1 MTH 1310 Calculus and Analytic Geometry Fall Syllabus Instructor: Paul Schrader Office: MS 350C Office Phone: Course Web page: Canvas/WebAssign(see below) Class Time & Location: M-F 8:30-9:20PM, MS 238 Office Hours: T 9:30-11:00AM,Th 9:30-11:00AM or by appointment Textbook: James Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals 7E Course Description: The course begins with a review of necessary pre-calculus concepts. Next we will develop the concepts of the limit, continuity and the derivative of functions. This is followed by a study of the techniques of differentiation including derivatives of trigonometric and exponential functions, the chain rule and implicit differentiation. Then we will study the applications of the derivative including related rates, linear approximations, exponential growth and decay, max./min. values, the MVT, l'hopital's rule, curve sketching, optimizations and Newton's method. Our study of integral calculus begins with the concept of the antiderivative followed by the construction of the definite integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, indefinite integrals, the substitution method and several applications of both definite and indefinite integrals. Attendance/Class participation: Please note that mandatory attendance will be taken for the first two days of class as required by BGSU. I expect you to attend every class, take notes and pay attention. Active participation is encouraged such as answering questions in class, asking good questions in class and presenting homework solutions. This will greatly enhance your ability to both grasp and command the material. No cell/smart phone activity will be permitted during the class periods. Homework: Homework will be assigned regularly and is essential to understanding the material. This will consist of both turned in assignments and suggested exercises. Work on material outside of class. Carefully read the textbook before the content is presented in class. The attached weekly syllabus will aid you in knowing what to read for specific lecture days. I encourage you to work with other students but each student must write up their own solutions independently for turned in assignments. No late homework will be accepted! Quizzes: There will be eight quizzes given with the lowest grade of these being dropped. These will be given in class on the specified days of the weekly syllabus with no unauthorized resources allowed. Exams: There will be four exams given on the specified days of the weekly syllabus in class with no unauthorized resources allowed. Make-Up Policy: If you are unable to take an exam or quiz at the scheduled time due to sickness or an emergency, notify me as soon as possible and we will work out an accommodation which is appropriate. If you have a conflicting non-emergency, you must notify me at least two weeks in advance in order to have any possibility of making other arrangements.

2 Grades: Your grade will be determined as follows: 12% Homework 20% Quizzes A 90% - 100% 12% Exam I B 80% - 89% 12% Exam II C 70% - 79% 12% Exam III D 60% - 69% 12% Exam IV F 59% and below 20% Final Exam 100% TOTAL Technology Requirements: The course requires a graphing calculator. The TI-83 or TI-84 is recommended. Canvas is BGSU's learning management system. You were automatically signed up when you registered for this course. You must log on regularly. There will be handouts, grades, announcements, etc. You can access Canvas via your mybgsu portal. See me if you are having trouble or visit BGSU's Technology Support Center(TSC) at WebAssign is an online homework and support site directly linked to the course's textbook. We will be using it for our homework assignments. You will be given a "class key" the first day of class which will allow you to enroll and submit assignments at The class key for this course is: bgsu Getting help: It is your responsibility if you are having trouble understanding the material and there are several resources at your disposal to fulfill this responsibility. - Ask questions about the material during class. -Ask questions to your fellow students outside of class, either in person or on the discussion components of Canvas. -Come to my office during office hours. However, please be prepared with specific questions. -The Learning Commons located on the first floor of the Jerome library is a tutoring center available to all BGSU students in all subjects free of charge. Visit for all the details. Academic Honesty Policy: Any form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in this class and will be dealt with harshly. If detected, this will result in an F for the course and will be reported to the Academic Dean as per the BGSU Academic Code of Conduct.
