Course
Description: I shall cover chapters 6-9 and a departmental handout on complex
numbers. The main content of the course is devoted to techniques of
integration, applications of integration, infinite sequences and series, polar
coordinates, complex numbers, and conic sections. The objective of the
course is to master these topics and concepts, as well as improve problem
solving skills and critical thinking.
Grading:
There will be four tests (100 pts each), ten quizzes, and a
comprehensive final. Weekly homework will be collected. The semester grade will
be formed from quizzes - 15%, homework -
10%, three best tests - 25% each. 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 collected and graded weakly. 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.

assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. Contact
