Description:
Concludes the treatment of single variable calculus and covers basic linear algebra. The first 1/3 of this course covers some chapters of single variable calculus not treated in Math 1501. The remaining 2/3 is an introduction to linear algebra, the theory of linear equations in several variables. (Prerequisite: Math 1501.)

Textbooks:
  • Calculus, one and several variables, Salas, Hille, Etgen, 10th edition. (This text is required.)
  • Linear Algebra, Lay, 4th edition. (Students are required to purchase MyMathLab; no text is required.)

Homework, Quizzes, and Exams:
  • Homework for the calculus portion will not be collected/graded, while the linear algebra portion will be administered through MyMathLab and count towards the course grade.
  • A 15-minute quiz will take place on Wednesday every week except the last week and the weeks of midterm exams. Quiz problems will be similar to the assigned homework problems.
  • There will be three midterm exams and a final exam (see Important Dates). The lowest midterm score will be substituted by the final score if the latter is higher.
  • No make-ups will be given for quizzes and midterms.
  • Homework problem sets and practice problems for the midterm exams will be posted on the webpage.
Grades:
  • The usual ten-point scale will be used (A: 90-100%, B: 80-89%, C: 70-79%, D: 60-69%, F: 0-59%); if necessary, adjustments will be made to arrive at a standard grade distribution.
  • The total homework score counts towards 10% of the grade, the total for 10 best quizzes -- 15%, each midterm exam -- 15%, and the final exam earns 30%.
