Required Text Calculus Eighth Edition by Larson Hostetler and Edwards

Course Description The topics covered in this course include applications of the integral, techniques of integration, exponential and logarithmic functions, hyperbolic functions, and inverse trigonometric functions.

Course Objectives The successful student will

exhibit a proficiency in the topics covered in the course;
engage in logical and critical thinking;
read technical information; and
demonstrate the solution to problems by translating written language into mathematical statements, interpreting information, sketching relevant diagrams, analyzing given information, formulating appropriate mathematical statements, and checking and verifying results

Prerequisite A grade of C or better in Math 105 or equivalent.

Grading Policy Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of possible points.

A 90 -- 100% C 70 -- 79%

B 80 -- 89% D 60 -- 69%

Homework: .........................................Е.150 points

Midterm 1: Jan 25.....................Е..Е......150 points

Midterm 2: Feb 16................................Е150 points

Midterm 3: Mar 16.....................ЕЕ..Е.150 points

Final Exam: Mar 20............................Е....400 points

Exam Policy Students are to bring calculators, pencils or pens, and paper to each exam. Grading will based on the progress towards the final answer, and the demonstration of understanding of the concept that is being tested, therefore, work must be shown in detail. Any student who cannot make it to an exam may elect to take the exam up to two days before the exam is scheduled. If all homework is completed and no more than three homework assignments are counted late, then the midterm with the lowest score will be dropped.

Homework Policy Homework will be turned in at the end of class on the date due. If a student has additional questions, that student may see me after class in my office and then turn in the homework by 4:30 PM on the date due. Homework that is turned in within one week of the due date will be counted as half credit. Homework may be turned later than one week after the due date, but points will not be awarded. At the beginning of each class, a 2 to 5 minute quiz will be given. Each quiz will count as 20% of the homework assignment and cannot be made unless there is a medical excuse.

Extra Credit Any student who has turned in every homework assignment may elect to work on an extra credit assignment or project that will count as additional points towards either a midterm or the final.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN A MATH CLASS

Come to every class meeting.
Arrive early, get yourself settled, spend a few minutes looking at your notes from the previous class meeting, and have you materials ready when class starts.
Read each section before it is discussed in class
Do some math every day.
Start preparing for the tests at least a week in advance.
Spend about half of your study time working with your classmates.
Take advantage of tutors and office hours, extra help can make a big difference.
