Text: Calculus, Early Transcendental Functions, Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards, 4th Edition

Calculator/Software:

• TI-82 or better (TI-83 recommended).  TI-89's and TI-92's are not allowed on exams.
• Maple. You do not need to buy Maple (and I suggest you don't), but if you want to use it at home, you can purchase a student version for about $120.

Pre-requisites:

Officially, you need to have passed a Calculus II class (equivalent to MAC 2312). Unofficially, you should have a good grasp on precalculus, differentiation, and integration.

Homework:

Usually, homework will be assigned every Wednesday, and it will be collected on the following Wednesday.  A list of homework assignments is available on the website. Homework will be discussed on the day 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 (typically) will be selected to be graded for correctness.  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.

In addition, there will be some Maple assignments. These should be done before doing the main homework, so that you can get a feel for what is going on.

Exams:

There will be two in-class exams and a final exam:

Exam 1: Wednesday, February 13, in class
Exam 2: Wednesday, March 12, in class
Final: Monday, April 28, in class

Of course, there are no excuses for missing an exam.

Quizzes:

There will be a take home quiz each Wednesday based on the current homework assignment. It will be due at the beginning of the next class.  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		21%
	Exam 2 		26%
	Final		28%

Office Hours:

My office hours are Monday/Wednesday, 10:00-11:00, 2:30-3:45, or by appointment.  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.
