Summer 2013

Professor: Joan Sholars Office: 61-1626 Office Hours: 3:00 4:00 M Th Email: jsholars@mtsac.edu jsholars@earthlink.net Website: www.joansholars.com Text: Thomas Calculus Early Transcendentals, 12th edition Student Solutions Manual Optional Calculator: Highly Recommend TI-84 or TI-NSpire Attendance: Regular attendance is mandatory. If you are absent in the first week, you will be dropped and someone on the wait list or add list will be added. If you are absent more than three times, you could be dropped but it your responsibility as a student to drop the class should you stop attending class. Homework: Homework is assigned daily but homework from the text will only be collected on exam days and then checked only to see that you have done at least one problem from each section Other homework problems will be assigned and are due as stated on the problem. The lowest homework grade will be dropped. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given as scheduled on the timetable. No make-ups will be given. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Exams: Exams will be given as scheduled on the timetable. No make-ups will be given. If the final exam percentage is higher than your lowest exam percentage, it can replace the lowest exam percentage. Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative and will be given on the last day of class. If the final exam percentage is higher than your lowest exam percentage, it can replace the lowest exam percentage. Failure to take the final will results in an F in the course. Labs: We will do at least two labs using Maple. Cell Phones: No cell phones in class. If you are using your cell phone during class, I will ask you to leave class. Cell phones must be turned off during exams and quizzes. If you cell phone is on your desk during quizzes or exams, it will be considered cheating.

Grading: 3 exams @ 15% each 45% Final Exam 25% Quizzes 15% Homework 12% Labs 3% 90% and above A 80 89% B 70 79% C 60 69% D Below 60% F Acts of cheating and plagiarism are considered serious violations of the Mt. San Antonio College Student Discipline Policy, AR & P Section 609. All incidents of cheating and plagiarism will be reported to the Student Life Center. Cheating or plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting the work of someone else as your own or assisting another student by providing them with answers to exams or written work that is not their own. This includes copying from another, use of stolen exams, instructors notes or test key, and failure to use quotation marks and citing the source when using the written work of another, including internet sources. If a student is caught cheating on an exam, that student will receive a 0 for that exam, your final exam grade cannot be used to replace this zero, and cheating could result in disciplinary action such as suspension or expulsion. If a student is caught cheating on a quiz, the student will receive a zero for that quiz and this grade of zero cannot be replaced. Students are encouraged to review both the Academic Honesty Policy and the Student Discipline Policy which are printed in the College catalog for further clarification. CHEATING IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE AND WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH.

Students will: 1. Represent functions verbally, algebraically, numerically, and graphically.

Construct mathematical models of physical phenomena. Graph functions with transformations on known graphs. Use logarithmic and exponential functions in applications. Solve calculus problems using a computer algebra system.

2. Prove limits using properties of limits and solve problems involving the formal definition of the limits. Solve problems involving continuity of functions. Evaluate limits at infinity and represent these graphically. Use limits to find slopes of tangent lines, velocities, other rates of change and derivatives.

3. Compute first and higher order derivatives of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, hyperbolic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions. Evaluate derivatives using the product, quotient, and chain rules and implicit differentiation.

4. Use derivatives to compute rates of change in applications. Apply derivatives to related rates problems, linear approximations and differentials, increasing and de3creasing functions, maximum and minimum values, inflections and concavity, graphing, optimization problems, and Newtons Method. Apply the Mean Value Theorem in example problems. Use LHospitals Rule to evaluate limits of indeterminate forms. Use a Computer Algebra System in applications of calculus.

5. Use anti-derivatives to evaluate indefinite integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals. Evaluate integrals using the substitution rule and integration by parts.

The Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for this course can be found at the Mathematics and Computer Science webpage at http://math.mtsac.edu/slo_math.html#math180 SLOs are used to assess the course--how well or if students are learning a particular topic. Measurable objectives are instructional expectations for a given course that establish curricular elements and standards.

How to Study

1. Be on time to class. Avoid absences. 2. Do homework as soon as possible after class. You should be spending about 3

4 hours outside of class on homework and projects. 3. Mark any homework questions so that you can find them quickly. I will ask for

homework questions at the beginning of each class. 4. You should read the sections that will be covered in class before class and then re-

read them after class. 5. You should review every day for about 15 30 minutes for an upcoming exam

for at least a week prior to the exam. Cramming does not allow for understanding of the material covered in class.

6. Right before the exam, look at any formulas or definitions that you need. As soon as you get the exam and scratch paper, do a memory dump (do this before you even look at the problems on the exam).

7. After your memory dump, read over the exam. Do the problems that you know how to do build up your confidence. Then go back and do the problems that you think will give you a little more trouble. Do not leave a problem blank if you are running out of time, at least write down what you would do if you had more time.

8. If you can do algebra, the calculus material that you will learn in later classes will be easier. The largest hurdle for most students is the algebra. Practice, practice, practice! Remember: mathematics is not a spectator sport. You must participate.

9. Use flash cards to assist in your learning the material. 10. Understand your learning style. Do you learn by listening, by writing down the

concepts, or how. This will help you in later classes, as well as this class. 11. Never say never! Always believe that you can do ityou must believe in

yourself!
