Textbook: Applied Calculus, third edition -- by Deborah Hughes-Hallett, et. al.; Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; ISBN: 0471681210.
Course Goals: This is a calculus course in the reform style that will introduce students to the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus. The emphasis of the course will be on understanding the concepts (intuitively rather than rigorously) and on developing analytic ability. However, the course will also cover techniques of differentiation and some techniques of integration.
Topics Covered: Chapter 1: FUNCTIONS AND CHANGE (sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9). Chapter II: RATE OF CHANGE: THE DERIVATIVE (sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4). Chapter III: SHORT-CUTS TO DIFFERENTIATION (sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4). Chapter IV: USING THE DERIVATIVE (sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3). Chapter V: ACCUMULATED CHANGE: THE DEFINITE INTEGRAL (sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5). Chapter VI: USING THE DEFINITE INTEGRAL (section 6.1). Chapter VII: ANTIDERIVATIVES (sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4).
Course Grading: 45% Midterms (3) + 15% Quizzes + 15% Homework + 25% Final; The 3 midterm scores will be given the weights, 10%, 15%, and 20%, from lowest to highest respectively.
Exam Dates: Midterm 1: Friday, July 14; Midterm 2: Wednesday, July 26; Midterm 3: Wednesday, August 9; Final: Tuesday, August 15, from 8:30 - 10:35 AM. Dates are subject to change by instructor's discretion.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required.
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. Contact Disability Resources and Services at (215) 204-1280, 100 Ritter Annex, to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
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 a withdrawal form is processed by a registration office of the University by the Drop/Add deadline date given below. For this semester, the crucial dates are as follows:
During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester or summer sessions, students may withdraw from a course with no record of the class appearing on the transcript. In weeks three through nine of the fall or spring semester, or during weeks three and four of summer sessions, the student may withdraw with the advisor's permission. The course will be recorded on the transcript with the instructor's notation of "W," indicating that the student withdrew. After week nine of the fall or spring semester, or week four of summer sessions, students may not withdraw from courses. No student may withdraw from more than five courses during the duration of his/her studies to earn a bachelor's degree. A student may not withdraw from the same course more than once. Students who miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in will be graded F.
The grade I (an "incomplete") is reserved for extreme circumstances. It is necessary to have completed almost all of the course with a passing average and to file an incomplete contract specifying what is left for you to do. To be eligible for an I grade you need a good reason and you should have missed not more than 25% of the first nine weeks of classes. If approved by the Mathematics Department chair and the CST Dean's office, the incomplete contract must include a default grade that will be used in case the I grade is not resolved within 12 months.
