Our course textbook is Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart; 9th Edition, Cengage Learning.
Your course grade will be computed according to the following scheme: Exam Date Acknowledgement - 0.5%, Homework - 4.5%, Quiz Average - 13%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 34%.
Math 1041 (Calculus I) with a grade of C or better or transfer credits for Math 1041.
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.
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.
We will have two common midterms, and a final exam. Test 1 - Friday, 21 February, (17:30-19:00); Test 2 - Friday, 11 April, (17:30-19:00); Final Exam - Wednesday, 30 April, (15:30 - 17:30).
Attendance is required. Students who miss more than 4 TR classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss more than 8 TR classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.
There will be a quiz every week (when there is no midterm). Each quiz will consist of problems similar to the ones assigned from the text book. There will be no make up quizzes except in case of a documented emergency.
Homework will be regularly assigned from the textbook/ webassign. It will be graded for completeness, and will count for 4.5% of your course grade.
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 their professor, Undergraduate Director Boris Datskovsky at bdats@temple.edu and course coordinator Charles Osborne at cosborne@temple.edu to share documentation and discuss alternative arrangements.
This is a registered Canvas course. Please go there regularly to see important announcements and keep track of your current grades.
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.
Final Exam - Wednesday, 30 April, (3:30 - 5:30 pm). Exam rooms will be announced at least one week in advance of the exam. 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.
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.

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.
To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to the course requirements. However, if you have tested positive for or are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. It is the student’s responsibility to contact me to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as you are able to do so, and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion.
It is important to foster a respectful and productive learning environment that includes all students in our diverse community of learners. Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning experience. Therefore, all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse.
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.
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).
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.
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).
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).
