| Homework: | Homeworks will be posted weekly on the course page. They will not be collected, but they will feature
strongly on the quizzes and exams. |
| Recitations: | You are expected to come to recitations having attempted to work the assignment and prepared with questions
for the TA. It is not a second lecture or a vehicle for them to do your work. |
| Quizzes: | There will be a closed book, closed notes quiz each week during Thursday recitation based on the previous
week's class and homework. There will be no quizzes the first week or exam weeks. |
| Exams: | There will be two midterm exams. The final will be at the university scheduled time.
A one-sided note sheet, along with a scientific calculator is permissible. Graphing calculators are not admissible. |
| Makeup Policy: | The dropped quiz is expected to make up for a quiz absence if you find one necessary.
If you have a serious emergency or an academic conflict that goes beyond one quiz absence, you can contact the instructor and see if a makeup would be possible. |
| Grading: | Your lowest quiz will be dropped.
The base grading guideline will be: A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69, F: Below 60 The rubric is: quizzes 25%, first midterm 20%, second midterm 20%, final 35%. Any possible curves will only be beneficial, and only at the instructor's discretion. |
| Background: | This course relies on the differentiation and integration techniques that you learned in Calc 1.
You are expected to be able to take differentials and integrals of common functions (trig functions, exponentials, powers, ln(x)) as well as use techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, power rule, product rule, and partial fractions. You are expected to know basic algebra, how to work with functions like ln(x) and e^x, and the value of trig functions in Pi/4 multiples. This list is not necessarily comprehensive but it is a good chunk of what you should know. |
| Recommendations: | This is a fast-paced course with a lot of new ideas involving approximations and linear algebra, and
some material that is unlike anything you've seen so far in math and requires a bit of creativity in terms of problem solving. You won't be able to finish quizzes and exams unless you've practiced with the homework, keeping up with it from day one. Especially in the abbreviated summer semester, you cannot slack off on new material on exam weeks or any week. |
