Hours: 4.

Prerequisites: Passing score on the Calculus Placement Examination or Math 105. Must meet ELM requirement.

Textbook: Calculus Early Transcendentals, James Stewart, 5th edition.

Topics Include: elementary and transcendental functions, their properties, limits, derivatives, integrals and mathematical modeling. This course is a required course for Mathematics majors. The course is not designed to satisfy the University Writing or Language requirements.

Course Objectives

• Understand the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus
• Appreciate the connections between calculus and its areas of application
• Enhance problem-attacking and problem-solving skills
• Use appropriate technology to understand calculus concepts and solve mathematical problems
• Develop the ability to communicate mathematical ideas through reading, writing, and speaking
• Learn and help others learn through collaboration

Learning outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Design mathematical models and work with functions
• Compute limits, derivatives and antiderivatives and apply them in context
• Analyze graphs of functions and use them to solve problems
• Use modern software to solve problems
• Compute maxima and minima, and apply other optimization techniques
• Explain, using proper terminology, ideas of calculus and solve computational problems
• Express ideas of Calculus in oral and written form

Grading policy: Your grade for the course will be based on your performance on exams, quizzes, and homework (more information on these below). The number of points awarded for these is as follows.

Exams: There will be two tests and one final comprehensive exam. No calculators, books, or notes will be allowed on the exams. See schedule for exam dates. If for any reason you can not take an exam at the scheduled time, let me know as early as possible, definitely before the exam. Practice exams and solutions to past exams will be posted on the schedule page.

Class attendance is strongly encouraged. In addition to new material, important course information will be given in class, sometimes review sheets and practice exams will be handed out, and sometimes quizzes will be given. You may use your hand-written notes, but not calculators, books, or any printed or photocopied materials. Quizzes count toward your course grade. Quiz problems will be chosen from the list of recommended problems (see schedule). Quizzes will not be announced in advance, and no make ups will be given after the class unless you were sick or had a family emergency. If for any reason you must miss a class, let me know in advance or bring a note from your doctor. Each quiz is worth 4 points. You will receive 1 point just for coming to class, and up to 3 points for your work.

Homework comes in four forms. One form consists of WeBWorK problems. WeBWorK problems are done over the web and provide instant feedback as to whether you have done a problem correctly or not. When you have done a WeBWorK problem correctly, that fact is immediately recorded. WeBWorK problems are individualized for each student. So students may work together on the general method for solving problems; however, you are expected to do your own assignment. WeBWorK problems count for 75 points (each problem is worth 1 point). (Click here to get to the WeBWorK login page. Your login name is your last name (lower case), and your initial password is your CSUCI student ID number (without zeros in the beginning). If you experience any problems with the system, please let me know.)

Occasionally you will be assigned problems from the book. These have to be submitted in class. These problems will count for 5 points total.

The third form of homework consists of recommended problems that are listed in the schedule. These problems do not contribute directly to your grade, but some of these problems will appear on quizzes, and similar problems may appear on exams. It is important to do both the WeBWorK and recommended problems for each topic.

The fourth form of homework is labs.

Final exam is comprehensive. In addition to doing the last (review) WeBWorK set and the paper practice final (which will be posted on the schedule page), a good way to study for the final is to redo the tests. You should be able to do all the problems (and all similar problems) on the tests. Don't memorize how to do the problems on the tests. Rather learn how to solve those type of problems. Next, make sure you can do all the problems on all the WeBWorK assignments. After that, you should review your notes and recommended homework problems.

All WeBWorK assignments (even the ones which are now closed) are available for practice and review. You can still do the problems and WeBWorK will tell you whether or not your answers are correct.

Extra Help: It is essential not to fall behind, because each lecture is based on previous work.  If you have trouble with some material, seek help in the following ways:

• Ask me, either in class or privately. My contact info is given on the course web page.
• Work with your classmates.
• Get help at the Math & Writing Center.

CSUCI Mathematics and Writing Center: Make an appointment or drop in for free tutoring, or meet your study group there! 
http://www.csuci.edu/academics/advising/tutoring.htm
Hours:  9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mon. – Thurs., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays.  (Opens Sept. 5.)
Location: BT 1512
Appointments: schedule at front desk or by calling 437-8409.

Password problems:
For the first few weeks of class, students may log on to the HP Tablets by using the userid and password tc1972.
To get your CSUCI passwords reset, go to the IT Help Desk in Ojai Hall with a picture ID, or call the Help Desk at 437-8552.

Using Maple on campus:
(for lab hours: http://www.csuci.edu/it/labs.htm)

• Mathematics and Writing Center (9 am - 7 pm M-TH, 9 am - 2 pm Fri.)
• MAC lab (Ojai 1964, also known as TC 1964)
• other campus computer labs???  (We’re waiting to receive this info.)
• Check out an HP Tablet (this option only applies to students enrolled in Calculus I).

Students with disabilities: students who have disabilities or special needs and require accommodations in order to have equal access to classrooms must register with the designated staff member in Student Affairs in order for us to better accommodate special needs. Students will be required to provide documentation of a disability when accommodations are requested.

Academic honesty: cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in this class. For information on the University's policy, see the University Catalog (section Policies and Regulations).

Disruptive Classroom Behavior: student conduct which disrupts the learning process will not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class.

Subject to Change: the schedule is tentative and approximate, and is subject to change. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check on announcements made while you were absent.
