Text: Applied Calculus. Hughes-Hallet, Gleason, Lock, Flath, et al., Wiley, 3rd ED., 2006

Prerequisites: Qualification through placement or a grade of C or better in Math 111 or 115.

 

Student learning outcomes: We will review linear, exponential, logarithmic, and elementary algebraic functions at beginning and also review some algebraic operations on functions. Basically, these are what you have learned in high school or in Math111. After the first test, students will learn the concepts of differentiation and integration in order to analyze the behaviors of above functions and obtain some information from these functions such as maxima, minima, rate of change, area under the graph of a function. Furthermore, students will learn how to model and solve real world problems (economics, business, physics, and biology, etc.) by using mathematical tools.

 

Calculator: You need a graphing calculator. TI-83 or TI-84 is strongly recommended. A calculator with a computer algebra system, like TI-89, is NOT allowed.

 

Grading policy: 

1. Quizzes (9 ~ 10 times)

2. Each test (3 times)

3. Final Exam *(Optional)

  *Final exam is accumulated.

**Students who get at more than 90% of every test can exempt the final exam.   

 

 

I preserve the right to change the grading policy.

 

Attendance and Make-up test policy: I will take attendance every class. Absences in more than 10 percent of the classes can affect the final grade. Even if you have a formal certificate to explain your absences, you have to inform me in one week. If you have missed more than three classes without any reasons, then I am not going to give you make-up tests or quizzes.

 

Homework policy: Homework will be assigned, but won’t be collected in genreal. I will only collect some class assignments.

 

Academic Honesty: Any student caught cheating in quizzes, tests, or final exams will receive an F for the course. I will refer the case to the Office of Academic Integrity.
