Text:  Stewart, Calculus 9e. with WebAssign Online Homework Access Card

Objective:This second course in calculus emphasizes integral calculus of functions of one variable.  The primary aims of the course are to help students develop new problem solving and critical reasoning skills and to prepare them for further study in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering.  By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• evaluate definite and indefinite integrals;
• interpret definite integrals as accumulations of rates of change and as Riemann sums;
• explain and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus;
• recognize the difference between definite and indefinite integrals;
• apply integration to several types of physical problems;
• differentiate, integrate, and solve problems with exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions;
• compute complicated integrals using a combination of substitutions, algebraic and trigonometric manipulation, partial fractions, and parts;
• recognize and compute improper integrals;
• compute areas, volumes, and arc lengths;
• identify and solve the separable equations, logistic equations, and first order linear equations
• use Maple effectively to explore and solve calculus problems;
• analyze and solve complex problems; and
• provide clear written explanations of the ideas behind key concepts from the course.

Students should also gain an increased appreciation of mathematics as part of the language of science and as a study in itself.

Computer Software:  The calculus classes will meet in computer classrooms equipped with one PC for every two students.  A variety of mathematical and statistical software is available on these computers, including the computer algebraic system Maple.  Substantial use of Maple will be made in this class and in many subsequent math courses.  Maple will be available for use on computers in labs throughout the campus.  Copies of the software for use on your own computer will also be available for purchase at a substantial discount for students (You need to get a discount code from your instructor).

Calculator:   Scientific/graphic calculators  may be allowed in exams/quizzes.  However, calculators with more than184 K combined memory (RAM/Flash ROM) or symbolic computation ability are NOT allowed (e.g.TI-83 Plus Silver Ed., TI-89, TI-92 Casio FX-2.0 HP 38g, 39g, 40g, 48g/48g+/48gx, 49g).  You are expected to learn to use your calculator on your own.

Exams and Quizzes:  There will be 15-18 quizzes, 3 in-class exams and a final.

• Each quiz covers homework problems from the last few class meetings.
• The lowest two quiz grades will be dropped.

Homework: Homework problems will be assigned daily by using the online homework system WebAssign.  Quizzes problems will be based on homework problems.

Makeups on exams ARE NOT AUTOMATIC.  Do NOT assume that because you miss an exam that you will get to make it up. A makeup exam must be APPROVED by me. Lying to avoid taking an exam is considered as an act of academic dishonesty.

A grade of "Incomplete" will not be given if the student does not have a passing grade (70%) at the time of the request.

Attendance: Beginning with the first week of the quarter, attendance will either be taken by the instructor, or based on participation from weekly small graded learning/assessment opportunities.

Class Participation:
1. You can get class participation points by answering questions in class.
2. There are group classwork everyday.
At the end of the quarter, your grades on class participation will be determined by the above activities and other observations by the instructor. You Class Participation grade will be calculated based on a 15-point scale.

Grading:  There are 400 points possible.  Your grade will be assigned by the following rules:

Study Hints: Studying in groups is an efficient way to learn mathematics. 

Reasonable Accommodation Statement

If you have a specific disability that qualifies you for academic accommodations, please contact Disabled Student Services in the Center for Learning to make your accommodations request. Once your eligibility has been determined, Disabled Student Services will send a Disability Verification Letter to your professors indicating what accommodations have been approved.

Students with disabilities need to contact Disabled Student Services in the Center for Learning to request academic accommodations. Disabled Student Services sends Disability Verification Letters out to all your professors indicating the appropriate accommodations for the classroom based on your disability.

Academic Schedule Religious Accommodation Policy

Students who would like to request an accommodation for a religious holiday (e.g. request that an exam scheduled for a religious holiday be rescheduled) should make a written request within the first two weeks of the course pursuant to SPU’s Academic Schedule Religious Accommodation Policy. The policy is posted in the Undergraduate Student Handbook at https://spu.edu/administration/office-of-student-life/handbook/behavioral-community-expectations/university-policies and on page 16 of the 2019-20 Graduate Student Handbook, which is posted at https://spu.edu/catalog/graduate/20190/student-life.

Penalties for Breaches of Academic Integrity Statement

See the current SPU catalog for the definitions of academic integrity.  In addition, lying to avoid taking an exam is considered by the instructor as an act of academic dishonesty.

Penalties for breaches of academic integrity includes no credits for the work in question or no credits for the course.
