Text.  Calculus, Seventh Edition, by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards.

Course Description.  This is a continuation of calculus of functions of one variable.  Topics include applications of integration, techniques of integration, L'Hopital's Rule, improper integrals, infinite series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates.  (For a detailed list of topics, please refer to the tentative lecture schedule).

Prerequisites.  Math 1131 (Calculus 1 with Analytic Geometry) with a grade of "C" or better.  

Calculators.  You are expected to have a graphing calculator for this course.  Some test problems will require its use; students will not be permitted to share calculators on test days.  I will conduct classroom demonstrations using a TI-83, but many others will be fine as well.  Acceptable calculators will have the following capabilities:

1. plot the graph of a function on an arbitrary viewing window,
2. display coordinates on a graph using a "trace" feature,
3. find the zeros of functions and solve equations numerically, 
4. graph the terms of a sequence, 
5. evaluate a finite series, and
6. graph in polar coordinates.

Calculators with symbolic differentiation or integration capabilities (such as the TI-89 and TI-92) are not permitted.   

If you have any questions about the suitability of a particular calculator, please feel free to discuss them with me -- but do so promptly so that you have an opportunity to learn and practice with your calculator far in advance of the first test.

Grading.

     Course grades will be based on five regular tests and a comprehensive final exam according to the following weights:
 

Letter grades will be based upon the following point ranges:

    A:  90% of max pts        B:  80% of max pts   
    C:  70% of max pts        D:  60% of max pts
 

Homework Exercises and Bonus Points.

     Homework will be assigned for classroom discussion and for students' self assessment.  Students will be expected to submit their written work each Thursday for instructor review.  On occasion, work might be collected for a grade.  Assigned problems can usually be found on the course web site.  As time permits (refer to lecture schedule on web site), students will be given opportunities to present solutions of homework exercises to the class.  For each correct solution that is adequately explained, the student will receive one bonus point. 

Tests.

     Four tests will be given on the dates listed below. Use of books or notes will not be permitted.  For some tests, I will provide formula sheets with approved  information only.
     Absolutely no makeup tests will be given; please refer to the absentee policy below for more information.  Each student is responsible for frequently checking the announcements listed on the course web page ( http://math.colstate.edu/thoward/Math1132/ ) for updates.  
     Students will not be permitted to begin an exam after another student has left the examination room, so don't arrive late on test days.  In addition, students will not be permitted to leave the classroom and return during the administration of a test.

Final Exam.  

     The final exam will be comprehensive and is required of all students.  See the list of noteworthy dates for date and time.

Retention of Graded Papers.

     Students' papers and final exams will be archived until the midpoint of the Fall 2004 semester.  At that time, any papers not picked up by the student will be discarded.  I do not return final exams, but you are welcome to examine yours after it has been graded.

Noteworthy Dates

June 23 -- Test 1
July 5 -- Holiday, no classes
July 7 -- Test 2; Semester midpoint -- last day to withdraw with a "W"
July 15 -- Test 3 (change originally scheduled July 13 date)
July 26 -- Test 4
July 29 -- last class day
July 30 -- Final exam 8:00-10:00 a.m.

     Any modifications to the course policies and/or course syllabus will be announced on the course web page.  You are expected to check the web page weekly.  If you miss a class day, you should take special care to check the course web page and check with me as soon as possible  in case you missed an assignment or an announcement.

Absentee Policy.

     You are expected to attend every course meeting.  Students who accumulate three absences will be dropped from the course with a grade of "WF"; exceptions will be considered if all absences have been excused.  Late arrivals may be regarded as absences.  Likewise with early departures.
     No makeup tests will be given. If a student misses a test with my approval, the weight of the final exam will be adjusted to compensate for the missing test score.  In the event that a student misses a test without my approval, a zero will be assigned for that test score.
 
Respectful Conduct

     I intend to treat each student with respect and fairness.  Since I expect the same consideration, please conduct yourself in a respectful manner.  Consider also the rights of the other students in the class.  Students who fail to behave in an adult, respectful manner will be prohibited from attending the class and receive the grade of "WF".  Some of my expectations are detailed below.
   

Avoid arriving late for class.  Late class arrivals are disruptive and therefore may be counted as absences.  

Leaving class early.  Leaving before class has been dismissed is rude.  Class ends at 2:50 each afternoon, and not one minute earlier.  Please do not pack your things to leave until that time.  Early departures may be regarded as absences. 

Pagers and cell phones.  Use of cell phones in the class room will not be permitted; you may not bring one into the classroom unless the ringer is turned OFF.  If you carry a pager, it must be set on silent mode or left outside of the classroom.   

Academic Withdrawal.  Any course dropped after June 15 becomes a part of your academic record.  From that date until the midpoint of the term (July 7) a grade of "W" will be assigned for withdrawal forms submitted to the Registrar.  A grade of "WF" will be assigned for withdrawals requested after the midpoint.  The student is responsible for completing the withdrawal request via ISIS and for documenting the date of the withdrawal request.  I recommend keeping a printed copy of your withdrawal forms to document the fact (and date) that they have been submitted.

Students with Disabilities:  If you have a documented disability as described by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 933-112 Section 504) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and would like to request academic and/or physical accommodations, please contact Joy Norman at the Office of Disability Services in the Center for Academic Support and Student Retention, Tucker Hall (phone 706-568-2330) as soon as possible.  Course requirements will not be waived, but reasonable accommodations may be provided as appropriate.
