Course syllabus (pdf)

Frequency: Fall/Spring Terms

Credit: (4-2)5

Catalog description: Functions, limits, continuity and derivatives. Applications: extreme values, the Mean Value Theorem and its applications, graphing. The definite integral. Area and volume as integrals. The indefinite integral. Transcendental functions and their derivatives. L'Hospital's Rule. Techniques of integration. Improper integrals.

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: Benjamin Walter

Exams and Grading: Course grades are determined by (online) homework, short exams (given in recitations), one midterm exam, and a cumulative final exam.

  • Homework: 6 % (WeBWork)
  • Short Exams: 4x 6 %
  • Midterm Exam: 30 %
  • Final Exam: 40 %
  • Bonus: 2 %

Homework: Homeworks are assigned and graded using the online WeBWork system.

Short Exams: Short exams will be given every week in recitation hours. Problems in short exams will be chosen from webwork and suggested problems.

Bonus: Bonus will be determined by performance on two pop quizzes which will be given randomly during the course. There is no make-up for these quizzes; missing them results in immediate forfeit of bonus points.

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.

Make-up Policy: In order to be eligible to enter the make-up examination for a missed examination, a student must have a documented or verifiable and officially acceptable excuse. It is not possible to make up multiple 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. Students are also invited to seek out instructors in their offices.
