Engineering Calculus II. Differentiation and integration techniques and their applications (area, volumes, work), improper integrals, approximate integration, analytic geometry, vectors, infinite series, power series, Taylor series, computer algebra. Prerequisite: MATH 151 or equivalent. Policies: 1. Attendance: Come to every class and be on time. You are responsible for finding out what you miss. There will be pop quizzes during the lecture AND recitation classes. There is no make-up for any missed quiz. If the total number of quizzes during the semester is high enough, the instructor might consider dropping the lowest attended quiz grade when computing the quiz average. In such a situation, a zero resulting from any unattended unexcused quiz can never be dropped. 2. Grading: Grades will not be curved, nor will extra credit be awarded. There will be no personal assignments or exams at any time during the semester, in particular after the final exam. The categories of assessments are weighted as follows: Letter Grades: WebAssign 5% A = %

2 Quizzes (Q) 12% B = 80-89% Mathlab Mathlab project 4% 4% C = 70-79% Midterm 1 (E1) 20% Midterm 2 (E2) 20% D = 60-69% Final Exam 3 (E3) 35% F < 60% Note: Do WebAssign as daily study for each midterm. There will be announced and pop quizzes during the class and recitation to assess your learning prior to each midterm. If you get high WA scores but low quiz and/or midterm scores, then it is quite apparent that you didn t master the material from doing the homework, and that you: (a) need to see me for a study skills tune up immediately and (b) do your homework independently, without a calculator and for learning, not for points. 3. How this course works: This course is a combination of online learning (e-learning) and faceto-face learning (f2f-learning). The problem solving will be done in class/recitation (face-toface). Homework will have both an online component (WebAssign) and a face-to-face component (discussion in class). Students will have to read the sections of the book to be taught in class before the class, will take notes and record their questions at home and then discuss questions, solve problems and be assessed in class. The course is divided into 4 sets of topics. For each set, you may have WebAssign, Quizzes, a Midterm Exam, as well as Matlab. Note: You are responsible for remembering your own due dates. Math 152 students are expected to have mastered all aspects of precalculus and differential calculus. The expectation is that students with weak backgrounds will fill in any gaps outside of class. Of course, you will have my assistance, direction and resources. Bring all materials (notes, laptops and TI-nspire calculators) to all lectures and recitations. 4. Seek help: Ask questions every day. Come to office hours with questions prepared in advance: Please do not attend to your mobile during office hours. Keep it on silent and out of sight. Do not come empty-handed to office hours nor ask me to open the WA question or lecture notes or textbook for you. Bring a list of issues you want clarified in a small notebook or on a post-it, etc. Have a hard copy (not on the laptop) of the WebAssign or assignment question you wish to ask, along with all the working out you have done on the question so far. 5. Mobile Phones: Please keep mobile phones on silent or turned off, and kept out of sight during class. Do not engage in any mobile phone function out of respect for the instructor as well as the learning environment for your peers and yourself.

3 6. and Website: Check your university account and the announcements page of my website EVERY day. You are responsible for all information sent via or posted on my site. 7. Make-Up Policy: No make-ups will be given without written evidence of an official University excused absence. (See University Student Rules.) According to Section 7.3 of the University Student Rules, for an absence to be considered excused, the student must notify his or her instructor in writing (acknowledged message is acceptable) prior to the date of absence if such notification is feasible. In cases where advance notification is not feasible (e.g. accident or emergency) the student must provide notification by the end of the second working day after the absence. This notification should include an explanation of why notice could not be sent prior to the class. If no such notice is given, the rights to a make-up are forfeited. In addition (and also in accordance with University Student Rules), a written excuse must be presented upon return to class. Specifically, in the case of illness or injury, students are required to obtain a confirmation note from a health care professional affirming date and time of a medical office visit regarding the illness or injury. 8. Scholastic Dishonesty: You are encouraged to work together on the suggested homework problems, but do not copy another student s work on any graded assignment. Copying work done by others, either in or out of class, is an act of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent allowed by University policy. Always abide by the Aggie Code of Honor: An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do. Please refer to Honor Council Rules and Procedures at for more information on academic integrity and scholastic dishonesty. 9. Copyright Policy: All printed materials including (but not limited to) handouts, quizzes, exams, and information found on the web are protected by copyright laws. One copy (or download from the web) is allowed for personal use. The sale of any of these materials is strictly prohibited and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 10. ADA Policy Statement: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal antidiscrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Department of Student Affairs Counseling & Wellness Program or call or at dsa@qatar.tamu.edu. 11. Learning Objectives: By the end of this course, students will Determine and evaluate integrals using techniques of integration. Apply integrals to a variety of engineering problems. Perform vector operations in 3-dimensions, including dot and cross products. Convert between Cartesian and polar coordinate systems. Use Matlab computer algebra system to solve nonroutine problems. Use infinite series to numerically evaluate or approximate functions and estimate errors of approximation.
