COURSE DESCRIPTION: First course in Calculus and Analytic Geometry. This course will consider:  limits and their properties; differentiation and applications; integration; logarithmic, exponential, and other transcendental functions

TEXTBOOK: Calculus, by Larson, Hostetler, Edwards (8th edition, 2006)

EVALUATION: Five 50-minute exams will be given during the semester. 100 pts. Each.

                          Test 1  Chapter 1 Limits and Their Properties
                          Test 2  Chapter 2  Differentiation
                          Test 3  Chapter 3 Applications of Differentiation
                          Test 4  Chapter 4 Integration
                          Test 5  Chapter 5 Logarithmic, Exponential, and other Transcendental Functions.

Homework and announced/unannounced quizzes 100 pts.

The lowest of the first four exam scores may be dropped

Thus, TOTAL POINTS FOR THE CLASS would be 500 pts.

Grades will be assigned as follows:

450 – 500 A, 400 – 449 B, 350 – 399 C, 300 – 349 D, below 300 F

CHEATING POLICY: If caught cheating in any way, the student will receive an F for the final grade.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: To be successful in a math course, attendance would be very important, almost critical. If more than two weeks of classes are missed without a valid excuse ( death in family, hospitalization, nuclear blast, etc.) I reserve the right to withdraw you from class with an F. If you know in advance that you cannot attend class on a certain day, you may possibly get my prior approval. There are no make-up exams or quizzes. If you come to class late, you will not receive extra time for exams or quizzes.
