<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will compute limits and derivatives using techniques
|
|
developed during the semester.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will apply limits and derivatives to practical problems
|
|
including optimization, motion, and related rates.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will connect the concepts of approximation and limit to
|
|
geometric questions which generate the definitions of
|
|
asymptote, derivative, and tangent line.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will relate the derivative and integral and use this
|
|
relationship to compute basic integrals.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will become a more independent mathematician, exploring
|
|
concepts and solving problems that are foundational to future
|
|
coursework.

<title>Topics Covered</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

<title>Textbook</title>

<p>
|
|
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
|
|
<url href="https://cengage.com/unlimited/">Cengage Unlimited</url>.
|
|
There are also
|
|
<url href="https://cst.temple.edu/department-mathematics/undergraduate/courses/supplementary-videos">videos for this course here</url>.

|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<title>Technology</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

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.

<title>Quizzes</title>

<p>
|

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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Quizzes will be somewhat challenging.
|
|
The best way to prepare is to stay up to date on the homework exercises.

<title>Exams</title>

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.

<title>Expectations for Class Conduct</title>

<p>
|

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.

<title>Disability Statement</title>

<p>

Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a

documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability
|
|
Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm
|
|
420 ( <url href="mailto:drs@temple.edu">drs@temple.edu</url>;
|
|
215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the
|
|
resources available to you.
|
|
If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would
|
|
like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as
|
|
practical.
|
|
I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable
|
|
accommodations for all students with documented disabilities.
|
|
All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add

deadline date.

Check the

for exact dates.

<p>
|
|
During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of
|
|
the class appearing on their transcript.
|
|
Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during
|
|
this period.
|
|
In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may
|
|
withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their
|
|
transcript.
|
|
After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses.

The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) is not

|
permitted in this class unless specifically announced for a particular
|
|
assignment; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be
|
|
considered a violation of Temple University's Academic Honesty policy
|
|
and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own.
|
|
The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in a grade of zero on the
|
|
assignment; a second offense will be reported to the Student Conduct
|
|
Board.

<title>Incomplete Grades</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
