Course Description: I shall cover chapters
5, 6, 7, and 8, as well as Appendixes B, H, and I. The main content of
the course is devoted to techniques of integration, applications of
integration, introduction to differential equations, infinite sequences
and series, polar coordinates, complex numbers, and conic sections.
Grading: There
will be five tests(100 pts each), ten quizzes and four projects (10 pts
each), and a comprehensive final. The 10 best grades from the quizzes and
projects will form a quiz grade, which (if higher) will substitute the
lowest test grade. The average forms the semester grade. There will be
a comprehensive Final Exam (100 pts). The grade for the course is based
on 75% of the semester grade and 25% of the Final exam according to the
scale:
A 90 -100; B 80-89; C 70-79; D 60-69;
F below 59.
No make up tests or quizzes will be
given (unless proper excuse is provided).
Homework:
Homework will be assigned, but not graded. However, students are
expected to do their homework on time. It is the instructor's
experience that keeping up with the homework is an essential
part of the preparation for the course. The problems on the tests and the
quizzes will be similar to the homework.
