Texts

Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 1st ed. ISBN: 1429210753., by Jon Rogawski; published by W. H. Freeman and Company; 2008.

Subject Material

: We shall cover parts of chapters 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 of the text, as well as a course supplement .

Lecture

: Attending the lecture is a fundamental part of the course; you are responsible for material presented in the lecture whether or not it is discussed in the textbook. You should expect questions on the exams that will test your understanding of concepts discussed in the lecture.

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.

Calculators:

Calculator use will not be permitted on exams. Graphing calculators (such as the TI-86 or TI-89) may prove useful in checking solutions to some of the homework problems, but they are not required for the course.

Exams

There will be two midterms and a final exam.

  • Final Exam: December 6th, Tuesday, 11:30-2:30. Place: LEDDN AUD

  • Midterms: Will be hold during the lecture. Check the schedule for the dates.

  • Student ID is required to take the exams. Students without ID will not be allowed to take the exams.

  • Sample exams : (Note that even though in the sample exams calculator is allowed, NO calculator will be allowed in our exams).

    • Midterm 1: Sample1, Sample2 Solutions: S1, S2 Solution to the first Midterm: Blue , Green , Yellow
    Midterm 2: Sample1, Sample2 Solutions: S1, S2 Solution to the second Midterm: Version 1 , Version 2 , Version 3
    Final: Sample1, Sample2 Solutions: S1, S2  

  • No (absolutely) make-up exams. No calculators during the exams.

    • Homework

    There will be weekly homework assignments. Homework should be turned (are due) in at the end of each Thursday's discussion section. Written homework #n is due in discussion Thursday of week #n+1, for n=1, ..., 10.

  • Late homework will not be accepted.

  • It is very important that you do all the homework, since it is almost impossible to learn the subject matter without doing many problems.

  • We encourage you to work together on the exercises. Any assignment, though, should represent your own work. Check Academic Integrity Guidelines for more information.

    • Schedule

    The course schedule is available. Check the schedule page regularly, because it is subject to change (especially those portions currently far in the future).
