Course objective

This course serves as an introduction to differential and integral calculus. Roughly, we will cover Chapters 2 – 5 of the textbook.

Course schedule

Class begins Monday, January 9 and goes to Monday, April 30 with the following exceptions:
no class Monday, January 16 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day);
no class March 12 – 16 (spring break).

Homework

Every week there will be homework assignments on the course webpage. Homework will be due at the beginning of class every Thursday. No late work will be accepted. Your graded work will be returned to you at next Monday. Also I will post a model solution on this course webpage. You may work together on homework with your classmates. But do not copy directly. The assigned homework will probably not give you enough practice to prepare you for the exams. Thus, you should also work through the recommended problems on your own.

Quiz

I may give quizzes at any time during the semester. I may announce a quiz in advance, or it may be a surprise. Anyone not in attendance with an unexcused absence will miss out on these points.

Test

There will be three midterm tests and a cumulative final exam. Dates for the midterm exams will be announced in class. The final exam is scheduled by the university; it is scheduled for May 2, 8:00 – 11:00. This could change. The final exam will be cumulative, but may slightly emphasize material covered between the third in-class exam and the last day of class. Model solutions for every exams will be posted on this course webpage.

Attendance

Coming to every class during the official academic term is required. Attendance will be taken intermittently and in a variety of ways. This will be included in the “participation” portion of your grade.

Grading

Final grades will be computed according to the following breakdown:

Participation 5 %
Homework 15 %
Quiz 10 %
Tests 3 x 15% = 45 %
Final 25 %

Calculator or computer

Use of calculators and/or computers is permitted when doing homework and quizzes. However, they will not be allowed on tests and final exam. So I recommend you to work without them as much as possible in preparation for the exams.

Academic honesty

As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s academic honesty policy, “A Culture of Honesty” and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in “A Culture of Honest” found at: http://www.uga.edu/honesty. Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.

Disclaimer

The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary.
