Course Goals: To teach students integral calculus and differentical equations.
Topics Covered: Math C076 is an intuitive treatment of integral calculus. Topics include the definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals and an introduction to differential equations.
Course Grading: Grading will be based on 3 in-class exams (noncumulative) plus homework quizzes/homework. The quizzes/homework will count for 25% of your grade. Of the three exam scores, the worst will count for 15% and the remaining two for 30% each. The quizzes will be homework based. Quizzes will be given once or twice a week, the precise dates will be announced in class. Tentatively, expect a total of 8 quizzes, 2 of which will be dropped. All homework will be collected on the day of the test and will be checked for completeness. Homework must be neat. The details will be discussed in class.
Exam Dates: Test 1: Wednesday, 06/01/05, Test 2: Tuesday, 06/14/05, Test 3: Tuesday, 06/28/05.
Attendance Policy: Attendance will be taken into account for any borderline averages at the end of the session. Please be aware that missing quizzes will affect your overall score. There will be no makeup quizzes without documentation. A unexcused missed quiz will be counted as a dropped quiz.
Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation as soon as possible. Contact Disability Resources and Services at (215) 204-1280, 100 Ritter Annex, to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here.
Students will be charged for a course unless a withdrawal form is processed by a registration office of the University by the Drop/Add deadline date given below. For this semester, the crucial dates are as follows:
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.
