Overview
This course should introduce you to basic concepts from calculus, with focus on differentiation, integration, and applications.
Topics covered in this course include the following: limits, continuity, differentiation, mean value theorem, curve sketching, related rates, integration, and volumes of solids.
Homework
Homework problems (both online and textbook problems) will be assigned after each class period on the class website. Written homework will be due every week in recitation and online homework will be due every Sunday unless stated otherwise. You are expected to show all of your work in order to get credit for a problem.
It is encouraged that you do practice problems on your own. Answers to odd exercises can be found in the back of the book. You may work together on homework but the final product needs to be your own work. If you work with other students, please indicate this on your homework.
Quizzes
There will be a 10-15 min quiz each Thursday during the recitation period. Quizzes will be on the material that was covered the previous recitation.
Exams
There will be four written exams given throughout this course: three midterms and a final. Exams will be closed book and without calculators. The final exam is a common final and will be cumulative. Here are the tentative exam dates:.
Midterm 1: Friday, September 14
Midterm 2: Friday, October 19
Midterm 3: Friday, November 16
Final Exam: Wednesday, December 12, 12-2pm
Practice problems will be given out to help students prepare before each exam. Students should understand the concepts covered, not memorize problems. Understanding is key in receiving a good grade.
Late Work
Late homework, make up quizzes, and make up exams will only be accepted/given in the case of a legitimate absence that must be approved by the instructor.

Grades will be assigned based on the standard 10% grading scale. Cutoffs may be lowered if needed. The lowest quiz and lowest two assignments will be dropped.
Academic Integrity
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Work that you turn in should be entirely your own. If it appears that you have copied someone else’s work, you will receive a score of 0 for that particular assignment, quiz, or exam.
