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 dont 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 elses 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 Disability Support Center, room 205D, Sharwan Smith Center, 865-8022.  The Disability Support Center determines eligibility for and authorizes the provision of these services and aids.

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.
