• TEXTS: Required: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, James Stewart, 6th edition (single variable ok). [CET]
• Optional : Calculus , CD/Link, by Ed Burger-  Thinkwell Publishing. http://thinkwell.com/
  

Excerpts from Sensible Calculus by M. Flashman as available from this webpage and Moodle.
• SCOPE: This course will deal with a continuation of the theory and application of what is often described as "integral calculus" as well as the calculus of infinite series. These are contained primarily in Chapters 6 through 11 of CET . Supplementary notes and text will be provided as appropriate through this webpage.


• $$ TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS: There will be several tests in this course. There will be several reality check quizzes, two midterm exams and a comprehensive final examination.
• We will use the HSU Moodle for some on-line reality quizzes.
• Homework assignments are made regularly. They should be done neatly. We will be using Moodle  or WebAssign to grade homework. Record your homework results  by 10:15 AM of the due date.  I will discuss this further at the first class meeting. Problems from the assignments will be discussed in class based on the Moodle report on submitted homework. Homework assignments will be used in determining the 100 course points.
• Using the CD Tutorials: Work on the CD tutorials is optional and will not effect your grade directly.
  Purchase and use with a partner is suggested. When a particular tutorial is suggested it should be viewed close to due date of the assignment for most effective useage.
  
• HOMEWORK MAY NOT BE GRADED THREE CLASS DAYS AFTER THE DUE DATE.
• You MAY submit a written request at the start of class for me to discuss in class a problem or a question you have about the previously assigned reading.
  
• I will be available after class and during my office hours and by appointment for other questions.
• Midterm Exams will be self-scheduled and announced at least one week in advance.
• THE FINAL EXAMINATION WILL 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! ***

• Partnership work:
• Summaries: Every two weeks you 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. The summaries must be submitted in a partnership (2-3 members). Exceptions by permission only.  Each individual partner will receive corrected photocopies.
• Your summaries will be allowed as references at the final examination only.
  Summary work will be used in determining the 50 course points allocated for summary work.
  
  
• Problem of the Week (POW) On alternate weeks (when a summary is not due) partnerships will submit a response to the "problem/activity of the week." These problems will be special problems distributed in class (and on this web page) or selected starred problems from the assignment lists.
• All  partnership  problem  work will be graded 5 for excellent/well done; 4 for good/OK; 3 for acceptable; or 1 for unacceptable; and will be used  in determining the 50 points allocated for the problem of the week.
 
• 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 and various  assignments.



Reality Quizzes	100 points
Homework	100 points
POW's	50  points
Summary work	50 points
2 Midterm Examinations	200 points
Final Examination	200 or 400 points
Total	700 or 900  points

• The final examination will be be worth either 200 or 400 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.
• MORE THAN 4 ABSENCES MAY LOWER THE FINAL GRADE FOR POOR ATTENDANCE.

Notice that only 400 or 600 of these points are from examinations, so regular participation with reality quizzes, homework, and partnership work is essential to forming a good foundation for your grades as well as your learning.

• No drops will be allowed without "serious and compelling reasons" and a fee after this date.
  
• No drops allowed after this date.
  
• Students wishing to be graded with either CR or NC should make this request  using the web registration procedures.

• Technology: The computer or a graphing calculator can be used for many problems. We will use Winplot and Microsoft Xcel.

We may go to the  computer lab a couple of times during the term to get some hands on experience with the software.
• $$ Winplot is freeware and may be downloaded from Rick Parris's website or directly from this link for Winplot .
• Online help for Winplot is available.
• Instructions for Winplot prepared by Gerald Hile (Hawaii).
• Notes for Winplot authored by Al Lehnen (Madison Area Technical College in Madison, Wisconsin)
• Graphing Calculators: Graphing calculators are welcome and highly recommended.
• A limited number of HP48G's will be available for students to borrow for the term through me by arrangement with the Math department. Supplementary materials will be distributed if needed.
• If you would like to purchase a graphing calculator, let me know.
• Students wishing help with any graphing calculator should plan to bring their calculator manual with them to class.
• I do not use a hand-held graphing calculator during class time.
  

• $$ Use of  Office Hours and Optional "5th hour"s: Many students find  the second semester of calculus difficult because of weakness in their pre-calculus and first semester background skills and concepts.

A grade of C in your first semester of calculus 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.
