You are expected to be familiar with chapters 1 through 6. Please review limits, derivatives, and integrations as well as your algebra and trigonometry. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Topics include conic sections, rotation of axes, polar coordinates, exponential and logarithmic functions, inverse (trigonometric) functions, integration techniques, and applications of the integral (including mass, moments, and arc length), parametric equations, and infinite series, power and Taylor series. PREREQUISITES: Math 1800 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus I) or approved equivalent with a grade of C- or better. If a record of your prerequisites is not in the UMSL computer system, you will be asked to provide verification by the end of the first week of classes; otherwise you will be removed from class. MYGATEWAY ( You need to check this site frequently. Weekly reading assignment, worksheets, Solutions, review for the tests, and a copy of the syllabus are among the material that will be posted on this site. A message will be posted in the announcements as soon as any new material is posted in the Course Documents folder on MYGATEWAY. To assure that you have the correct copies, please print or view your assignments from the machines on campus. You should save the document to the computer before printing. The closest computer lab is located in 103 SSB. To make sure that you have the correct copies of the assignments, please print or view your assignments from the machines on campus. The documents need to be saved to the computer before printing. REQUIREMENT: All correspondence will be made through your gateway . Please maintain your mailbox so that the s sent to you don t bounce back.

2 MATH LAB: The Math Lab in 425 SSB offers free tutoring during the day, evening, and weekends. For more information on availability, either call or visit For clarification, Math Lab and are not the same thing. HOMEWORK: It is expected that you will have done home assignments and any required readings when you come to class. Doing homework problems will give you the knowledge and skills to do well on the tests and quizzes. Generally, exam problems will be very similar to some of these problems. You are expected to spend at least 2-3 hours outside of class for each hour of class time; this means a minimum of two and a half hours daily! If this seems too much to you, you should evaluate your academic workload now. Your work habits this semester will be crucial to you success. You may want to form study groups to help each other with difficult concepts. You also should make use of my office hours and the MATHLAB. There are Suggested exercises (listed elsewhere in this syllabus) which you should do as we move along. Most of these problems all have answers in the back of the book. Homework is checked daily. Points will be taken away from your weekly homework problem sets if the daily homework is not completed. No late homework is accepted. Your in class quizzes are very similar to the homework problems. The list of on-line homework problems which you must do is only a part of the list of all homework problems that is included in this syllabus. Some homework problems may require mechanical aids like a calculator, spreadsheet or graphing package. However, such devices will neither be needed nor allowed during quizzes and exams. These homework assignments are assigned on most Thursdays and which will be due on the start of the class on Tuesdays. The problems sets have the same weight no matter how many points. These problem sets are the other 100% of your homework grade. No late homework will be accepted. Please maintain a notebook or folder where your detailed work on answers to homework problems (including on-line problems) is neatly organized. By doing this, you will be able to understand your work later on when you review it for exams. It also trains you to write complete and correct answers, as required in the exams QUIZZES: Quizzes will cover recent lecture material, so it would be wise to keep up on homework and get help right away for difficult concepts. The in class quizzes are short and are often not announced. Quizzes will be given at the beginning of class. They will be similar to homework problems. The problems sets have the same weight no matter how many points. All quizzes are closed books/notes and calculators will not be allowed. NO MAKE UP QUIZZES WILL BE ALLOWED. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. TESTS: Four (4) exams, worth 100 points each, will be given during class on the dates specified on the calendar. All tests are closed books/notes and calculators will not be allowed. No exam will be dropped. Failure to appear for an exam will result in a grade of 0 for that exam. A make-up test will be given ONLY in case of a serious trouble verified by some document (a doctor s excuse, a copy of a police report, a letter from a supervisor etc.). A fake document will be considered as academic dishonesty and will be reported immediately. You have to contact me prior to the test. Any make-up test will be more difficult than the test given in class. FINAL EXAM: The mandatory Final Exam will be comprehensive and worth 200 points. You will have a grade of F in the course if you miss the final exam. Passing grade is necessary in the final exam for a grade of C- or above in the course. The final exam is not in the same location and its location will be announced during the last week of classes.

3 The final will be given on Wednesday, May 12 th 12:15 p.m.- 3:15 p.m. The location will be announced during the last week of the semester. COURSE GRADE: Your course grade will be based on the following provided you have a passing grade in the final exam. Homework Quizzes Test points Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Final Exam 200 Points Total 800 Points The grade scale is as follows: A A or A B B+, B, or B C C+, C, C D Below 480 F You need to follow the proper procedure for dropping the course. You have to have a passing grade in order to get excused from the course. A grade of F will be assigned to a student whose name is still on the final class roster and has not dropped the course officially. This grade will not be changed retroactively. Delayed grades can be given only for a situation where a student has completed all the work, with a grade of C- or above, and has to miss the final exam because of an emergency. Delayed grades have to be approved by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: When one takes credit for another s work or uses unauthorized devices (such as calculators) in the course, when they are expressly forbidden, it is cheating. This may occur during in class exams/quizzes or take-home exams/quizzes in this course. The code of student conduct is in the UM-St. Louis Student Handbook. According to the University s Collected Rules and Regulations (Chapter 200: Student Conduct), the term Cheating includes but is not limited to: (i) use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations; (ii) dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; (iii) acquisition or possession without permission of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the University faculty or staff; or (iv) knowingly providing any unauthorized assistance to another student on quizzes, tests, or examinations. When cheating is determined, a zero grade will be given on the specific exam/quiz and the student(s) who is/are involved in the cheating will be reported to the Department of Mathematics and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
