Instructor: Text: Oce: Oce Hours: Phone: Email: Final Exam: Deanna Haunsperger Stewarts Calculus, Sixth Ed, Early Transcendentals, Brooks/Cole CMC 228 MW 1:50-2:50, T 10-11, Th 11-12, or by appt. x4362 dhaunspe Monday, March 14, 8:10 - 11 a.m. OR Saturday, March 12, 3:30-6 p.m.

Content: Calculus is the language of the sciences. Through calculus we see the relationship between velocity and position, we can calculate the average of a continuous function, we can compute the area or volume of a curved shape, we can approximate very complicated functions with (of all things) our friends the polynomials, and many other things. Through lecture and collaborative work we will continue our investigation of the integral. We will also spend some time looking at sequences and series. As far as the text, we will be covering parts of Chapters 7, 8, and 11. Homework: Daily homework will be assigned and will be collected at the beginning of the next class period. Daily assignments submitted late will not be graded. These procedures are to encourage you to work on homework the day it is assigned. Using Mathematica: Near the end of the term you will be introduced to the software package Mathematica. This software is found on most machines around campus. It is a powerful tool for doing complicated calculations and computer-aided investigation. Exams: You will have three exams: two midterms and a nal. A well-documented excuse made in advance of a midterm is a necessary, but not sucient, condition to earn a make-up exam. Grades: Your course grade will be determined from your work during the term using the following weights: Midterms 30% each, Daily Homework 10%, and Final 30%. Sources of Help: It is very dicult to get caught up in a math course; therefore, you should try your best to avoid falling behind. If you are having diculty with a concept, ask during class or come see me. In the evening (or during the day), you can try the Math Skills Center which is open until 11:00 p.m. every night except Saturdays. Russ and the tutors are wonderful. Collaboration and Honesty: You may talk with others and work with others all you want on daily homework assignments. You may not, however, copy anyone elses work. Especially ingenius or unusual ideas used to solve problems should be credited if they are not your own. You must work alone on exams. I require academic honesty. Intellectual integrity demands that we give credit where credit is due.
