Credit: (4-2)5

Catalog description: Sequences, infinite series, power series, Taylor series. Vectors, lines and planes in space. Functions of several variables: Limits, continuity, partial derivatives, the chain rule, directional derivatives, tangent plane approximation, differentials, extreme values, and Lagrange multipliers. Double integrals with applications. The line integral.

Justification for the Course Proposal: This is a fundamental course designed for all science and engineering students.

Course Objectives: The sequence Math 119-120 is the standard complete introduction to the concepts and methods of calculus, taken by all engineering students. The emphasis is on concepts, solving problems, theory and proofs. All sections take uniform midterm and final exams. Students develop their reading, writing and questioning skills in mathematics.

Course Coordinator: Erhan Gürel     (office: SZ-32, phone: x2942, email: egurel_at_metu.edu.tr)

Exams and Grading: Course grades are determined by (online) homework, recitation quizzes, two (non-cumulative) midterm exams, and a cumulative final exam, as well as a small number of bonus points awarded on the basis of attendance, class participation, and/or project completion.

• Exam 1: 25 %
• Exam 2: 25 %
• Final: 30 %
• Recitation Quizzes: 5 %
• Homework: 15 % (WeBWork)
• Bonus: 5 % (policy varies between sections)

Homework: Course homework will be assigned and graded weekly using the online WeBWork system.

Suggested Problems: Due to the limitations of WeBWork, complete mastery of subject material will require solving additional theoretical problems. For each lecture, the assistants will announce additional suggested problems from the textbook. Their list of problems is available on the course website. It is important for students to solve these problems regularly; however the solutions will not be collected or graded.

Textbook: Calculus, James Stewart, 6^th international metric ed., 2009 (available at the bookstore)

• Howard Anton, Calculus with Analytic Geometry 5^th ed.

Make-up Policy: In order to be eligible to enter the make-up examination for a missed examination, a student should have a documented or verifiable, and officially acceptable excuse. A student cannot get make-up examinations for two missed exams. The make-up examination for all exams will be after the final exam, and will include all topics.

Math Help Room: The mathematics help room in T-103 is a room staffed by mathematics faculty and teaching assistants where students may gather to ask questions, work on homework, and view exams. This semester, we are experimenting with the help room as a replacement for formal office hours; however students are still invited to seek out instructors in their offices if they wish.
