Course Material

Textbook: Calculus, 6th edition, by James Stewart
Coverage: Sections 7.1-7.5, 7.8, 8.1-8.3, 11.1-11.10, 10.1-10.5

Required Material: In addition to having the textbook, students are required to purchase an access code for the online homework program, called WebAssign. One access code will give you an access to WebAssign for one semester. The OSU bookstore sells the textbook in a loose-leaf custom version for OSU (with no buy-back option or used purchase option) and two access codes for WebAssign for $125. If you purchase the textbook elsewhere, you are not guaranteed to be purchasing an access code for WebAssign as well. You may buy an access code for the semester from a student who bought two codes last semester but not planning to use the second one. You may also buy an access code online from Webassign directly for $35.


Prerequisite

A grade of C or better in Math 2144, Calculus I, or a grade of 3 or better on Calculus AB AP Exam, is the prerequisite for the course. The students are expected to know the material from Chapters 1-6 of the textbook, which includes differentiation and besic integration of all functions including exponentials, logarithms, and inverse trigonometric functions.

CAUTION: Anyone who took Math 2144, Calculus I, prior to Fall 2008 may be missing the knowledge of the material on exponential, logarithmic, and inverse functions, which was covered in Math 2153, Calculus II, at that time. The material is found in sections 7.1-7.5 of the old textbook Calculus, 5th edition, by James Stewart. There will be a review lecture on this material by Prof. Mantini on Wednesday, January 14, 7:00PM-8:30PM, in MS 101, which is open to all Math 2153 students.


Grading

There will be homework assignments and quizzes (100 points total), three midterm exams (100 points each) and a final exam (200 points). Your course score, out of 500 points, will be calculted by the formula

        T = HQ + M1 + M2 + M3 + F - Min(M1, M2, M3, F/2)

where T is the course score, HQ is the homework/quiz score, M1 is the 1st midterm exam score, M2 is the 2nd midterm exam score, M3 is the 3rd midterm exam score, and F is the final exam score. In other words, you may drop one midterm or a half of the final. A course score of 450 points guarantees a letter grade A. A course score of 400 points guarantees a letter grade B. A course score of 350 points guarantees a letter grade C. A course score of 300 points guarantees a letter grade D.


Attendance

Regular attendance in lectures is strongly advised but not mandatory. Attendance rolls may be taken in class occasionally, but they will not be used in determining your grades. Regardless of whether or not you attend lectures, you will be held responsible for all material presented in lectures, as well as all announcements made during lectures.


Homework and Quizzes

Homeworks will be completed on WebAssign, an online homework management and grading program. There will be no make-up for missed homework. Students must set up their account and self-enroll for access to your section during the first week of class at the WebAssign website, where you will need to enter the following class keys.

        2153-003: okstate 1758 9941
        2153-007: okstate 8897 8495

There will be occasional in-class or take-home quizzes. Quizzes may not be announced in advance.

More information about the homework and quizzes, such as the hints on using WebAssign, can be found here.


Exams

There will be three midterm exams and the final exam. All exams will be held in the lecture room. The tentative schedule for the exams is as follows.

Books, notes, cell phones, and calculators are not allowed in any of the exams. There will be no make-up exams, except for very serious and unavoidable extenuating circumstances. To schedule the make-up, you must discuss the arrangement with the instructor as soon as possible. All other missed exams will be assigned zero points.

More information about the exams, such as the coverage and the downloadable practice exams, can be found here.


Academic Integrity

Oklahoma State University is committed to the maintenance of the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct of its members. This level of ethical behavior and integrity will be maintained in this course. Participating in a behavior that violates academic integrity will result in your being sanctioned. Violations may subject you to disciplinary action including the following: receiving a failing grade on an assignment, examination or course, receiving a notation of a violation of academic integrity on your transcript (F!), and being suspended from the University. You have the right to appeal the charge. Contact the Office of Academic Affairs, 101 Whitehurst, (405) 744-5627.

More information about academic integrity can be found here.


Students with Disabilities

If you have a disability and need special accomodation to pursue the course, please advise the instructor of such disability before the second class period of the second week. The instructor and the office of Disabled Student Services, 326 Student Union, will work with you to ensure that you have a fair opportunity to complete the course.
