Text :  Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 8th ed. by Anton, Bivens and Davis (Chapters 1-6)

Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in Trigonometry and College Algebra. This should include Math 1050 and Math 1060 or a pre-college background of at least two and one-half years of algebra, one year of geometry and one-half year of trigonometry.

 

Course Description: Functions, limits and continuity; the derivative, differentiation techniques, and applications; graphing applications including extrema and concavity; elementary anti-derivative/integration skills;  the definite integral and its applications. Coverage includes applying the ideas and techniques of calculus to algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

 

Objectives:   

Calculate limits

Determine whether a function is continuous

Find derivatives using the definition, basic differentiation techniques, the product and quotient rules, the chain rule, implicit differentiation, and L’Hopital’s rule

Apply the derivative to topics such as function analysis, curve sketching, maximum and minimum problems, function approximation, and rectilinear motion

Master basic integration techniques

Apply the integral to topics such as finding area and rectilinear motion

Have exposure to basic calculus theorems such as the Intermediate Value Theorem, Rolle’s Theorem, Mean-Value Theorem, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

 

Grading:                Homework:         45 points (5 pts each)

                               Quizzes:              105 points (15 pts each, lowest 3 quizzes dropped)

                               In-Class Exams:  200 points (100 pts each)

                               Final Exam:        150 points

                               Total :                  500points  

                    A     93%-100%,                            B-    80%-82%                  D+ 67%-69%

Attendance: Students are expected to attend all class meetings and are responsible for all of the material covered.  Students who miss a class meeting should copy a classmate’s notes for that meeting. Homework will be announced in class and will be collected at Friday’s class. Late homework is not accepted. You are encouraged to work in groups but may not copy each other’s homework.  Copying solutions from others or the back of the book or solutions manual will result in 0 credits. Work must be shown to get credit.  Also, there will be no “make–up” quizzes. Unless a valid excuse is approved by the instructor, a missed test will receive the score 0. Students must look at this syllabus carefully and plan well ahead.

 

University Policies: Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You are expected to have read and understood the current issue of the student handbook (published by Student Services) regarding student responsibilities and rights, and the intellectual property policy, for information about procedures and about what constitutes acceptable on-campus behavior.

Students with medical, psychological, learning or other disabilities desiring academic adjustments, accommodations or auxiliary aids will need to contact the Southern Utah University Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD), in Room 206F of the Sharwan Smith Center or phone (435) 865-8022. SSD determines eligibility for and authorizes the provision of services.

 

Additional Resources: The Student Success Center in the Sharwan Smith Center has free tutoring available.
