Prerequisites: A math placement into Calculus I, or a grade of C- or higher in Math 1022, or transfer credit for Math 1022.

Textbook: See Math 1041 syllabus.

Course Goals: To learn the concepts and techniques of differential calculus while strengthening precalculus and problem solving skills. The recitation sessions for this course are intended to give instructors and students time to thoroughly cover some of the prerequisite concepts that students find particularly challenging and spend more time developing the new concepts. The attention to these topics in a calculus context should reinforce students abilities to solve problems involving calculus techniques and applications.

Topics Covered: The algebra and precalculus concepts that arise in covering the calculus topics from Math 1041 will be covered. The topics from Math 1041 are Limits and continuity, differentiation, linear approximation, application of derivatives to optimization and graphing, antiderivatives, definite integrals, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, The Substitution Rule.

Course Grading: There will be regular quizzes in class and the quiz average will count for 65% of your course grade, WebAssign will count for 25% of your grade, and attendance/participation is 10% of the grade.

Exam Dates: There are no exams separate from the Math 1041 exams for this course.

Attendance Policy: PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR POLICY.

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 Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (Opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here.

The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here.
