Prerequisites: Math 1041 (Calculus I) with a grade of C or better or transfer credits for Math 1041.
Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart; 8th Edition, Cengage Learning. Important: together with the textbook you need to have access to WebAssign because part of your homework will be assigned there. IF YOU TOOK MATH 1041 IN THE FALL 2015, YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE THIS BOOK AND THE WebAssign ACCESS. If it is not the case, you can purchase a standalone WebAssign Instant Access (it is called Enhanced WebAssign Instant Access for Calculus, Multi-Term Courses, 1st Edition) and use the electronic version of the textbook (eBook). Or you can purchase the ePack that contains both the paper textbook and the WebAssign Instant Access. The publisher (Cengage) created a special site for Temple students where you can buy either of these two versions for a discounted price ($121 for the standalone access and about $143 for the ePack): http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/1-24LRN4Z You can also buy the ePack at the Main Campus Temple Bookstore (http://www.temple.edu/bookstore) but it will cost more. Please DO NOT buy any EARLIER edition of this book. Please also DO NOT buy any used books since they will not let you access WebAssign (the WebAssign codes ARE NOT transferable).
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: Review 1 (WA assignment) - 1%, Review 2 (WA assignment) - 1%, Homework assigned on WA - 4%, Quiz Average - 12%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 34%.
Exam Dates: We will have two common midterms: Test 1: Tuesday, February 16, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM (the room to be announced); Test 2: Tuesday, April 5, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM (the room to be announced), and the comprehensive common Final Exam: Thursday, April 28, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM (the room to be announced).
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss 3 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss 6 classes without an excuse 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 from Additional Homework Problems document 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. Your result for the WA part of the homework will be counted as 4% of your Course Average. You also MUST do the other part of the homework in book (boxed problems in the homework list) by writing out your solutions; this part is an important basis for three exams.
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 score for the quizzes given before Exam 2, will be dropped.
Review Assignments: You will have two review assignments on WA: Review 1 (on derivatives and antiderivatives) will be given on the first week of the semester and Review 2 (on limits) will be given right before we start Chapter 11 on infinite series. The grade for each review assignment will be counted as 1% of your Course Average.
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 the course coordinator 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.
Common Final Exam: Final exam will be held on Thursday, April 28, from 3:30 PM to 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.

Exam Security Policy: Under no circumstances is the use of personal electronic devices such as phones, computers, smart watches allowed during exams. All such items must be stowed away and out of sight for the duration of the exam. Any student found with such a device during an exam will not be allowed to complete the test, will receive a score of ZERO for the test, and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board. In addition, under no circumstances, will students be allowed to bring in any kind of papers for use during the exam. Should a student need extra paper during a test, the proctor will provide it. Any student found using papers that they themselves brought into the exam will not be allowed to complete the test, will receive a score of ZERO for the test, and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board.

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 dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date given below.

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.
