Course           Integration techniques, applications, differential 
Description      equations and series

Cource           Students will
Objectives       1.  understand when to use integration in application
                   problems including geometry and physics applications
                 2.  set up definite, indefinite and improper integrals as
                   appropriate an evaluate them using an approximate method
                   including substitution, integration by parts, tables of
                   integrals, and approximation techniques.
                 3.  understand the basics of differential equations including
                   slope fields, Euler's method, and separation of variables
                   and apply these principals to applications including growth
                   and decay models.
                 4.  use technology in calculus including the use of programing
                   calculator.
                 5.  communicate (verbally and in writing) the mathematical 
                   ideas of calculus.

Method           Lectures, question and answer sessions, moderated individ- 
of Instruction   ual and group problem solving sessions, hand-in problem 
                 assignments, regular use of technology in and out of the
                 classroom.

Homework:        Homework assignment will be announced at end of each
                 class and posted on the website. Homework will be
                 collected at the beginning of every class meeting
                 and will be graded. Late homework will NOT be accepted
                 but four worst scores will be dropped. At the end
                 the semester, your homework percentage could be used as 
                 a substitute for the worst midterm exam.

Exams:           There will be three one-hour midterm exams (Feb. 10, 
                 March 14 and April 17) counted 100 points each. The worst 
                 score may be replaced by homework percentage. 
                 A comprehensive Final Exam will be on Tue., May 2, 
                 2:00-3:50pm and will be counted for 200 points.

Method           Evaluation of your performance in the course is based on
of Evaluation    three mid-term exams (100 points each), homework (100 
                 points), and the Final Exam (200 points). With the lowest
                 score among the mid-term exams and homework being dropped,
                 The total number of points is 500. The scale of grading:

                 90-100% (450-500 pts): A, 80-89%(400-449 pts): B, 
                 65-79% (325-399 pts): C, 55-64%(275-324 pts): D

*Exams and homework will be essay-type. That is, they will require written
answers involving problem solutions or answers to specific questions about 
the subject matter.

Free tutoring is available. The room and time will be announced. 

Department secretaries will not give out final grades. Please do not ask.

Friday, March 17 is the last day to drop this class
