Course Description:

This course covers basic concepts of integral calculus.

Prerequisite:

Satisfactory completion of Math 251 with a grade of C or better or appropriate score on the college placement test.

Student Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to…

• Define and use key terms in the discussion of integral calculus and series analysis.

• Given a definite integral, use technology to solve definite integrals numerically.

• Given an indefinite integral, identify the methods that can be used to find the antiderivative and solve without the use of technology.

• Given a problem involving continuously varying parameter, apply the concepts of Riemann sums and create a definite integral to solve the problem.

• Given a series, identify proper tests and determine convergence/divergence.

• Apply series techniques to real life applications.

• Identify and solve basic differential equations.

• Improve your mathematical skills and abilities.
  

Expectations:

Attendance and Participation:

This class will focus on collaborative learning, so attendance and participation will be important. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class meeting. Absences and tardies will be noted and I reserve the right to drop any student who is consistently absent or late.

Materials

Required Text:
Calculus by Hughes-Hallett, et.al. , Fourth Edition

Graphing Calculator:
Preferably a TI-89

Resources

Learning Center
Canada College has an excellent well-staffed Learning Center in Room 5-105. You may obtain a tutor through the Learning Center. The workshop hours, held by the instructor, will also be at the Learning Center. Enrolling in a .5 unit class, LCTR 400, will allow you to have access to the computers and printing services at the learning center.

Math Lab:
In the Learning Center, Nancy Ward runs a Math Lab that can help students on a drop in basis.

Grading

Your course grade will be based on the following:

A: 90% - 100%
B: 80% - 89%
C: 70% - 79%
D: 60% - 69%
F: below 60%

Homework:
Homework will be assigned at the end of every lecture. Homework should be done neatly, folded lengthwise, and turned in at the beginning of the next class meeting. There will be opportunities to work on homework in the Math Lab Hours.

Quizzes:
There will be unannounced quizzes during the lecture times. These will be short answer questions that would take between 10-20 minutes of class time. No make-ups.

Exams:
There will be several exams. Each exam will cover approximately one chapter from the book and will be announced one week in advance. Make ups will be discussed near the end of the semester.

Final Exam:
The comprehensive final exam is on Wed, May 24 at 11:10 am - 1:40 pm. You must score at least 50% on the final exam in order to pass the class. Any score that is less than 50% will result in a score of 0 on the final exam and a failing grade.

Journals :
You will need a portfolio where you will keep your journal assignments. These assignments are focused on getting a deeper understanding of the material covered in class. There will be two types of journal assignments: (1) Personal progress as a math student and (2) highlights of important formulas with your own verbal interpretation.
