Calculus II, Math 1220, Spring 2008
Course Syllabus
Instructor: Dr. Seth Armstrong, ELC 402, cell number
590-4516 (the self-named Math Hotline),
email armstrong@suu.edu. Please relay information to me by email or
cell if possible. I do not check voice mail
on the office phone very frequently.
There will often be things posted on my web page at www.suu.edu/faculty/armstrong
like this syllabus, Mathematica
notebooks, and previous exams.
Meeting times and
Office hours: We
will meet M-Th,
9:00-9:50 in GC 409. Consultation in my
office will be 2:30-3:30 daily. Please
try to make your visits during these times.
If my office hour is not possible for you to make I will be happy to
schedule another appointment. There will
be a teaching assistant to meet with you to answer HW questions on Fridays, and
attendance will add ˝ point every time you come (making up to 7 extra credit
points).
Prerequisite: Calculus I with at least a C
Text: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 8th
ed., by Anton, Bivens and Davis. If you are going on through Calculus III and
haven’t yet bought the text, you should be careful to obtain the full edition
(Calculus I-III) rather than the brief (Calculus I-II).
Course Fee: The course fee is to cover tutoring and teaching assistants as
well as periodic updates of math software such as Mathematica that we will use in this class.
Objectives: To learn applications of the integral in geometry, science and
engineering; to learn techniques of integration; to solve simple differential
equations and some applications; to discuss sequences and infinite series including Taylor series; to
learn techniques of analytic geometry.
Policies and Procedures:
1.
Attendance
is required. I will be unwilling to go
through material that you miss without excuse.
You may drop your lowest test score (see #3) if you have three or fewer unexcused absences on
regular meeting days M-Th.
2.
Complete each homework (HW)
assignment the day it’s listed if your schedule allows – this will facilitate
understanding of the next day’s lecture.
You should do your HW as independently as possible. That is, do all you can first on a problem before seeking outside help. This is because
struggling through a problem for a while on your own is the best way to learn
difficult material, something such as…hmmm…math! Homework from the previous week’s material
(meaning M-Th assignments, not the Monday night just before hand-in) will be collected,
however, only each Tuesday at the beginning of class. It should be neat with the problems done in order,
and it should show complete work to receive credit. Because you have Th-M
nights between the last HW assignment and handing it in, I will not give any
time extension on the HW unless it’s excused.
Late unexcused HW will not be accepted.
3.
Only three of your four exam scores
will count toward your grade, that is, unless you have too many absences (see
#1). Should you fall ill or have to be
gone for some legitimate excuse the day of the test, email me or talk to me
ASAP to schedule a makeup test. If you
wait more than one day to contact
me, then the score on the test you miss will simply be a zero regardless of
excuse (i.e., so if you have been absent less than the allotted days, you can
drop that one). Excuses that merit a
makeup test would be such things as sickness, a funeral (including your own), a
family wedding (not including your own), a school-excused absence, and such
like. On the other hand, sleeping
through an alarm, a busy week, an appointment with a doctor that can reasonably
be rescheduled and so on are not compelling excuses for me to give you a makeup
exam. I recommend that you do not plan
on dropping any tests so if you get a lower score on a later exam you don’t have to count that score toward your grade.
4.
Scholastic
dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. Homework plagiarism (copying from someone else’s HW) will result in a zero on any assignment. This means that you
do not copy someone else’s work and you do not copy from the solutions manual,
although you may use the latter for additional reference.
5.
Students
with medical, psychological, learning, or other
disabilities desiring academic adjustment, accommodations, or auxiliary aids
will need to contact the
6.
Grading The total will be 500 or 600 points, including 50 total from HW,
300 or 400 from the one-hour tests (see 3), and then 150 from the final
exam. The grading scale will be the
following. Please note that I will not raise a grade because of need; it
is up to you to get the grade you want.
