| Prerequisite: | Qualification through placement, or a grade of C or better in Math 111 or 115. |
| Text: | Applied Calculus (3rd edition) by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, Lock, Flath, et al. The Student Solutions Manual and Student Study Guide are optional. |
| Calculator: | A graphing calculator is required for this course. A TI-83 or TI-84 is highly recommended since my in-class instructions will be for these two calculators. You should always bring your calculator to class. |
Attendance: You are expected to come to every class on time and stay until the end of class.
Work Load: There will be daily reading and homework. Homework is never turned in, but always discussed. There will be around 1 quiz per week for which I will give feedback, but quizzes do not count toward your course grade. You should expect to work at least 6-9 hours per week outside of class.
Test and Final Exam Dates: (no make-ups allowed)
| Test 1: | Thursday, September 20 |
| Test 2: | Thursday, October 25 |
| Test 3: | Thursday, November 29 |
| Cumulative Final Exam: | Tuesday, December 11, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM |
