Syllabus and Homework

This section contains weekly syllabus and homework exercises. I strongly suggest you to do all of them carefully. However, they will not be handed-in or graded. Instead, each Friday when there is no exam, there will be a 15 minutes quiz on these homework exercises: the quiz questions will be taken directly from the assigned exercises of the sections covered since the last quiz/exam. The purpose of the quizzes is to determine whether you understood and can do the assigned homework. Only the best 5 quizzes will be taken into account, the other will be dropped and no make-up or early quizzes will be given (except a university-excused absense).

Final exam schedule  


1. Course Description, Objectives, Learning Outcome Goals
This is the first course in the Calculus sequence. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to solve problems in the following areas and achieve the quantitative skills required for courses requiring Calculus 1:
  • Limits
  • Continuity
  • Differentiation
  • Curve sketching
  • Transcendental and inverse functions
  • The Mean Value Theorem
  • L’Hospital’s Rule
  • Related rates and related rates problems
  • Optimization problems
  • Introduction to integration, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • The application of mathematical modeling to other disciplines and real-world problems using a variety of functions
    2. Course Prerequisites
  • MAC 1140 and MAC 1114 (Minimum grade of C for each),
  • or
  • MAC1147 (Minimum grade of C),
  • or
  • ALEKS with total score not less than 65,
  • and
  • A full working knowledge of Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, and Geometry is essential to succeed in calculus,
  • and
  • Each student should make sure to understand the materials in Chapter 1 to assess his/her level of preparation. After the first 1-2 weeks, it will be assumed that you have a full working knowledge of this material, including exponentials, logarithms, trig functions, inverse functions, shifting rules for graphs, etc. If you do not, then you should consider taking another precalculus course before studying Calculus.

  • 3. Course Grade: the components of the course grade are as follows
     
    Evaluation Date Percentage Comments
    Quizzes Fridays 20% 10-15 mins, 1-3 questions from homework.
    Exam 1 Feb 8th 20% 1 hour
    Exam 2 TBD 20%
    Exam 3 TBD 20%
    Final Exam TBD 20%

    Midterms and quizzes to take place in class. The grading scale will be The grade of I (incomplete) will only be given for reasons specified on page 67 of the FAU Undergraduate Catalog.

    If the lowest exam grade is one of the midterms, the final exam score will replace the lowest midterm score. In this case, the final exam will be worth 40% of the final score.
    4. Policies on Missed Exams and Quizzes:
    A missed midterm or final exam may be made up; however, it is the student’s responsibility to establish with documentation that the exam was missed for a solid reason. The student cannot make up a missed midterm or final exam without such documentation. A missed quiz will result in a score of 0, with no possible make-up. The only exception is any quiz missed due to a university-excused absence; such quizzes may be made up.
    No calculator, books, notes will be allowed at any time during quizzes and/or exams.
    5. Attendance and Classroom Etiquette:
    Regular attendance at the lectures and the labs is expected. It is the student’s responsibility to know what is going on in class. To minimize disruption to the learning environment, you are requested to arrive on time and not leave until the end of class. If you do arrive to class late, please come in as quietly as possible. If you know you must leave early to keep an appointment, please let me know at the start of class. Also, you are requested to refrain from looking at cellphones and computers during lecture.

    6. Academic Honesty:
    Students at Florida Atlantic University are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the university mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys an unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the university community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty. For more information, see University Regulation 4.001 at http://www.fau.edu/regulations/chapter4/4.001_Code_of_Academic_Integrity.pdf.
    7. Students with Disabilities:
    In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), students who require special accommodation due to a disability to properly execute coursework must register with the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) -- in Boca Raton, SU 133 (561-297-3880) and follow all OSD procedures.
