Office Hours: M-F 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM (office) or by appointment.
Prerequisites: Math C075 or C085 with a grade C or better or an equivalent transfer.
Textbook: CALCULUS, 3rd edition.
Course Goals: The goal of this course is to help students develop a clear understanding of the ideas of calculus as a basis for subsequent courses in mathematics and other disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on the meaning and interpretation of formulas being used, not merely using them.
Topics Covered: Mathematics 0076 is an intuitive treatment of calculus with an emphasis on applications rather than theory. Topics include the definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques and applications of integration, integrals of logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions, improper integrals, and application of integration to differential equations.
Course Grading: Test 1 (25%), Test 2 (25%), Test 3 (25%), Quizzes/Homework (25%).
Exam Dates: Approximate dates: Test 1 (5/27), Test 2 (6/14), Test 3 (6/28).
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Consequences for unexcused absences will be disclosed to those who have them. Undue lateness will be considered an unexcused absence.
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.
