Text book: Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, 4th edition (ISBN 0-534-35563-3).
Examinations and grading: There will be two mid-term exams, weekly quizzes, weekly worksheets, weekly homework, and a final exam. There are 450 possible points:
Mid-term exams: The first will be on Tuesday, October 23; the second will be on Tuesday, November 20. These will be given in your quiz section. You must bring a photo ID to each exam. The mid-terms will be 50 minute exams, but we will give you 80 minutes to take them. For each mid-term exam, you are allowed to use one handwritten 8.5'' by 11'' sheet of notes; calculators are not allowed. There are no make-up exams. If you miss an exam, speak to the professor about it as soon as possible.
Final exam: The final exam will be on Saturday, December 15, time and place to be announced. There will be no make-up exam. As with the mid-terms, you will be allowed one 8.5'' by 11'' sheet of notes, and you can't use a calculator.
Addendum: The final exam for Math 124, Sections E and G, is at 1:30 pm, December 15, in Kane 120.
Quiz sections: Twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday, you will meet with a Teaching Assistant in groups of about 25. Your TA will answer questions about the homework, help with the worksheets, and help you prepare for the quizzes and exams. Most Tuesdays you will do a worksheet and turn in homework; most Thursdays you will have a short quiz.
Homework: Homework will be assigned regularly, and it will be due each Tuesday in your quiz section, unless your TA announces otherwise. Feel free to work with other people, but you must write your solutions yourself. The Math Study Center is a great place to meet and work on your homework together. Check the course web page for the current homework assignment. As far as the grading goes, you will get some points for trying the assigned problems, and I will also pick three or four problems each week to be graded thoroughly by the graders.
Quizzes: Most Thursdays you will have a 20 minute quiz; the quizzes will be based on the current homework problems. Addendum: When computing your grade, we will drop your lowest quiz score.
Calculators: You will need a calculator for the homework, and you will be allowed to use a calculator on many of the worksheets and quizzes. Calculators are not allowed on the mid-term exams or the final.
Quiz section meeting times: Notice that the quiz sections are 80 minutes long on Tuesdays and 50 minutes on Thursdays. Because of this, they may start at different times, and meet in different rooms, depending on the day of the week. Also, because of issues beyond my control, some of you may have been moved from one quiz section to another, so please check your registration.
