Final Exam: The final examination will be held at the following date and time.
You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final examination.
No calculators will be allowed during the final exam.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot sit for the final examination at its scheduled time.
Grading: Your course grade will be determined by your cumulative average at the end of
the term and will be based on the following scale:
| A+ |
A |
A- |
B+ |
B |
B- |
C+ |
C |
C- |
D |
| 97 |
93 |
90 |
87 |
83 |
80 |
77 |
73 |
70 |
60 |
- Note: The above scale is not intended to be a guarantee: the
instructor may adjust the scale to suit their class.
Your cumulative average will be the best of the following two weighted averages:
- 20% Quizzes, 20% Midterm Exam I, 20% Midterm Exam II, 40% Final Exam
- 20% Quizzes, 20% Best Midterm Exam, 60% Final Exam
In addition, you must pass the final examination in order to pass the course.
Note: Since there are no makeup exams, if you miss an exam for any reason then your course grade
will be computed with the final exam counting 60% of your weighted average.
Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at
UCSD. Students caught cheating will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension
or expulsion from the university.
