However, if you took Calculus I at another school you should take first, 9:30-10:50 T or 11:00-12:20 T (required for math majors and math minors). All others may take the lab, but it is not required. If you are considering double majoring in math, it is recommended that you take the class now. Course website: We will be using Canvas which replaces Blackboard. Go to www.uttyler.edu/canvas to log into Canvas using your regular patriots account. If you have enrolled in the course, you should have access to the course website. Important documents, grades, lecture notes, and announcements will appear on Canvas. Required Texts: Essential Calculus Early Transcendentals 2 nd edition, by James Stewart, Cengage Learning, ISBN # 9781133112280, 2012. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in Math 2413 Calculus I (or the equivalent). Course Description: A study of differentiation and integration of transcendental functions, polar coordinates, techniques of integration, sequences, series and improper integrals. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. Apply the ideas of definite integrals to solve problems of: i. Areas, under curves and between curves ii. Volumes of cylindrically symmetric objects iii. Work, done by a constant or variable force iv. Other assorted applications. (Analytic, critical thinking) 2. Apply the techniques of substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions and tables of anti-derivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals. (Analytic, critical thinking)
3. Describe the meaning of an improper integral. Apply the concepts of limit, convergence and divergence to evaluate some classes of improper integrals. (Analytic, critical thinking, communication) 4. Define sequences and series, and determine convergence or divergence of them. (Critical thinking, communication) 5. Find the Taylor and Maclaurin series to represent elementary functions. Apply Taylor or Maclaurin polynomials to the integration of functions not integrable by conventional methods. (Analytic, critical thinking) 6. Apply the ideas of polar coordinates to find areas and lengths of curves. (Analytic, critical thinking) 7. Persuasively communicate mathematical ideas using clear and concise mathematical language, including terminology, notation and grammar. (Communication) Eighty percent of success is showing up. Woody Allen Attendance Policy: Attendance is mandatory and attendance records will be kept. Notify the professor in advance if you must miss a class, be late for a class or leave early. (Official University Policy: Class attendance is the responsibility of the student. When a student has a legitimate absence, the instructor may permit the student to complete missed assignments. In many cases class participation is a significant measure of performance, and non-attendance may adversely affect a student s grade. When a student s absences become excessive, the instructor may recommend that the student initiate a withdrawal.) Extra Credit: Students with 3 or fewer unexcused absences will receive 5 bonus points added to their lowest test grade. Grading: At the end of the semester, you will find your final grade on my.uttyler.edu. It will also be posted on Canvas. A final course grade of 90% is guaranteed to be at least an A, a final course grade of 80% is guaranteed to be at least a B, a final course grade of 70% is guaranteed to be at least a C, and a final course grade of 60% is guaranteed to be at least a D. All grades below D will be F. However, there are two exceptions. (1) You must have a passing homework average to pass the course. (2) Your course grade cannot exceed your final exam score by more than one letter grade. For example, if you earn a C on the final exam, you cannot receive higher than a B in the class. Summary of grading policy: Your grade will be based on: Homework 10% Quizzes 10% 4 Tests 14% each Final Exam 24% Success is dependent on effort. Sophocles
Homework: Homework will be assigned each class period via the online platform WebWork. You can access the homework assignments at the following link http: //math.uttyler.edu/webwork2/m2414_002_fall2017. Your WebWork username is the same as your Patriots username. For example, if your Patriots email address is janedoe@patriots.uttyler.edu, your WebWork username is janedoe. Your temporary WebWork password is set to uttyler. I recommend you change the password immediately upon logging into WebWork for the first time. More information on logging into and using WebWork will be available on Canvas in a separate document. In general, a new homework assignment will become available on WebWork after each class. It will be due by 5:00 A.M. the following Friday. The WebWork system provides you with instant feedback on your answers, as well as unlimited attempts to complete most problems. You should use this to your advantage. You are required to successfully complete all assigned problems on WebWork. Late homework will NOT be accepted. When computing your final homework grade, I will use your total score on all the WebWork problems. For example, if there are a total of 150 problems throughout the semester, and you successfully complete 120 of them, your homework grade will be 80%. Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted. David Bly Weekly Quizzes: You can expect a quiz every Wednesday, excluding the first week. Also, there will be no quiz during the weeks in which tests are held. To allow for emergencies and necessary absences, the lowest score will be dropped at the end of the semester. Make-ups will not be granted for quizzes. Athletes, please plan to take your quizzes before your trips. Quizzes will be worth 10% of your grade. The quizzes will be easier than the tests. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. Albert Einstein Tests and Final Exams: There will be four tests (14% each) and a final exam (24%). These exams will test your knowledge of the theory and application of calculus based on the lecture and homework. No tests will be dropped. The dates and times of these exams are as follows: Test 1: Wednesday, September 20 Test 2: Wednesday, October 11 Test 3: Wednesday, November 1 Test 4: Wednesday, November 29 Final Exam (Tentative): Wednesday, December 13, 10:15-12:15 Comprehensive No Final Exams will be given early! Plan your winter vacation to start after the exam. Make-ups: Make-ups for documented absences that are required as part of a UT Tyler obligation (e.g. athletes participating in an event, participating in a debate contest, etc.) or for religious observation will be granted. For all make-ups of this type, prior notification of at least one week and documentation are required. Other make-ups are granted only in extreme cases and at the sole discretion of the instructor.
Other Help: Supplemental Instruction (SI): Monday 5:30 6:50 and 3:30 4:50 in RBN 2012 Math Learning Center (MLC): RBN 4021. Free tutoring is available. A schedule will be posted on Canvas. The MLC will open next week. Calculator Policy: No calculators will be allowed on quizzes and tests. I recommend that you don t use them on homework, so as to practice for exams. Cell phones, and other electronic devices: Please set your cell phones to silent mode. If you are expecting an emergency call, please notify the professor in advance, sit near the door, and answer the phone outside. You will not be allowed to wear electronic devices (except hearing aids) during an exam.
