Math 112-009
Fall 2000 Calculus
I
Office Location and Hours: 308 TMCB. MWF 1--2pm, and by appointment. (On most days when I am not attending seminar or committee meeting, you should be able to find me in my office during the hours of 10--12am or 4--6pm.) Textbook: Salas and Hille's Calculus, 8th edition, revised by G.J. Etgen, John Wiley, NY, 1999. Pre-requisite and Placement Test: Pre-requisite: Math 110 and 111 or equivalent. Students are requested to take the placement test given in the testing center during the first week of class. For a sample placement test, please visit http://www.math.byu.edu/Courses/Placement. More information can be found at http://www.math.byu.edu/~jarvis/placement-test.html. Syllabus: From Catalog: Differential and integral calculus: limits; continuity; the derivative and applications; extrema; the definite integral; fundamental theorem of calculus; L'Hopital's rule. Essentially we will be covering materials from chapters 1-5,7 and section 6.1 in the textbook. Some related topics and mathematical software tools will also be discussed. Homework Homework will be assigned daily. Late homework will be accepted subject to reduced credit. Test: Four tests are currently scheduled. These tests will be given at the testing center. Each test has a three hour limit. Personal calculators, computers, books or notes are not permitted. Made up tests may not be arranged except in case of emergency or absence due to official university business. If you want to attend special events, e.g., your sister's wedding or your nephew's baptism, you may arrange to take the test up to a week prior to, but not after, the set test date. Final: The common final is scheduled on Saturday, Dec 9, 1999 at 6:30-9:30pm
(to be finalized.) Please note that this is a BYU designated reading
day and NOT during the regular examination period. The rather strict departmental
policy is that no one may take the final at another
time unless he/she has an official university excused absence or
in case of emergency (with documented support.) In the past, a number of
students did not take this policy seriously and consequently had failed
the course. The final will be comprehensive and will be written by a mathematics
department committee.
Course Grade: Course grade will be calculated from the following distribution:
Preventing Sexual Harassment Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination against any participant in an education program or activity that receives federal funds. The act is intended to eliminate sex discrimination in education. Title IX covers discrimination in programs, admissions, activities, and student-to-student sexual harassment. BYU's policy against sexual harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to students. If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or gender based discrimination, please talk to your professor; contact the campus EEO office (422-5895); or contact the Honor Code Office (422-2847). Dress and Grooming Standards The dress and grooming of both men and women should always be modest, neat, and clean, consistent with the dignity adherent to representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and any of its institutions of higher learning. Modesty and cleanliness are important values that reflect personal dignity and integrity, through which students, staff, and faculty of BYU represent the principles and standards of the Church. Students with Disabilities If you have any disability that may impair your ability to complete
this course successfully, please let the instructor know during the first
week of class. Accommodations are coordinated through the instructor in
consultation with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Office
and may require medical and/or psychological documentation. The SSD Office
is located in 160 SWKT, 422-2767.
