Text Calculus: Single Variable -- by Deborah Hughes-Hallett (Author), et al
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; 3rd edition
ISBN: 0471408263



Description Credit Hours: 4
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.

Prerequisite: Mathematics placement test or grade of C or better in Mathematics C073 or its equivalent



Special cases

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 at 215-204 1280 in 100 Ritter Annex to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.




Homework There is a list of suggested problems from the textbook that are especially relevant for the material covered in class. Every Monday there will be a homework quiz, some of the problems in the list will be asked in class.

Temple University has a  MSRC (Math Science Resources Center) in Room 17 & 18 (basement), Curtis Hall. They can help you to do your homework. 

Additionally you can use the web site COW (Calculus On the Web), which is an interactive web site for basic mathematics.

(*) Chapter 1 will be taught very quickly because it  is a review of concepts the student is supposed to know before registering for this course, but that is not always the case. The MSRC will run a review session during the first 2 weeks. If you don't feel comfortable with the problems in this file, you should attend to those sessions.
Exams
 Midterm 1: Monday,  September 26
Midterm 2: Wednesday, November 23
Final: Tuesday, December 13, 2:00 - 4:00

Previous Midterms:
Previous finals:

The instructor will not accept any excuse not to take those exams on time unless credible proof is provided justifying the absence. Without proof of the absence the grade will be a zero.

During any exam you can use a scientific calculator, graphic calculator or any "sophisticated" calculator will not be accepted . If you don't bring it, you will have to do the test without it. The instructor will not allow the students to share calculators during the test. 

Obviously cheating is not permitted. Upon the finding of a violation of the Code of Conduct the University Disciplinary Committee or Hearing Officer may recommend any of the following sanctions, alone or in combination:



a. Expulsion
b. Suspension
c. Probation
d. Fine
e. Academic Sanction
f. Withdrawal of Student Social Privileges
g. Alternative Sanctions

Therefore if  you are caught cheating you could be expelled from the University. No refund, no transcript, just trouble.

 




Grading Policy Grade = 30% Final + 15% Each Midterm + 40% Homework

Grading Scale for Final Course Grade:

90% - (A); 87-89% (A-); 84-86% (B+); 80-83% (B); 77-79% (B-); 74-76% (C+); 70-73% (C); 67-69% (C-); 64-66% (D+); 60-63% (D); 57-59% (D-); 0-56% (F)

The grades of any exam will be posted as soon as are available to the Blackboard.

Students who miss the final and do not make alternative arrangements with me before I turn in the grades will be graded F.
