Addison Wesley, ISBN 978-0-321-57056-7
Class times: Monday
and Wednesday 10:00-11:20am in Conklin 100. You are also assigned a recitation section meeting
every Friday,
9:00am-3:20pm in Smith B23. Attendance
to the lectures and recitations are required. There will be attendance checks
in the lectures and a quiz on most Fridays. A perfect attendance record is
helpful when your course grade is on board lines.
Grading: two midterms 20% each
quizzes 20% total
homework (MML)10% total
final exam 30%
Calculators are NOT allowed in the midterms and final.
Course Objectives: This is a course in single-variable calculus, covering limits, derivatives, and the basics of integration. The approach will be rigorous, but with more emphasis on ideas and calculations, rather than proofs. A small fraction of final grade will depend on your ability to write simple proofs; if you are looking for a more proof-based approach, consider 20:640:155: Honors Calculus; if you are looking for a less rigorous approach, consider 20:640:119: Basic Calculus.
Prerequisites: 21:640:114: Precalculus. This means, according to the University Catalog, that you should be comfortable with algebraic, rational, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions; functions and inverse functions; solutions of nonlinear inequalities; advanced factoring techniques. For example: Which functions are called rational? Do you know the trigonometric identities? What is the sum of angle formula for sine and cosine? What is the exponential function and how it is related to exp(x). If you do not feel certain about these questions, you MUST spend extra time during the first weeks reviewing them by yourself. Also you may take advantage of recitations and office hours to ask for advice and fill in any gaps that you might have. We will start with Chapter 2 of your book. Chapter 1 is part of the prerequisites, so you should make sure that you are comfortable with the materials in that chapter.
Tutoring services are available in the Learning Resource Center in Room
140 Bradley Hall (973-353-5608). http://lc.newark.rutgers.edu. Check the web site for schedules.
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. Also if you are a student with disability and might need extra time to finish the exam MUST inform the instructor BEFORE the scheduled exam date.
Disability Center and further
support: If you
have some disabilities, or even some recurring problems which may hinder your
participation in class or at exams, please contact the University Office of
Disability Services to request accommodations for your condition. Feel free
to contact your instructor if you have any concerns about your condition and
how it could affect your participation. Visit also the website: http://disabilityservices-uw.rutgers.edu/ for further information.
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.
MyMathLab
(MML) and
enrollment: See
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~liguo/Class/MMLGuo.htm
for MML information. After
you use your purchased access code to create your personal account on MyMathLab, go to "Edit Profile".
Please provide a valid email that you will check regularly in your profile.
Choose "Enroll in classes" and type Class ID:guo12732. Please do so
early, as the first MyMathLab homework will be due on
Thursday Jan. 26th.
Note: hw-2A(quiz on Jan-27th) on MML means that the problems for the
quiz on September 9th will be picked up from hw-2A. And you need to supply all
the details on the quiz to get the full mark.
Warning: Enrolling on MyMathLab does not register you for the class. You need to be officially registered for the class in order to receive any credit-no exceptions!
Note:
Please
complete your homework by using MyMathLab ONLY and
submit them electronically. Do not submit any homework on papers. The
problems assigned on MyMathLab electronically
are also listed below (in parentheses). However these are only
tentative and one should follow the more up to date assignments on MyMathLab.
