Textbook for Reference: Purcell, Rigdon & Varberg, Calculus with Differential Equations 9e, Prentice-Hall, (2007).

Course Description: Functions and their graphs, differentiation of polynomial, rational and trigonometric functions. Velocity and acceleration. Geometric applications of the derivative, minimization and maximization problems, the indefinite integral, and an introduction to differential equations. The definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Prerequisite(PERMISSION CODE): "C" or better in ((MATH 1050 AND MATH 1060) OR MATH 1080) OR AP Calculus AB score of 3 or better OR Accuplacer CLM score of 95 or better OR ACT Math score of 28 or better OR SAT Math score of 630 or better. If you do not meet the prerequisite and need a PERMISSION CODE to register, please submit the application here.

Grading Policy: Course grades will be calculated as follows:

  • Homework 20%
  • Quizzes 20%
  • Midterms 30%
  • Final 30%

Homework: Homework problems are assigned via WeBWork. This is where you go to do your on-line homework problems. You should receive email for the login username and password via your Umail. Please check your Umail regularly for homework assignments, due dates and updates. It probably helps you the most in terms of learning if you print out a hard copy of an entire problem set first, then work most or all the problems on paper, then enter and submit the answers in the on-line WeBWork window. Although you may try problems as often as you wish and only your top score will be recorded, if you adopt the strategy of randomly trying answers you will actually be wasting your time in terms of learning the concepts.

Tutoring Lab: If you need help with homework and class material, please go to T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Student Center. There will be plenty of TAs who can help you during the center hour.

Lab hours: Tutoring lab open on Monday, Jan 14. M-Th 8AM - 8PM; F 8AM - 6PM

Quizzes: There will be a 15 minutes closed-book quiz every Monday in class except Midterm weeks. NO make-up quizzes will be given. You are allowed to drop two quizzes.
