Interpret this equation with either

(i) a discussion of the velocity and position of the object with the position function given by

TEXTS: Required: Calculus 4th Edition by James Stewart.(Brooks/Cole, 1999)

Sensible Calculus

Catalog Description:

SCOPE: This course will introduce the theory and application of what is often described as "differential and integral calculus." These are contained primarily in Chapters 2 through 6 of Stewart. Supplementary notes and text will be provided as appropriate on the web.
TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS: There will be several tests in this course. There will be an oral quiz on the chain rule, several reality check quizzes, two self-scheduled midterm exams and a comprehensive final examination.

Homework assignments are made regularly. They should be done neatly and passed in on the due date. Homework is graded Acceptable/Unacceptable with problems to be redone. Redone work should be returned for grading promptly.
Exams will be announced at least one week in advance.
THE FINAL EXAMINATION WILL BE SELF SCHEDULED.
The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the entire semester.
MAKE-UP TESTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES! It is the student's responsibility to request a makeup promptly.

*** DAILY ATTENDANCE SHOULD BE A HABIT! ***

Writing Assignments: At the beginning of each class you will submit

a brief statement (at most four sentences) describing the content from previous class,
a question related specifically to the reading assignment for that class, and
any topics you would like to discuss further either in class or individually.
I will read these and return them the next class. These will be used in determining 30 of the 100 points assigned for homework. No late reports will be accepted! [Notice that missing one class will result in missing two report opportunities.]

Team Activities: Every two weeks your team will be asked to submit a summary of what we have covered in class. (No more than two sides of a paper.) These may be organized in any way you find useful but should not be a copy of your class notes. I will read and correct these before returning them. Team participants will receive corrected photocopies.

Your summaries will be allowed as references at the final examination only.

Every week (with some exceptions) teams will submit a response to the "problem/activity of the week."
All cooperative problem work will be graded +(5 well done), ü(4 for OK), -(3 acceptable), or unacceptable(1) and will be used in determining the 80 points allocated for cooperative assignments.

GRADES: Final grades will be determined taking into consideration the quality of work done in the course as evidenced primarily from the accumulation of points from tests, various individual and "team" assignments.

Midterm exams will be worth 100 points each and the final exam will be worth 200 or 300 points.
Homework performance will count for 100 points.
Quizzes will determine 100 points.
Cooperative problem assignments and summaries will be used to determine 80 points.
The oral quiz on the chain rule will be graded on a credit(20 points)/no credit(0) basis.
The final examination will be be worth either 200 or 300 points determined by the following rule:

The final grade will use the score that maximizes the average for the term based on all possible points .

Reality Quizzes	100 points
Oral Quiz	20 points
2 Midterm Examinations	200 points
Homework	100 points
Cooperative work	80 points
Final Examination	200/300 points
Total	700/800 points

The total points available for the semester is 700 or 800. Notice that 300 of these points are not from examinations, so regular participation is essential to forming a good foundation for your grades as well as your learning.

** See the course schedule for the dates related to the following :

See the spring course list for a full list of relevant days.

Technology: The computer or a graphing calculator can be used for many problems.

We will use Winplot. Winplot is freeware and may be downloaded from Rick Parris 's website or directly from one of these links for Winplot1 or Winplot2 . This software is small enough to fit on a 3.5" disc and can be used on any Windows PC on campus. You can find introductions to Winplot on the web.

A version of X(PLORE) is available at the bookstore for MAC based PC's along with the PC version we may use.Windows and DOS versions of X(PLORE) are also available online... X(PLORE) for Windows.
Students wishing help with any graphing calculator should plan to bring their calculator manual with them to class.
Graphing Calculators: Though much of our work this semester will be using the computer, graphing calculators are welcome and highly recommended. The HP48G, HP 49 and the TI-89 and 92 are particularly useful though most graphing calculators will be able to do much of the work. HP48G's will be available for students to borrow for the term by arrangement with the Math department. Supplementary materials will be distributed if needed. If you would like to purchase one or have one already, let me know. Students wishing help with any graphing calculator should plan to bring their calculator manual with them. I will try to help you with your own technology when possible during office hours or by appointment (not in class).

Use of Office Hours and Optional "5th hour"s: Many students find beginning calculus difficult because of weakness in their pre-calculus background skills and concepts. The Mathematics Department offers a weekend review of some of these through Math 280. [See me or the get more information at the Math Department office.] You might also check Teresa (Tami) Matsumoto's CALCULUS PREPARATION Information Page . A grade of C in Math 115 (Algebra and Elementary Functions) might indicate this kind of weakness. Difficulties that might have been ignored or passed over in previous courses can be a major reason for why things don't make sense now.

You may use my office hours for some additional work on these background areas either as individuals or in small groups. My office time is also available to discuss routine problems from homework after they have been discussed in class and reality check quizzes as well as using technology. Representatives from groups with questions about the Problem of the Week are also welcome.
I will try to organize and support additional time with small (or larger) groups of students for whom some additional work on these background areas may improve their understanding of current coursework.
Later in the semester optional hours will be available to discuss routine problems from homework and reality check quizzes as well as using technology.
Regular use of my time outside of class should be especially useful for students having difficulty with the work and wishing to improve through a steady approach to mastering skills and concepts.

Don't be shy about asking for an appointment outside of the scheduled office hours.
