MA 172 - Section 6

    Textbook

    Calculus, by James Stewart, 4th Edition (1999), Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.

    Objective

      To develop student mathematical and analytic skills. To present the fundamental concepts of single variable calculus and to develop student understanding and skills in the topic necessary for its applications in the sciences and engineering.

    Course policies

    Maple

      There will be two assignments using Maple , a computer algebra and graphics system. These are due on March 3 and April 1, respectively. For a basic introduction to Maple click here . You will be able to use Maple in the computer lab located in room 213 of Madison Hall. This program is also installed in the Research Institute (M-10) and at various campus locations.
    Hourly examinations
      There will be three 55 minute in-class examinations during the semester. These are scheduled for February 10, March 10 and April 7.

    Final examination

      There will be a comprehensive final examination on April 30 from 11:30-2:00pm.

    Make-ups

      No make-up tests or quizzes will be given, and no accommodations will be made for a missed quiz. If you miss a test due to a documented illness, family emergency or other extreme circumstance, the weight of your remaining grades will be adjusted to compensate provided I receive a written excuse within a reasonable amount of time after the missed test.

    Calculators

      No programmable or Graphic calculators are allowed in the tests. Only basic calculators are allowed. If the calculator costs more than $15, you are buying the wrong calculator.
    Quizzes
      Every week, except for weeks in which an hourly exam is given, there will be a quiz in your lecture session. Each quiz will be graded. There will be a total of 12 quizzes. The quizzes will be based on the homework assigme nts. Each quiz will count 10 points and your lowest two scores will be dropped. Your cumulative quiz scores will make up 15% of the final course grade.

    Homework

      Homework will be assigned weekly in your lecture sessions, but not collected. .

    Course grading

      Each student's grade will be based on the individual grades from exams and assignments. The approximate percentage weights are as follows:

        Grade Weights

        Item Approx.
        Weight
        Three Mid-term Exam(s) 45%
        Final Exam 30%
        Quizzes (15%)+Maple (8%)+Attendance (2%) 25%
        Total 100%

        Grading Scale

        A 90.0 - 100%
        B 80.0 - 89.9%
        C 70.0 - 79.9%
        D 60.0 - 69.9%
        F Below 60.0%

      The grades will not be curved. That is, there is no quota for the number of A's, B's, etc. that will be given for the course.
