Catalog Description: Introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one real variable. continuous functions, limit of a function at a point, the derivative. The differentiation formulas and rules for one variable functions, implicit differentiation. The mean value theorem and its application to optimization and curve sketching, linear approximation and differential notation. Introduction to the Riemann integral and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Applications of the Riemann integral to finding areas, volumes of solids of revolutions, work, centroids, and total force on a plane submerged in a fliud.
   
Prerequisites: Completion of Math 104 and Math 105, or completion of Math 109 (or equivalent), with a grade of "C" or better, or appropriate score on assessment exam. Students must be well-grounded in both college algebra and trigonometry to be successful in this first course in calculus.

Course Objectives:
1. Read, write, and speak accurately about mathematical ideas and use correct mathematical notation.
2. Use graphing technology to visualize functions, explore mathematical concepts, and verify their work.
3. Apply differentiation techniques and theory to functions of one variable.
4. Apply the concept of the derivative and integral to solve real-world problems and applications.
5. Demonstrate the fundamental relationship between the derivative and the integral.
6. use numerical, graphical, symbolic, and verbal representations to solve problems and communicate with others.
Important themes throughout our learning experiences in this course will include: Problem solving, Writing, Technology, Communication.
The concepts that students need to understand to demonstrate course outcomes are:

• The use of the graphing calculator and/or mathematical software as a fundamental problem-solving tool.
• The presentation of mathematical solutions in a logical coherent structure including the use of fundamental writing skills, grammar, and punctuation.
• Limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration, and their role in the major theorems of calculus.
• The connection between integration and differentiation.

Course Work:

Homework (MyLab): (15%)
Homework (Multiple sections assigned weekly in MyLab. Percentage is based on performance on all assigned homework.)
Homework will be completed in MyLab.  You will have help with the program if you are not already familiar with it.
Homework is a learning tool.  A good successful learning strategy is this: attempt all problems, and ask questions when a concept is unclear.
Take a short guided tour to get an idea of how MyLab works.

Quizzes: (15%)
A short QUIZ (10 to 15 minutes) will be given on Friday of every week in which there is no exam scheduled.  Quiz problems will be similar to homework problems. Of the approximately 10 quizzes given, the best 8 scores will be used in the calculations of your course percentage. Quizzes will be given at the beginning of each class.
There will be no make-up quizzes--no exceptions. If you miss a quiz, then you will receive a score of zero for that quiz.

Exams: (68%)
There will be 3 in-class written exams during the semester, and a comprehensive final exam.  Retakes on any 2 of the 3 semester exams (not for the final exam) will be available, providing that you complete a Retake Review in MyLab, achieving a 75% or better score.  Retakes on exams are only available to students who have completed the scheduled exams.
Note:  No make-up exams will be given.  Any scheduling conflicts must be resolved prior to the exam.

Tentative exam dates:

The final course grade will be based on the percentage of points earned out of the total possible, and overall class performance. Attendance is considered to be part of class performance.

Grading Schedule:

"A"  96% - 100% overall percentage and at least 85% on the Final Exam
"A-" 90% - 96% overall percentage and at least 80% on the Final Exam
"B+" 86% - 89% overall percentage and at least 75% on the Final Exam
" B " 80% - 85% overall percentage and at least 70% on the Final Exam
"C+" 76% - 79% overall percentage and at least 65% on the Final Exam
"C"  70% - 75% overall percentage and at least 60% on the Final Exam
"D"  60% - 69% overall percentage and at least 55% on the Final Exam
"F"   less than 60%

Note: The course may be taken for Pass/No Pass (P/NP), with a Pass grade being the equivalent of "C" or better.  If you want this option, you must select it through your CoM Student Portal by the deadline (2/27 see Important Dates link on homepage). It is no longer processed through your instructors.

***It is strongly recommended that students attend all classes and do at least all assigned problems.***

Electronic devices – Turn your cell phones off before class starts. 

Academic dishonesty – Academic dishonesty is not tolerated.  Cheating on any quiz or exam will result in a grade of zero for that quiz or exam (not to be dropped).

Excessive absences – Absences are strongly discouraged.  A day’s absence will mean a great deal of material missed.  It is very difficult to “catch up” on missed material in a math class.  Schedule appointments so they do not conflict with your class schedule.

Teacher’s note:
My goal as your teacher is to make the math content in our course as accessible to you as possible.  However, you must be willing to be an active participant in this process or little or no learning will result.  Also, the learning is not just between you and me—it takes place in your interaction with each other as well.  Collaboration in learning our course content is encouraged—except on quizzes or exams. You are also encouraged to visit me during office hours, or schedule an appointment with me.  The Tutoring Center (peer tutoring/LC160)and Math Lab (SC115) are also excellent resources you may wish to investigate.
