COURSE OBJECTIVES / STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME

 

General:

·         Improve ability to solve problems and to communicate solutions in a precise manner.

·         Understand the theory and applications of calculus.

·         Solve multi-step problems and perform complex tasks.

·         Develop the capacity for rigorous analytical thought.

 

Specifics:

·         Understand Several applications of the integral.

·         Master the calculus of logarithms, exponential and inverse trigonometric functions.

·         Master several techniques of integration.

·         Develop the ability to test sequences and series for convergence.

·         Understand and be able to use power series representations of functions.

 

GRADING:

There will be four or five one hour exams, each worth 100 points.  There will be a comprehensive final worth 150-200 points.  There also may be scheduled in class or take home quizzes.  Grading will be based on the following percentages, although pluses or minuses may also be used.

 

A         100 – 90

B           89 – 80

C           79 – 70

D           69 – 60

F            59 – 0

 

 

Course Outline:

 

            Chapters 6 – 11 in Swokowski’s text, CALCULUS – The Classic Edition 

      

 

 

Attendance Policy:

 

    Students will take exams and quizzes as scheduled. See schedule for exams on my web page. Quiz dates will be announced in class.

    

 Academic Honesty:

      

           See policy in the Student Handbook

Calculators: No graphing calculators can be used during exams or quizzes.  A mathematical                         calculator with logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions is required.

 

Please turn CELL PHONES OFF during class.

 

 

Special Accommodation:

 

Students with disabilities who believe they may need an accommodation in this class are encouraged to contact Greg Toutges, Coordinator of Disability Services, at 477-2652 (phone) or 477-2047 (TTY), CMU 222 as soon as possible to ensure that accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.

 

Syllabus Addendum on Flooding

 

Flooding this spring may disrupt normal class meetings. If so, the goal will be to complete essential topics in sufficient depth for students to be given credit for Calculus I and to ensure students are properly prepared for any course having a prerequisite of Calculus I.

Missing less than one week will not create a serious problem. I have a priority list of topics we should cover and that can still be accomplished. If more than one week of classes is missed, students may need to study some topics on their own. To prepare for this possibility, all students should print Labs 10-15 and make certain they have a copy of my assignment sheet.

I have added a link under my Math 261 menu titled “Flood Information.” This is where I will inform you of sections you should study, problems you should work on, and which labs, or parts of labs you are responsible for completing.

If classes are cancelled, I will be available for consultations through email. Since I do not wish to assume everyone has specific software or scanners, you may rely on email even though it is not designed for mathematical communications. To help, we will use the following standard notations for mathematical operations.

*=multiplication   Juxtaposition and grouping symbols, ( ), { },[ ], can also be used

/=division

^= exponentiation

Examples:  2*3=2(3)=(2)(3)=6,  (x+2)/3= ,    (x+1)^(2/3)=

 

On the other hand, if you have a recent version of Office Word, it will have the mathematical symbols used above.
