Syllabus |
Text: Calculus (5th edition) by James Stewart.
Prerequisites: Math 31B or equivalent.
Class Meetings: This course meets for lecture 3 days a week and for discussion section 1 day a week (4 total). I will conduct lectures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Please feel free to ask questions in lecture, though preferably none regarding homework problems. I will be doing many problems and examples during class and I am more than happy to help you with homework problems during my office hours. On Tuesdays or Thursdays your TA will lead a discussion section where they can answer any questions and homework problems can be discussed. The TAs will also help with those homework problems during their office hours.
Homework: Assigned in each Lecture and Collected during Lecture the Following Friday. HW is due no later than 10:05 a.m. in Lecture on each Friday. No Late HW will be accepted. You will be allowed to drop the two lowest HW scores. HW will be returned the following week in discussion section:
Exams:
Midterm #1 on Wednesday, 23rd of April 2008 at 10:00am-10:50am in TBA
Midterm #2 on Wednesday, 14th of May 2008 at 10:00am-10:50am in TBA
Final Exam on Weds, 11th of June 2008 at 3-6:00pm in TBA
These times and dates are fixed in stone, so make sure now that you have no conflicting plans. No Make Up Exams Will Be Given Under Any Circumstances. See also under Grades below. During each exam, you must bring a picture ID. No graphing calculators, computers, or notes are allowed during exams. Special Note: university policy dictates that we must assign a failing grade to students who do not take the final exam.
Before exams are returned in discussion, I will take a random selection of exams to be copied. We take painstaking detail and effort in our grading practices to virtually eliminate any re-grades on exams. If you fall into the unfortunate circumstance that a re-grade is requested, make sure you document any additional material that was added to the exam after it was returned to you that deviates to what was originally there. After the midterm is returned, a strict deadline will be posted in class to which a re-grade can be requested. Be aware that a re-grade means that your exam will be graded from scratch, and it is entirely possible that you will receive a lower score than originally given, if I decide that the original grade was too high.
Final Exams are kept for one quarter, stored for a second to be picked up and recycled soon thereafter.
Math Help Besides the instructor's and TAs’ office hours
additional help is available M-R 10:00am - 3:00pm in the Student Math Center located
in MS 3974, where undergraduates math majors as well as graduate math majors will
be able to help you with mathematics.

In all of the above, 'copying' does not only refer to producing verbatim copies using the material of someone else, but includes the taking of the material belonging to someone else and turning them in, in a slightly changed format or writing, pretending as if it was your own.
