Text:
1) Single Variable
Essential Calculus, Early Transcendentals by
James Stuart. The W&M Bookstore sells this as
well as a student solutions manual. This
course covers 5.5 – 8.7 and 3.4 (omit 7.3) |
|
| Topics: Area between curves, volumes (disk, washers, slicing), work, fluid force and pressure, substitution method of integration, integration by parts, trigonometric integrals, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, numerical methods of integration, improper integrals, arc length, modeling with differential equations, sequences, series, various test for convergence of series, power series, and Taylor and Maclaurin series. Topics are presented with an emphasis on definitions and proofs as well as applications. Students enrolled in this course are expected to know topics covered in Math 111, Calculus I. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluating limits (indefinite forms), differentiation (product, quotient, chain rules), and evaluating definite and indefinite integrals. Students should also have a strong understanding of algebra and trigonometry without using a calculator. | |
| Calculators: TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator is recommended. A calculator may be used for homework and labs but not on most quizzes, tests or the final exam. | |
|
Tests and Quizzes: There are three mid-semester tests on the following Wednesday lab sessions: February 15th, March 21st, and April 18th. Makeup tests are given only in extreme circumstances such as documented serious illness or personal circumstance as noted by the Dean of Students. Such documentation must be obtained prior to the start of the test. A weekly quiz covering 2-3 sections is administered during other lab sessions. There are no make-up quizzes, even for legitimate absences such as illness, family emergency, or a college sponsored event. There are no exceptions so please do not request a make-up quiz. Your lowest two quiz scores will be dropped, however, before your final grade is calculated. *To prepare for quizzes and tests, rework the assigned homework problems and all the example problems from class lectures; recreate the steps shown in class. Know definitions and review proofs and concepts presented in lecture. Each step of a problem is assigned points and graded on clarity and correctness so the final “answer” is only one part of the complete solution. Work must also be neatly presented in a logical and understandable fashion to receive full credit. |
|
|
Final Exam: The common final exam is a “block” exam taken by all sections of Math 112 from 9am-noon on Monday, April 30th. Your final exam score may replace your lowest attempted test score if it is higher. A practice final exam is located on the Math 112 website. |
|
|
Homework: Routine homework problems are assigned for each lecture but not usually graded. Understanding and completing the homework is essential for success in the course. Many of the quiz and test problems come from the homework. |
|
| Labs: The 4th hour of
this course is a lab session. You are required to
attend all your lab sessions and bring a printed copy of the
week’s lab assignment (not completed.) The lab
assignments are located on the Math 112 website; use your
schedule to determine which lab is needed each week.
Your assigned Teaching Assistant (TA) will give you helpful
instruction for each lab and then administer the weekly
quiz. Most completed labs are submitted the following
week (see schedule) and then graded by the TA. The lab
scores count toward your overall grade for the course.
Lab 0, located on the Math 112 website, is a review of
sections 5.1--5.4. Note: Lab 0 is a readiness
assessment; complete it without any assistance. It is
due at the first lab meeting on Wednesday, January 25th. All
assignments should be submitted to TA's office (Jones Hall
103), and there is a collection box outside. |
|
| GER1 Criteria: Course
content includes necessary numerical calculations,
mathematical justifications and applications. Attendance: Regular attendance is critical for success in this course. If you miss class, you are expected to get notes and missed material from a classmate. |
|
|
Grading: Your final grade is calculated as follows: Mid-semester Tests 15% each, Quizzes 15%, Labs 15%, Final Exam 25%. Scores are posted on Blackboard. The final letter grade is assigned using the scale: A 93-100, A- 90-92, B+ 87-89, B 83-86, B- 80-82, C+ 77-79, C 73-76, C- 70-72, D+ 67-69, D 63-66, D- 60-62, F < 60 |
