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 WebAssign Instant Access for Calculus, Multi-Term Courses, 1st Edition) and use the electronic version of the textbook (eBook). Or you can purchase the Bundle that contains both the paper textbook (loose leaf version) and the WebAssign Printed Access Card for Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals; 8th Edition; Multi-Term. 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 Bundle): http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/2483855. You can also buy the Bundle at the Main Campus Temple Bookstore (http://www.temple.edu/bookstore), but it will cost $172. 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).

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 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.
