Pre-requisite: A grade of C or better in Calculus I, with a reasonable knowledge of trig identities and derivative formulas. You should have also covered sections 6.2 and 6.3 on anti-derivatives.

 

Method of Evaluation: Your final grade in the course is based on:

 

1. Quizzes & Homework (100 pts)

2. Two midterm exams (100 points each):

         Exam 1 – Thursday, September 24;

         Exam 2 – Thursday, November 5.       

     

3. FINAL EXAM (150 points) – comprehensive exam - TBA.

 

Grade-scale: The following percentages will guarantee the associated grade:

             > 90  : A    80-85 : B     65-75 : C      < 50 : F

             88-90 : A-   78-80 : B-    55-65 : D   

             85-88 : B+   75-78 : C+    50-55 : D-

 

NO MAKEUP QUIZZES OR EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. If you have a documented medical or professional excuse for missing an exam, that percentage of your grade may be made up on the final.

Attendance: Optional, but I hope you will find it useful to be in class.

Calculator: You may use one for your homework, but generally won’t need one, and will not be allowed one during exams.

Drop deadline: Friday, October 16. Remember, if stop attending classes and don't wish to get an F, you must drop by this date.

Topics to be covered: Most of Chapters 6, 7, 8, 10, 11. Suggested homework assignments will be given at the end of each class and recorded on the website. You have to check the web page often for updates. You are expected to spend a minimum of 15 hours a week outside of class on homework and reading the corresponding sections of the text. DO NOT fall behind. This is a very dense course.
