Math 2300: Calculus 2, Fall 2006

Text: Single Variable Calculus, by Anton, Bivens & Davis

MTWRF in MUEN E126



Catalogue Description: Continuation of MATH 1300. Topics include transcendental functions, methods of integration, polar coordinates, conic sections, improper integrals, and infinite series.

A detailed schedule of topics may be found here.

Prerequisites: Calculus 1. (Students with credit in MATH 2300 may not receive credit in either MATH 1320 or APPM 1360.)

WileyPLUS is an online system that integrates various tools for learning, for example, reading materials, practice problems, and `Just ask' tutorials. Access WileyPLUS using the link in the left panel.

Homework: Homework assignments will be posted through WileyPLUS, and all homework must be submitted online through WileyPLUS by the given deadline. No other form of submission will be accepted, and no late homework will be accepted. The five lowest homework scores will not count towards the final grade.

Homework usually will be assigned MWF and will be due at 7am before the second succeeding MWF lecture. (So, for example, HW assigned for Monday must be submitted online by 7am Friday, while HW assigned for Wednesday must be submitted online by 7am Monday.)

Recitation: The Thursday meeting of this course is for your Recitation. The purpose of the recitation is to give you an opportunity to `recite' (or review) the material from the lecture. You are expected to attend the lectures and spend time working on the HW before coming to the recitation. At the end of the semester you will receive a recitation grade based on recitation quizzes, your participation and your behavior in recitation. `Participation' means coming to class on time, paying attention to what your TA asks you to do, and working on the recitation exercises during recitation. `Behavior' means not interfering with the academic environment.

Exam Dates: There will be three midterm exams and a final exam:

  • Mid1: September 20 (Wednesday), 5:15-6:45 pm,
  • Mid2: October 18 (Wednesday), 5:15-6:45 pm,
  • Mid3: November 15 (Wednesday), 5:15-6:45 pm.
  • Final: December 19 (Tuesday), 4:30-7:00 pm.
Other important dates (for example, drop deadlines, holidays, etc.) may be found here.

Grading Criteria and Formula: Your work will be judged on the basis of correctness, completeness, and legibility. You will receive a recitation grade, a homework grade, grades on three midterm exams and a grade on the final exam. Your course grade will be determined from these by the formula:

Rec(10%) + HW(14%) + Mid1(17%) + Mid2(17%) + Mid3(17%) + Fin(25%).

There will be no extra credit assignments.

Getting Help: Don't wait until it is too late if you need help. Ask questions! You can get help from your instructor or recitation TA in class or during their office hours. To find the office hours for your section follow the `Contact Info' link in the left panel. You may also seek assistance at the Calculus 2 Help Lab. To find the times and locations for the Help Lab follow the `Help Lab' link in the left panel.
