Math 76, Mathematical Analysis II.   Fall 2004.

Hours: 4.

Prerequisite: Math 75.

Textbook: Calculus, James Stewart, 5th edition.

Content: Transcendental functions, techniques of integration, improper integrals, conic sections, polar coordinates, infinite series.

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 three hour tests and one final comprehensive exam. 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. Quizzes count toward your course grade. Quizzes will not be announced in advance, and no make ups will be given after the class. If for any reason you must miss a class, let me know in advance.

Mathematica: We will go to a computer lab (in EE 182) twice this semester. We will use the computer software Mathematica to graph functions, evaluate limits, and differentiate functions. See Mathematica handout. You are encouraged to work in pairs or small groups while in the lab, so sit next to your friends. You will get points for your work done in the lab, and you also will be given a project after the second lab.

Homework comes in two 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 approximately one third of the total grade.

The other form of homework consists of recommended problems that are listed on the schedule. These problems do not contribute directly to your total grade, but similar problems will appear on quizzes and exams. It is important to do both the WeBWorK and recommended problems.

Final exam is comprehensive. 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 just memorize how to do the problems on the midterms. Rather learn how to solve those types 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.
• Get help in the Mathematics Lab (EE 167).
• Use the Learning Assistance Center.
• Work with your classmates.

Students with disabilities: upon identifying themselves to the University, students with disabilities will receive necessary accommodation for learning and evaluation. For more information, see http://studentaffairs.csufresno.edu/ssd

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.
