Prerequisites: Math 1041 (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. The text is available at the bookstore and here: https://www.cengage.com/coursepages/Temple_MATH_1042 We will not use WebAssign. All homework are to be submitted on Canvas.

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: Homework - 5%, Quiz Average - 13%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 34%.

Exam Dates: We will have two midterms, and a final exam. All exam times will be during our usual class meeting time. Test 1 - Monday, June 3rd; Test 2 - Monday, June 17; Final Exam - Wednesday, June 26.

Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss more than 3 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss more than 6 classes 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: There will be regularly assigned homework. This will come in two forms: a) Pre-lecture video quizzes on Canvas. I will ask you to watch a video before class and answer a few short questions. This will always be due 10 minutes before the start of class. b) Problems from the textbook/ webassign. Both of these components It will be graded for completeness but not for correctness, and, combined, will count for 5% of your course grade.

Quizzes: There will be (approximately) two 20-25 minute quiz every week (when there is no midterm). Each quiz will consist of problems similar to the ones assigned from the text book. The quizzes will have individual and groupwork components. Make-up quizzes will not be given, however, I will drop the lowest two quiz scores to accommodate for emergencies. Quiz times and topic will be announced in the weekly agendas on Canvas.

Exam 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 me as soon as possible.

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

Comprehensive Final Exam: Final Exam - Wednesday, June 26 in our usual classroom. Important: 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: 0-54 F, 55-64 D, 65-72 C-, 73-76 C, 77-79 C+, 80-82 B-, 83-86 B, 87-89 B+, 90-92 A-, 93-100 A.

Tutoring Services: The Student Success Center (SSC, found in Charles library) and the Math TA and CA Consulting Center (MCC, Wachman 1036) both provide excellent free tutoring for this course throughout the semester. Information regarding these centers, including hours, will be posted on the course Canvas page. Please try these centers if you're feeling stuck, even if it's only for an hour. Some information can be found here: https://www.math.temple.edu/ugrad/tutoring/MCC.html and here: https://studentsuccess.temple.edu/.

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". More serious penalties are possible and those caught cheating will be reported to the office of student conduct.

Course Expectations and Norms: A) Math is learned by practicing, making mistakes, and actively engaging with material: learners are expected to attend and participate in all class sessions. learners who must miss a class should notify me in advance and obtain notes from a classmate. B) Distractions detract from our ability to learn: Learners are expected to either silence or turn off electronics; they should not be used during class. Also, please do not wear headphones or earbuds during class. Experience has taught me that laptops in a classroom leads to distractions, therefore I do not allow the use of laptops in our classroom. Learners are allowed to use tablets to take lecture notes, but they must be kept flat on the desk. C) We learn better working in groups: We will often form groups in class to work on questions or otherwise have class discussions. Students are expected to be respectful of their peers. Students are encouraged to form study groups to discuss concepts and additional problems outside of class. D) Be respectful of others and the learning environment: During the large group discussions (i.e. traditional lecture portion of the class) do not engage in any side conversations with other learners. If you have a question or need clarification, please raise your hand. Remember, if you have a question about something, it is highly probable other students have the same question. Bringing your question to me is beneficial for all. In addition, having side discussions is disrespectful of the group.

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).
