+ You will compute limits and derivatives using techniques + developed during the semester. +
++ You will apply limits and derivatives to practical problems + including optimization, motion, and related rates. +
+- See times and location on Canvas -
- ++ You will connect the concepts of approximation and limit to + geometric questions which generate the definitions of + asymptote, derivative, and tangent line. +
++ You will relate the derivative and integral and use this + relationship to compute basic integrals. +
+- To introduce some of the basic concepts and techniques of probability and statistics, as applied in the Life and Environmental Sciences. -
- ++ You will become a more independent mathematician, exploring + concepts and solving problems that are foundational to future + coursework. +
+- Probability theory and descriptive statistics, probability models, introduction to inferential statistics. -
-+ The three central objects of the semester are limits, derivatives, + and integrals. + In studying these objects, we will see the connections between them, + how to compute different types of them, and how to apply such + calculations to some practical problems. +

+ Our course textbook is the 9th Edition of "Calculus: Early
+ Transcendentals" by James Stewart, published by Cengage.
+ Students will also need access to the WebAssign homework platform.
+ Students who are taking more than one class using a Cengage product
+ may instead consider Cengage Unlimited; please see

- You will need a scientific calculator (NOT a graphing calculator and NOT a calculator app on your phone/watch).
- Any calculator capable of symbolic differentiation/integration or performing statistical tests is NOT allowed.
- Scientific calculators (such as the
- You will need a device (phone or tablet) to take pictures of your quizzes/tests and upload your work. -
-+ We will not use any technology - including calculators - to take any + tests or quizzes. + On the other hand, you will need a computer or other device to watch + our course videos, and to turn in homework via WebAssign. + But you want to be in the habit of actually doing your HW exercises + by hand. + If you rely too heavily on copying from an app, you won't learn the + material of the course and it will show on closed book exams. +
+- There will be homework assignments posted on Canvas approximately weekly. - There are more practice problems available in the course notes. - Doing homework problems is the primary way that you will learn and internalize the material seen in class. - Plan to spend a substantial amount of time throughout the semester doing homework problems. + A list of homework problems from the textbook will be distributed. + Problems will be assigned. + Homework will be collected via WebAssign; the problems on WebAssign are + slightly modified versions of the problems from the front page of the + general list.
-- There will be in-class quizzes every other week (on Sep 1, Sep 15, Oct 13, Oct 27, Dec 1). - Quizzes give you some practice in a test-like environment without the same grade pressure as a test. - The quizzes should be a signal to you about whether you're keeping up with the pace of the course. + There will be a 20-25 min. + quiz every other week (when there is no midterm): 9/1, 9/15, 9/29, + 10/20, 11/3, 12/1. + Each quiz will consist of a few problems similar to the ones assigned + from the textbook. + There will be no make up quizzes. + The lowest quiz score will be dropped to accommodate whatever situations + that may arise.
- You may use an allowed calculator during quizzes. + Quizzes will be somewhat challenging. + The best way to prepare is to stay up to date on the homework exercises.
This course will have two midterm exams and a Final Exam. - Exams are the main opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of course material. -
- -- You may use an allowed calculator and a 3 in x 5 in index card with prepared notes during exams. - You are allowed to write on both sides of the index card. - You should include your full name in the top right corner of your index card. - Your index card will be turned in along with your exam. + Exams are the main opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding + of course material.

+- There are no quiz or exam makeups. - The lowest quiz will be dropped and replaced with the recitation score. + There will be no regularly scheduled make up exams. + In the case of a DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY that prevents a student from + taking a test as scheduled, the student must contact their instructor + and the course coordinator immediately in order to discuss alternative + arrangements.
- Attendance is expected and will be recorded. - If you need to miss a class for some reason, it is your responsibility to get notes from another student for any material you've missed, and to arrange to turn in/make up any in-class or collected work. + Attendance is required. + Students who miss more than 6 MWF classes (4 TR classes) without an + excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). + Those who miss more than 12 MWF classes (8 TR classes) without an excuse + will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.
- To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to the course requirements. - However, if you have tested positive for or are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. - It is the student's responsibility to contact me to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as you are able to do so, and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion. + To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate + in classes, according to the course requirements. + However, if you have tested positive for or are experiencing symptoms of + a contagious illness, you should not come to campus or attend in-person + classes or activities. + It is the student's responsibility to contact me to create a plan for + participation and engagement in the course as soon as you are able to do + so, and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion.
- It is important to foster a respectful and productive learning environment that includes all students in our diverse community of learners. - Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning experience. - Therefore, all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse. + It is important to foster a respectful and productive learning + environment that includes all students in our diverse community of + learners. + Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's + nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning + experience. + Therefore, all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or + controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant + spirit of academic discourse.

- The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control.
- It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed.
- The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline.
