Course Objectives: The course is a rapid survey of Calculus. Starting with a review of functions, the course proceeds through the highlights of differential, integral, and even some multi-variable Calculus.
Important: Basic Calculus is intended for students who won't be taking Calculus I or further calculus courses. Students cannot receive credit for both Basic Calculus and Calculus I. Basic Calculus is NOT a preparation for Calculus I. If your major requires calculus courses beyond Basic Calculus, then this course is not for you!
Tutoring services are available in the Learning Resource Center in Room 140 Bradley Hall (973-353-5608).
Make-up exams will be allowed only in extreme situations (e.g. death in the family, serious illness with a doctor's note) and I must be notified BEFORE the scheduled exam date.
Homework is very important! Each of the entries in the weekly outline below contains a list of homework problems for that day. You should do those problems by the next class. In my experience, students who do each homework assignment carefully and on time do well. The students who don't don't.
TA: Our teaching assistant is Yan Shen (yans@andromeda.rutgers.edu). She has office hours Monday--Thursday 11:30am--noon in Smith 203. Her office telephone number is 973-353-5156x54.
