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 OR AFTER 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 (\$125 for the standalone access and about \$144 for the ePack): http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/1636887 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: Wednesday, February 22, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM (the room to be announced); Test 2: Wednesday, April 12, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM (the room to be announced), and the comprehensive common Final Exam: Thursday, May 4, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM (the room to be announced).
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss 6-11 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss 12-17 classe without an excuse will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc. Arriving late to class or leaving early counts as half an absence.
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.
Quizzes: There will be an in-class quiz every week (when there is no midterm). A typical quiz will be 20-30 minutes long and 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.
Review Assignments: You will have two review assignments on WA: Review 1 (on substitution rule, Sections 5.4 and 5.5) will be given on the second 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: Make ups of exams and quizzes will only be given in cases of emergencies (sickness, car accident, a death in the family, etc.) It is the student's responsibility to contact his/her instructor as soon as possible, preferably by e-mail, in the case of a missed exam, documentation of the emergency is required. ALL MAKE UP EXAMS MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN TWO DAYS OF THE EXAM DATE. ALL MAKE UP QUIZZES MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE THE FOLLOWING CLASS DAY. If you know in advance that you cannot be in class on a particular day for a non-emergency reason, such as an academic conference or a religious holiday, you may be able to schedule an alternative quiz date BEFORE the regular in-class quiz. In such situations, you must contact your instructor at least ONE WEEK before the missed class day to make arrangements.
Blackboard: This is a registered Blackboard course. All course documents, as well as important announcements, will be posted on Blackboard.
Common Final Exam: Final exam will be held on Thursday, May 4, 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.

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.

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. Check the University calendar for exact dates.
During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester, 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.
