Topics include limits, analytical geometry, derivatives and curve sketching, antiderivatives including trigonometric functions, definite integrals, and applications of definite integrals. Prerequisite: high school pre-calculus, or MATH 1316, or MATH 2412. 2) Introduction and Rationale for the Course: To apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, higher-order thinking, and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world situations To interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics, and draw inferences from them To use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding and to solve mathematical problems and judge the reasonableness of the results Develop the capability to think and analyze at a critical level 3) Instructional Materials: Required Materials: Text: Calculus, 8th ed., Larson/ Hostetler, and Edwards. Houghton Mifflin, 2002. Available Materials: Student Solution manual (packaged with the text) Calculators: None required 4) Student Learning Outcomes: Find limits graphically, algebraically, and numerically. Find derivative, slope of tangent line, equation of tangent line, and horizontal tangent line. Demonstrate an understanding of product rule, quotient rule and chain rule. Demonstrate an understanding of applications of the derivative including finding extrema, optimization, and related rate problems. Evaluate an integral including integration by substitution. Demonstrate an understanding of differentiation and integration of trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential inverse and hyperbolic functions. Page -1-
5) Method of Instruction: This is an online class. The material in the class notes will correlate with the Student Learning Outcomes. The class notes are the lecture notes. 6) Method of Evaluation: Your course grade will be based on the average of the major tests and the final exam. 7) Grading Criteria: Numerical Average Letter grade 90-100% A 80-89% B 70-79% C 60-69% D 0-59% F 8) Attendance: Academic success is closely associated with regular coursework. All students are required to e-mail the instructor weekly to keep the instructor informed of their progress. In the real world, bosses expect you to be on the job, on time, and doing quality work. Think of this course as your job. If you wish to drop this course, you should fill out a "Drop Slip" with the instructor's assistance. You may be dropped automatically after three weeks of no e-mails from you letting me know of your progress. If you miss a major exam that the class was allowed 2 days to complete; allow another 4 days to elapse without contacting the instructor concerning the exam, you have, at that point, missed enough to be dropped from the course for non-participation. Special notes: If you are receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must begin attendance in all classes. Do not drop or stop attending any class without consulting the Financial Aid Office. Changes in your enrollment level and/or failing grades may require you to repay financial aid funds. According to current Texas law, dropping a course may have serious academic consequences as well. Under most circumstances, a maximum of 6 courses may be dropped throughout the entire undergraduate degree program. Before you decide to withdraw from this or any other course, make sure you understand the consequences. For more information see the Office of the Registrar. 9) Classroom Policies: Late work/makeup exams: No late / make-up work. 10) Additional Course Requirements: You are expected to read all chapter notes on the web, to e-mail the instructor weekly, to do all the homework, take all major tests, and the final exam. To do well in this course, you should read the textbook and work homework problems on a regular basis. If you need help, you are strongly advised to seek assistance from your instructor or tutor. Homework: You are expected to do all the homework exercises as assigned to prepare you for the tests. However, homework will not be collected or graded. You are expected to do all the homework, take major test, and the final exam. To do well in this course, you should read the textbook, chapter notes on the web, and work homework problems on a regular basis. If you need help, you are strongly advised to seek assistance from your instructor or tutor. Page -2-
