Calculus in Context by James Callahan &
Kenneth Hoffman |
| |
| Technology: |
We will use Maple to help us explore the concepts
learned in class. In fact, a significant portion of the homework, quizzes,
and exams will require its use. We will also use the World-Wide Web as
a means of distributing course information. The URL is
http://www.math.sc.edu/~murphy/teaching/
|
| |
| Grade Info: |
There will be three exams and one cumulative final
exam. Homework will be assigned and collected nearly every day. Not all
of these will count toward your grade, but you are expected to do each
problem assigned. At least 12 quizzes will be given during the semester.
The ten highest quiz scores will be counted. |

| Make-up policy: |
No make-up exams, quizzes, or homework will
be given. Only {medical, death in the family, religious, official
USC business} reasons are valid excuses for missing an exam and
must be verified by letter from {doctor, guardian, supervisor}
to instructor. In the case of an excused exam, the score on the
final exam will replace the missed exam. |

| Help is available: |
Working together on homework assignments is a great
way to learn mathematics so I encourage this. You may also wish to use the
Math Lab's free tutoring service (LC 101, MTWTh: 1 pm - 8 pm, F: 1 pm - 3 pm).
