LeConte 412 will be an open computer lab MW 2:30-10:00, F 9:00-11:00 and 1:30-6:00, TTh 2:00-10:00, Sa 2:00-6:00, and Su 2:00-10:00. The computer lab in LeConte 311 will be open these hours and also M-F mornings if not reserved by a class. You are encouraged to use LeConte 412 as a general purpose calculus study room and as a group project meeting room, as well as a calculus computer lab. Bob Murphy will be available for help with computers and Maple during hours which will be announced latter.
Course Content:
Chapter 5, sections 3, 4, and 5, chapter 4 sections 4 (end) and 5, chapter 6 all sections, chapter 11 sections 1 and 2, vectors and transformations (handouts), chapter 9, sections 1 and 2, chapter 11, sections 3 through 6, chapter 10, sections 2, 3, and 5, polar coordinates (handout). If time permits we will consider topics from chapters 7 and 8. All students will be expected to become fluent in Maple.
Grading:
Three major tests will be given, each worth 100 points. The exams will be on the following dates:
Test 1 Thursday, February 1
Test 2 Thursday, February 29
Test 3 Thursday, April 21
Final Thursday, April 25, 9:00AM.
At least nine ten-point quizzes will be given during the semester; the seven highest scores will be counted. No make-ups If an exam is missed, them the score recorded will be 75% of the average of the other exams including the final. It is cumulative and no exemptions will be granted. During the semester a total of 700 points may be earned:
Exams 300
Final 150
Quizes 70
Homework 110
Group projects 66
Oral presentations 14 (bonus points possible)
Letter grades will be announced separately for each exam, for the final, and for the overall homework and quiz totals. They will generally fall close to the scale 90--100 A, 80--89 B, 60--79 C, 60--69 D, below 60 is not passing. This will vary up or down depending on specific circumstances. Note that the deadline to drop this course without a grade of WF is February 16; you should have a pretty good idea before then how you are doing.
Collaboration:
One of the goals of this course is to learn how to communicate mathematical ideas. You will be expected to work with one another in class and on projects; the grading of joint work will depend in part on evidence of genuine collaboration. However, you will have to take the exams individually, so don't get too dependent upon one another.
Attendance:
Regular attendance is crucial for success in this course. Ten bonus points will be awarded for perfect attendance, and five bonus points for only one absence. No excuses will be considered in this regard.
