Additional Resources: A graphing calculator of some sort may be helpful. I recommend a TI calculator because that is what I will be using in class. However, students possessing calculators such as the TI-89 or TI-92 that have symbolic calculus capabilities will have restricted use of such calculators on homework and exams. Course Description: Differential and integral calculus of elementary functions, including exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Applications. Note: credit will not be given for both MATH 10283 and MATH 10524. Purpose of Course: This course currently meets all or part of the following requirements for a degree:  UCR math requirement  Requirement within the Mathematics B.A. and B.S majors  Requirement or elective for other majors Prerequisites: MATH 10054 with a grade of C or better, or AP Calculus AB or BC score of 3 or better, or SAT Subject Test (SAT II), Mathematics Level 1 (1C) with a score of 560 or better, or SAT Subject Test (SATII), Mathematics Level 2 (IIC) with a score of 520 or better, or a passing grade on the Calculus Placement Test.

Course Objectives: By the end of this course, students will: • understand the idea of a mathematical limit and be able to compute limits algebraically and graphically; • know the definition of the derivative, be able to compute derivatives from the definition, and understand the derivative geometrically; • be able to use the sum, difference, product, quotient, and chain rules to compute derivatives; • use the derivative in applications, such as related rates problems and optimization problems; • know the definition of the definite integral, be able to compute definite integrals from the definition, and understand the definite integral geometrically; • be able to compute indefinite integrals and understand their relation to definite integrals; • know the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and be able to use it to compute definite integrals. Teaching Philosophy: Mathematics is not a spectator sport. To understand calculus, or any area of mathematics, you have to be actively involved in thinking about the subject and diligently doing the homework problems that I assign. While I do not forbid you from working with other students, I highly recommend that you do the homework assignments on your own because you will be on your own at exam time. In any case, I expect that the work you turn in is yours and is not simply copied from another student. I am around most of the time, so feel free to stop by or email me if you have questions about the assignments. Instructional Methods: Like most math classes, this course will consist of daily lectures. I welcome questions from the audience, and if at any point you do not understand what I am talking about, let me know and I will try to get you back on track. On the other hand, if you wait until ten minutes before an exam to seek my help, it is unlikely that I will be able to do you much good. Course Policies: Attendance Policy – I do not require attendance in my classes. However, you will do much better in the course if you regularly attend the lectures. If you choose to miss class, even in the case of a TCU-excused absence, you are responsible for getting the notes from another classmate and learning the material covered on the day(s) that you miss. I will only accept late homework in the case of missing class because of a university-excused absence. If you have a universityexcused absence that happens to fall on an exam date, you must notify me in advance. In the case of illness on an exam date, contact me as soon as you know that you will be unable to take the exam.

Netiquette: Communication Courtesy Code: All members of the class are expected to follow rules of common courtesy in all email messages, threaded discussions and chats. If I deem any of them to be inappropriate or offensive, I will forward the message to the Chair of the department and the online administrators and appropriate action will be taken, not excluding expulsion from the course.

The TCU Math Clinic is also available free of charge for drop-in tutoring; I will tell you the hours of operation of the clinic when I know them. Email Notification: Only the official TCU student email address will be used for all course notification. It is your responsibility to check your TCU email on a regular basis.

Course Format
Your grade will be determined by your performance on three exams during the semester, homework assignments, quizzes, and a cumulative final exam. Homework: On most days when we do not have an exam, I will assign homework. I will post the assignments on eCollege, so you should check that regularly. Note the due date for each assignment, because I will only accept late homework in cases of a university-excused absence. I strongly recommend that you work on your own on each assignment, because this is the situation you will be in during exams! Quizzes: I will give quizzes during some classes. These will not be announced ahead of time, so you should be sure to attend class regularly and keep up with the material! I will only allow you to make up a quiz if you have a universityexcused absence. Grades: Your final grade will be determined according to the following percentages: Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Homework Quizzes Final Exam September 10 October 5 November 2 December 11, 11:30 am – 2:00 pm 15% 15% 15% 10% 10% 35%
