Course Objectives At the end of this course,
the successful student will:
·
understand
and be able to apply the concepts of calculus outlined above
·
understand
and be able to apply numerical computational and estimation techniques
·
understand
and be able to apply the process of measurement
·
be
able to use geometric concepts and relationships to describe and model
mathematical ideas
·
be
able to formulate and solve problems from both mathematical and everyday
situations, and in the process connect mathematics to other disciplines
·
be
able to communicate mathematical ideas in writing, using everyday and
mathematical language, including symbols
Homework Homework assignments
account for 40% of your grade, as follows:
·
20%
written exercises from the “Literacy Sheets” at the back of the book. These
problems will be worked and turned in individually. Specific problems will be
assigned roughly once a week and are due about a week later.
·
20%
computer assignments done using Mathematica from the "Give it a Try"
sections of the Text. These assignments
will be done in the teams described below.
Teamwork For computer assignments,
the class will be divided into two- (or three-) person teams. Generally each
team member gets the same homework grade but it is possible that a team member
that does not contribute their fair share of the work may get a lower grade.
Style Turn in your assignment through
email or using the USCA LAN, as explained by the instructor. The format for
your work is the Mathematica Notebook in a style similar to the Textbook. Each notebook should begin with the names of
the team members. Group problems into
individual cells and do not include Mathematica output, which I can
easily produce. That is, keep your
notebooks as compact as possible.
Help You may seek help from
other students but you must acknowledge this help in a credit box. No homework will be read without a completed
credit box. And if you help someone,
point them in the right direction but don't do their work for them.
Tests You must demonstrate
literate knowledge of the basic concepts of the calculus covered in this
course. These tests will be "paper and pencil" tests, no computer
help will be possible. There will be
four literacy tests given throughout the Semester. Each test has questions based upon the
conceptual questions on the literacy sheets in your text and based upon the
material in the basics and tutorial sections.
Each test counts for 10% of your grade for a total of 40% of your grade.
The literacy tests will be given roughly after every other chapter, and will be
approximately 50 minutes in length. IMPORTANT! Make up exams will only be given in cases of
illness or other written excuse. If you must miss a scheduled exam, contact me
as soon as possible after the exam to arrange a make up. Exams not made up within one
week of the regular test will be recorded as 0’s.
Final Exam A final examination for 20%
of the total grade. The final exam will
be comprehensive, about one-fourth on material since exam four, and
three-fourths old material. There are no exemptions from the Final Exam. Your
grade on the Final Exam will replace your lowest test score (if it helps your
grade). You must take all 4 semester exams to qualify. Note: A low score on the
Final can hurt your grade! The
Final Exam is scheduled for Wednesday, May 3 at 5:00 p.m.

Academic Integrity: Please read and review the Academic Code of Conduct
relating to Academic Integrity located in the 2005-06 Student Handbook, page
18. If you are found to be in violation
of this Code of Integrity, a grade of F (0) may be given for the work.
Additionally, a grade of F may be assigned for the course and/or further
sanctions may be pursued.
Attendance Policy: I may occasionally take
attendance. It is highly recommended that the student not miss any class.
However, the Attendance Policy established by the Department of Mathematical
Sciences states that the maximum number of unexcused absences allowed in this class
before a penalty is imposed is four.
Please refer to the 2005-2006 Bulletin, page 36, for further
information.
Cell Phones/Pagers:
As a courtesy to the class, cell phones and pagers
should be placed in such a mode that they will not disturb the class. Under no
circumstances are calls to be placed or taken in the classroom. Students who are on call as a condition of
their employment or other circumstance will leave the classroom to receive a
call.
Students with Disabilities: If you have a
physical, psychological, and/or learning disability which might affect your
performance in this class, please contact the Office of Disability Services,
126A B&E, (803) 641-3609, as soon as possible. The Disability Services Office will determine
appropriate accommodations based on medical documentation. If you are registered with Disability
Services and have an accommodation sheet, please see me after the first class
or phone me (803-641-3525) the first day to set up an appointment as soon as
possible
