Text:

  •  Calculus (Early Transcendentals), by James Stewart (8th edition). Getting a paper copy is not necessary, but you may want one. 
  • Some options for buying the book can be found here.
  • We quickly review some important notions from Calculus I and then cover Chapters 7, 8, 10, 11; see the calendar for the sections that are covered in this semester.

Homework:

  • Recommended homework for Chapters 2-7 and Chapters 8 and 11 and Chapter 10.
  • You will do some group works in class (each Monday); these are collected and will be counted toward your grade. I will drop your lowest two scores if you do not have more than 3 absent scores  during the semester (I would not accept any late submissions for the group works).
  • Look at this file to find your group.

Quizzes:

  • There will be ten quizzes throughout the semester.
  • Quizzes are given on Fridays and will be based on sections covered on Monday-Thursday of that week.  
  • Each quiz will consist of one to three problems either taken directly from the homework assignments or very closely related to the homework assignments.
  • These quizzes will be taken at the end of the class period on the day in which they are given.
  • Only your eight best quizzes will count towards your grade, therefore, no make-up quizzes will be allowed for any reasons. If you happen to miss a quiz then it will count as one of those that are dropped.

Tests:

  • There will be three in-class tests.
  •  Make-up tests will be given only in the case of an unavoidable emergency to students who obtain permission to miss a test in advance.
  • The dates for the tests are as follows:

           Test II: October 20.

           Test III: November 17.
