Prerequisite: MATH 131, or the equivalent

• Textbook: J. Stewart, Calculus, Early Transcendentals, fifth edition, Brooks/Cole 2003
• Goals and Objectives of the Course: The purpose of this course, which is a continuation of MATH 131 is to study the methods of calculus in more detail. The course will cover the material in the textbook from Chapters 6-8 and 10-11: applications of the integral, methods of integration, infinite series, polar coordinates as well as complex numbers in more detail.
• Class Procedures: The majority of each class period will be lecture oriented.
• You are expected to:
  • attend the lectures and to take your own lecture notes,
  • read the section discussed in lecture and work out problems from that section,
  • do the homework problems.
• Course Requirements:
  • Tests: There will be four in-class one-hour midterm exams during the semester that will count for 80% of your total grade.
  • Quizzes: In addition there might be some short quizzes, which will not be announced in advance.
  • Homework: The homework will be assigned every lecture and is due at the beginning of the next lecture. The homework will count for 20% of the grade.
• Exam and Homework Policy:
  • Calculators will be allowed on the tests, but you have to show your work in detail. A correct answer without all intermediate steps leading to the result will not guarantee full credit.
  • Make-up exams will be given only in cases of extremely properly documented emergencies.
  • Late homework will not be accepted.
• Grading and Evaluation: Grades will be determined on a 100 point scale: 90%-100%: A; 80%-89%: B; 70%-79%: C; 60%-69%: D; < 60%: F. Those point totals near cutoff will be individually considered for the next higher grade. A plus/minus grades will be used, but there are neither A+ nor D- grades. I do reserve the right to add some extra points depending on the class participation and outstanding exam performance.
• Attendance Requirements: It is important that you attend every class scheduled for this course. You are responsible for all announcements and material covered in this class as well as material from the textbook which is assigned but not covered in class.
• Changes: The course plan may be modified during the semester. Such modifications will be announced in advance during class periods. You are responsible for keeping abreast of such changes.
• Remarks: It is important to note that this course is cumulative (builds on itself) and it is assumed that all earlier parts covered are liable for any exam. It is strongly advised that you start working on this course from the very beginning. The course moves at a fast place, so it is very hard to catch up if you get behind.
