The textbook for this course is Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, 6th edition.
The course covers the following sections of the textbook:
The first hour test was on Friday,
February 17.
it covered up
through Section 3.3 of the textbook.
The second hour test was on Wednesday,
March 21.
It covered Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.9
of the textbook.
The third hour test was on Friday, April 13. It covered sections 4.5, 4.7, 5.1, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5.
Learning outcomes: A student who completes Calculus I (Math 141) should be able to apply calculus techniques to a wide range of problems and begin to be able to approach problems from a conceptual viewpoint.
In particular, the successful student will master concepts and gain skills needed to solve problems related to finding limits (including one-sided limits, infinite limits, and limits at infinity); continuity and differentiability; rates of change (including related rates); taking derivatives of various functions (powers, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric) and their sums, quotients, products, and compositions; and differentiation of implicit functions.
The successful student will also be able to use differentiation to find extrema and local extrema of functions, and to plot their graphs; and to find limits using l'Hopital's rule to resolve indeterminate forms.
The successful student will master the concept of integration and its link to antidifferentiation via the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; will understand and use the technique of u-substitution; and will apply these concepts and techniques to the finding of areas and of total net change over intervals.

There is no due date, but once a correctly solved problem has been handed back to the student who did it, the problem is no longer eligible for extra credit.
If you get stuck on an extra credit problem, you can get partial credit for what you did if you hand it in; hints will be given on how to continue or to repair mistakes you made.
