Course Goals: To teach techniques of integration and applications of definite integrals and infinite series.
Topics Covered: The definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, applications of the definite integral, techniques of integration, improper integrals, sequences and series, including power and Taylor series.
Course Grading: Your course grade will be computed according to the following scheme: Homework assigned on Homework/WebAssign - 4%, Quiz Average - 10%, Project and Presentation - 4%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 34%.
Exam Dates: Test 1: Wednesday, February 18, 5:50 pm--7:20 pm, Test 2: Wednesday, April 8, 5:50 pm--7:20 pm. and the comprehensive common Final Exam: Thursday, April 30, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm (the room to be announced).
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss 6-11 classes without a documented excuse, will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from C to C-); who miss 12-23 classes, will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.
Calculator Policy: NO CALCULATORS may be used during the exams and most of the quizzes.
Homework: Homework will be regularly assigned from the textbook and will be the basis for the weekly quizzes. A part of that assigned homework you will do using the WA (WebAssign). It will be graded by the computer. You will also be required to turn in part of the assigned homework. Your result for the WA part of the homework and hand in homework will be counted as 4% of your Course Average.
Quizzes: There will be a 20-25 min. quiz every week (when there is no midterm). Each quiz will consist of 4-5 problems similar to the ones assigned from the textbook. There will be no make up quizzes. The lowest two scores for the quizzes given before Exam 2, will be dropped.
Presentation: You will be required to do a small group project and give a presentation on a topic related to the material in this course. There are two primary pieces: a short written paper and a 10 minute presentation with the goal of explaining your topic to your classmates. The presentations will take place during the last week of classes.
Make Up Policy: There will be NO MAKE UP exams except in the case of a DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY, like an illness or an accident. The documents confirming the emergency (from a hospital or police) must be provided. If you miss an exam, you must contact me (your instructor) or Professor Boris Datskovsky by e-mail right away. All make ups must be taken within two days of the exam date.
Blackboard: This is a registered Blackboard course. Please go there often not to miss important announcements.
Final Exam: Final exam will be held on Thursday, April 30 (3:30 PM -- 5:30 PM). Please note that if you miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in, your grade for the course will be F.

During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester or summer sessions, students may withdraw from a course with no record of the class appearing on the transcript. In weeks three through nine of the fall or spring semester, or during weeks three and four of summer sessions, the student may withdraw with the advisor's permission. The course will be recorded on the transcript with the instructor's notation of "W," indicating that the student withdrew. After week nine of the fall or spring semester, or week four of summer sessions, students may not withdraw from courses. No student may withdraw from more than five courses during the duration of his/her studies to earn a bachelor's degree. A student may not withdraw from the same course more than once. Students who miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in will be graded F.

The grade I (an "incomplete") is reserved for extreme circumstances. It is necessary to have completed almost all of the course with a passing average and to file an incomplete contract specifying what is left for you to do. To be eligible for an I grade you need a good reason and you should have missed not more than 25% of the first nine weeks of classes. If approved by the Mathematics Department chair and the CST Dean's office, the incomplete contract must include a default grade that will be used in case the I grade is not resolved within 12 months.
