This is an introduction to elementary calculus with examples chosen from diverse fields. We shall cover most of Chapters 1 through 5 of the text.

Course Expectation & Conduct: The purpose of our class meetings is to help you to obtain the core material that will allow you to learn through your own work outside the classroom. Therefore, an essential part of your {positive} learning process is to look for additional information from the library and other sources (namely, my office hours and Math Lab Help Sessions).

All rules including student class conduct, cheating, attendance, etc. will be handled as required by the student code of conduct currently in effect. Should you miss a quiz or test due to illness or an emergency, you will be required to give advance notice or provide a doctor's excuse in order to be allowed to make-up on the tests and quizzes. Students who require special accommodation must have a formal letter from Specialized Student Services and must also formally notify me of this need early in the term.

Students with Special Needs: Students with documented learning disabilities are entitled by law to certain “reasonable accommodations.” If you have a documented reason for special accommodations, you must provide written evidence of this as soon as possible from the appropriate office. No accommodations can or will be given without the documentation. Each time special accommodations are requested, the request must be submitted, in writing, at least one week before the event.

Homework: Homework problems will be assigned regularly. Occasionally, you will be required to hand in your homework assignments for grading.

Quizzes: Quizzes (about 20 minutes of class time) will be given at the end of every book chapter (unless otherwise announced).
