Text: ``Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions'' by Larson, Hostetler, & Edwards, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin 2007. We will cover material from Chapters 10-15. Topics include Integration, polar coordinates, conic sections, vectors.
Study Problems: Attached is a list of study problems for each section to be covered. These problems will not be graded; however, they can be used to earn up to a five percent point on each exam. The week of each exam, students can show their work on the sections being tested and earn credit for each section which most study problems are completed. I will take questions concerning the study problems during our question and answer session each Monday 11:50-12:40. Some of the study problems are likely to appear on the exams.

The problems are intended to help you learn the material, and some of them will appear on exams. Ultimately, students are responsible for their own learning, which may require that doing more problems than those listed. I am expecting you to be responsible students and at the very least do the listed problems. I assume that if you are in Calculus III, that you know the value of doing so.

As further encouragment to do the problems I will state this now. Most of the exam questions will be either from homework or like a homework problem (often from the text). Of course I reserve the right to put a problem or two which differ from the style of homework problems but cover the same concepts.

Exams: Four in-class exams will be held on {\bf September 18}, October 9, November 6, and December 4 (these dates are Fridays-exams will cover up to preceding Friday, with chance for questions on the Monday before the exam. We will go over the exams the next Monday). The specific material covered by each exam will be announced in class. The in-class exams cannot be made up unless arrangements are made at least four weeks in advance. This will require that you give the instructor written notice of the date(s) and reasons. If you miss one exam, it will be treated as your lowest in-class exam which carries no weight in the course grade. A comprehensive final exam will be held Wednesday, December 9 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm in LIF 267.

Graphing calculators and notes are not allowed during any exam. Hats which block students' eyes also not permitted during exams. Clear water bottles must have all labels removed.

Attendance: Attendance will not count toward your grade, but I reserve the right to take attendence if it begins to drop. However, students are responsible for material presented in lecture even if it is not in the text and vice versa. It is my intention to follow the outline of the text. However, some of the examples will come from other sources. On occasion, students will need to follow an example from the text to do a problem.

Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent due to the observation of a ma jor religious holiday must provide notice of the date in writing to the instructor by the second class meeting.

Grades: The components of the course grade and their weight in the grade are as follows: final exam 34%, lowest in-class exam 0%, other in-class exams 22% each (for a total of 66%). If you miss (or choose not to take) one of the in-class exams, it will be counted as the lowest score.

I will apply mild curves to all exams. Intermediate grades may not use +/-, but the final grade will

Notes and Tapes: You are expected to take notes. All unauthorized recordings of class are prohibited. Recordings that accommodate individual student needs must be approved in advance and may be used for personal use during the semester only; redistribution is prohibited.
Course Objectives: Gordon Rule 6A Computations, Gen Ed - Quantitative Methods.
