 Calculus: A Complete Course

Finney, Demana, Waits, Kennedy

Course Description:

This is Calculus II. We will start with a quick review of the ideas of derivatives and integrals. This will include an introduction to the computer program Maple and its applications to calculus. (This will cover roughly chapters 4-6 in the book.) We will then go on to cover more in depth applications of derivatives and integrals, and further topics including Differential equations, parametric equations, and power series. (This will take us up to chapter 10).

Homework, Tests, and All That:

 There will be a short quiz every Tuesday on which there is not a midterm. This is to provide both you and me with continual feedback on how the class is going.

No homework will be collected. I will assign suggested problems, which you should go over carefully. Some of the quiz problems will be closely related the sugested homework problems. In addition, we will sometimes spend class time working in small groups, the results of this group work will be collected and graded.

There will be two ``midterms'' and a cumulative final exam. The midterms will be on October 3 and November 14. The final will be at the officially scheduled final time.

There will also be a couple of projects due during the semester. Details of this will follow shortly...

You can make up a test ONLY if you have a compelling and well documented reason for missing it.

The above factors will count towards your final grade as follows:
 

Final:	25%
Midterms:	15% each
Quizzes:	15%
Projects:	20%
Class Participation/Worksheets:	10%
