Math Office: Vincent Hall 115, (612) 625-4848

Prerequisites QP-=1211, =1251, =1351, =1551; 3 1/2 yrs high school math or grade of at least C- in 1031; SP-=1271, =1281, =1371, =1571; 3 1/2 yrs high school math or grade of at least C- in [1031 or 1051]. Credit will not be granted if credit has been received for the course listed after the " = " symbol.

Overview 4 credits. Derivatives, integrals, differential equations, partial derivatives, maxima/minima of functions of several variables covered with less depth than full calculus. No trigonometry included. We will cover Chapters 1 - 5, except for sections 1.6, 3.3, 3.6, 4.6, 5.4. We will also cover sections 6.3 - 6.5 and sections 7.1 - 7.4.

Grading and Exams Your grade will be determined by grade lines applied to your course point total. These are earned as follows. Final exam: 120 points. Three mid-terms: 60 points each. Approximately 12 quizzes or homeworks, or combined homeworks and quizzes: 60 points. The letter-grade lines for the final exam will be determined by the course instructors. Course grades will be allotted in proportion to the final exam letter-grades.

Absence from exams There is a math department-scheduled time for final exam make-ups. You must take two mid-terms to pass. You can have a make-up on a mid-term or a quiz under the following conditions: (a) absence due to officially sanctioned school activities or religious holidays with prior notice. (b) Other reasons, at lecturer's discretion for mid-terms, and at the TA's discretion for quizzes. Here, prior notice will help your case. Unexcused absences from tests are scored as zeros.

Homework You should expect to work about two hours outside class for each hour you spend in class. The lecturer will assign homework problems and post them on the course web page. The quizzes will be based in part on the previous week's homework.

Calculators Scientific calculators are permitted on tests, but graphing calculators are not permitted on tests.

Disabilities Please inform the lecturer as soon as possible about any necessary accommodations.

Other help (Details forthcoming.) There are tutoring services in Lind Hall and dorm tutors. A list of private tutors is available in Vincent 115. The course TAs are not available privately.

Messages: E-mail usually works. All of the instructors have boxes in the mail room in Vincent Hall 107. If for some reason you need to leave an urgent message, you can do so at the School of Mathematics, 625-4848.
