Text: Calculus, Early Transcendental Functions, Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards, 4th Edition
Calculator: TI-82 or better (TI-83 recommended). TI-89 and TI-92 are not allowed.
Pre-requisites:: Calculus I, of course. Overall, you need a competent grasp of precalculus, limits, and derivatives.

Major Topics:: Integration/Antiderivatives
Applications of Integration
Techniques of Integration
Sequences
Series
Taylor/Maclaurin Series

Homework:: Homework will be assigned each week on Wednesday, and collect on the following Wednesday. A list of homework assignments is available on the website. Homework will be discussed on the Wednesday that it is due. Late homework will not be accepted. Because there are no TA sections for this class, you are strongly encouraged to attend office hours. The only way to learn calculus is to do lots of problems (perhaps more than is assigned). Homework is not counted much towards your final grade (10 percent), but if you don't do the homework, you won't learn the material, and you will probably fail the exams. Moral of the story, DO THE HOMEWORK.; For each homework assignment, five problems will be selected to be graded. You will be told which of the problems will be graded. While I am willing to answer questions about the graded problems in office hours, I will NOT discuss these problems in class. Your homework grade will be based upon these graded problems AND a completion score for the entire homework
Exams:: There will be three exams:; Of course, there are no excuses for missing an exam.
Quizzes:: There will be a quiz each Wednesday based on the current homework assignment. Of course, there are no excuses for missing a quiz, and make-up quizzes will be a rare breed.

Grades:

The grades will be worked out as follows:

	Homework 10%
	Quizzes 15%
	Exam 1 25%
	Exam 2 25%
	Exam 3 25%

In addition, to pass the class you must get a C on at least one exam (you cannot pass the class on homework and quizzes alone).

Office Hours:

My office hours are Monday and Wednesday, 2:00-3:45 and 5:30-6:00, or by appointment. If I'm in, I am more than willing to meet with students outside of regular office hours. My office is My office is Building 14, Room 2709. I am a big fan of office hours, and especially since you don't have a TA, you are strongly encouraged to come to my hours.

General Education Outcomes:

MAC 2312 is designed to satisfy the following criteria from the Central Student Outcomes of General Education:

II D. 1. Students should be able to demonstrate general knowledge of the breadth, power, and development of major areas of mathematics.

We reach this goal by devoting about two-thirds of the course to integration and about one third of the course to infinite series. An important application of the integration techniques and concepts studied in this course is the calculation of volumes of solids with curved surfaces. Course lectures cover integration, integration techniques, and convergence and divergence of infinite series. These lectures also include the concepts needed to understand the topics, the skills needed to apply the concepts, and a discussion of the scope of these concepts.

II. D. 2. Students should be able to demonstrate proficiency in solving problems using mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning.

We reach this goal by setting-up and evaluating integrals and by studying tests for the convergence and divergence of infinite series. The acquired techniques will be applied to calculate volumes of revolution and to determine convergence properties of infinite series.
