Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 7 Ed. By J. Stewart.
Text:
Calculator: Any scientific calculator or calculator app on a mobile device will suffice.
Note, however, that such technology will be allowed on exams.
Prerequisite: A standard course in precalculus (MAT 130).
Course Context
While Calculus was invented about 300 years ago, it is and will always be a vital tool in the
application of and development of science * and engineering. Why that is is easy to explain:
Calculus is a collection of mathematical tools for working with rates of change. Scientists and
engineers are quite interested in things that change, and thus, rates of change. If and when the
universe dies, then there will no longer be a need for Calculus.
And, fortunately, Calculus is deep and interesting on its own, making its study rewarding
regardless of one’s life path.
Learning Goals
Students will develop their intuition and understanding of functions, limits, continuity, the
derivative and the integral, as well as their applications. The students will be able to give
definitions of the above concepts and their different interpretations as discussed in class. The
students will be able to state and use the theorems discussed, as well as give rationale for
theorems – in particular for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In terms of the text, we will
cover chapters 2 through 5.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes. If you miss a class, contact a fellow student for the
information (activities, assignments, etc.) you missed.
Cellphone Conduct
If your cellphone is on during class, the sound must be muted. Texting or emailing during class
is distracting to others in the room, and hence, not allowed.
Homework
Homework will be assigned frequently. Selected problems will be collected or graded.
*
By “science,” I include all data-driven fields that use numbers for counting or measuring. Thus, science would
include sociology, politics, education, economics, finance, public health, etc.
Homework will be graded on correctness, neatness and style. Homework will be due at the
beginning of class. Late homework will not be accepted.
Lab
The lab will principally serve two purposes: (1) provide opportunities to present solutions to
worked problems, and (2) provide additional time in which to ask questions on particular
assigned homework problems. Presentations in labs will determine your lab grade. Ignoring
small mistakes, if your presented solution is largely on the right track, you will earn 1 point for
the presentation; otherwise you will get 0 points. Each earned point will count toward 20% of
your lab grade, i.e., five successful presentations will earn the full 10% for the lab grade.
Exams
There will be three 1-hour exams and a comprehensive final. Exams will measure your
conceptual understanding of the material and problem solving skills. No notes, books or
calculators will be allowed during exams. I expect to give the 1-hour exams on September 26,
October 24, and November 21. The final, which will be comprehensive, will be given at 1:00 pm
on Monday, December 16th. If you miss an exam, acceptable written documentation for the
absence must be supplied to be eligible for a makeup.
The grading scheme is as follows:

Lab

Supplemental Instruction and Learning Commons
This course is supported by Supplemental Instruction, and the times/dates of SI sessions will be
presented early in the semester. And, beyond my office hours, extra math help can be found
(free) in the Learning Commons housed in the lower level of the library.
Last day to drop: October 28th.
Final Notes:
• You are expected to follow the Carroll University Academic Integrity Policy as dictated
in the student handbook.
• The instructor and the College reserve the right to modify, amend, or change the syllabus
(course requirements, grading policy, etc.) as the curriculum and/or program require(s).
• Special accommodations for this course may be granted via direct orders from the Walter
Young Center. It is your responsibility to notify the WYC of your special needs. (They
will require certain forms of verifiable documentation or diagnoses.) Such
accommodations will be made only after the instructor has received notification from the
WYC, and will not be given retroactively for previous assignments, quizzes or exams.
