Prerequisites: Math 1041/1941 (Calculus I) with a grade of C or better or transfer credits for Math 1041.

Course Materials: Our course textbook is Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart; 8th Edition, Cengage Learning. Many of the homework problems for the course are available on WebAssign, which requires a new edition of the text or a separately purchased code. Unlike in past semesters, you will NOT be required to pay for WebAssign access this semester. However, you may want to pay for access so that you can use WebAssign to do practice problems or to access the online eBook. The text is available here: https://www.cengage.com/coursepages/Temple_MATH_1042.

Course Goals: You will compute integrals and apply these computations to basic problems related to area, motion, and other things. We will connect prior knowledge of derivatives with the concept of integrals to develop new integration techniques. You will engage the concept of convergence with the main objects of the course: integrals, sequences, and series. You will lay the foundation for use of series in future courses.

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: Exam Date Acknowledgement - 0.5%, Homework - 4.5%, Quiz Average - 12%, Course Project - 4%, Exam 1 - 23%, Exam 2 - 23%, Final Exam - 33%.

Exam Dates: We will have two common midterms, and a final exam. Test 1 - Friday, 23 February, (17:30-19:00); Test 2 - Friday, 12 April, (17:30-19:00); Final Exam - Wednesday, 1 May, (15:30 - 17:30).

Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss 4-7 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss 8-11 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.

Attendance and Your Health: To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to your instructors' requirements. However, if you feel unwell or if you are under quarantine or in isolation because you have been exposed to the virus or tested positive for it, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. Students have the responsibility to contact their instructors to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as they are able to do so and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion when illness delays their completion.

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.

Quizzes: There will be a 20-25 min. quiz every week, except for the first week of classes and the weeks of exams. Each quiz will consist of approximately 4 problems similar to the ones assigned from the textbook. There will be no make up quizzes.

Course Project: We will have a group project, which may take the form of either a short paper and/or video recording. Groups will consist of 2 - 3 students each. A list of topics and a due date will be made available later in the semester.

Make Up Policy: There will be no regularly scheduled make up exams. In the case of a DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY that prevents a student from taking a test as scheduled, the student must contact the instructor immediately in order to discuss alternative arrangements.

Canvas: This is a registered Canvas course. Please go there regularly to see important announcements and keep track of your current grades.

Common Final Exam: Final exam will be held on Thursday, 4 May, from 15:30 to 17:30. 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.

Letter Grades: 0-49 F, 50-54 D-, 55-64 D, 65-69 D+, 70-72 C-, 73-76 C, 77-79 C+, 80-82 B-, 83-86 B, 87-89 B+, 90-92 A-, 93-100 A.

Academic Support: The Student Success Center (SSC) and the Math TA and CA Consulting Center (MCC) both provide excellent support services for this course throughout the semester. The MCC will provide both in person and online tutoring. The schedule will be posted in your course Canvas page after the first week of class. The Student Success Center services include the Writing Center, the PASS program, Academic Coaching, STEM tutoring, the Conversation Partners program, and more. In Fall 2020, all Student Success Center services will be available for students, and all will be offered exclusively online.

Exam Security Policy: We have a zero tolerance policy towards cheating. Students caught cheating on a problem in a test (receiving outside help, using unauthorized resources or devices such as calculators, online resources, etc.) will receive a score of 0 for the entire test. This is consistent with the Temple University Academic Honor Code (see https://secretary.temple.edu/sites/secretary/files/policies/03.70.12.pdf ) that states: "Every member of the university community is responsible for upholding the highest standards of honesty at all times. Students, as members of the community, are responsible for adhering to the principles of academic honesty and integrity.".

Disability Statement: Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm 420 (drs@temple.edu; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you. If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as practical. I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities. All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

Academic Freedom: 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 (opens in new tab/window).

Add/Drop Policy: Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar (opens in new tab/window) 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 (opens in new tab/window).

AI Policy: The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) is not permitted in this class unless specifically announced for a particular assignment; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be considered a violation of Temple University's Academic Honesty policy and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own. The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in a grade of zero on the assignment; a second offense will be reported to the Student Conduct Board.

Incomplete Policy: 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 (opens in new tab/window).

Student Support Services: The following academic support services are available to students (all links open in a new tab/window):
    The Math Consulting Center
    Student Success Center
    University Libraries
    Undergraduate Research Support
    Career Center
    Tuttleman Counseling Services
    Disability Resources and Services
If you are experiencing food insecurity or financial struggles, Temple provides resources and support. Notably, the Temple University Cherry Pantry and the Temple University Emergency Student Aid Program are in operation as well as a variety of resources from the Division of Student Affairs.
