COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course provides an introduction to differential and integral calculus. Topics include limits, derivatives, related rates, Newton’s method, the Mean-Value Theorem, Max-Min problems, the integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus, areas, volumes, and average values.

TEXTBOOK: Calculus by James Stewart, Brooks/Cole, Fifth edition, 2003.

PREREQUISITES: A score of 26 or higher on the ACT Math sub-test and 7 or higher on the UMSL Trigonometry Placement Test, or a score of 26 or higher on the MMPT (Missouri Math Placement Test) and 7 or higher on the UMSL Trigonometry Placement Test, or a grade of C- or higher in Math 1030 (College Algebra) and Math 1035 (Trigonometry). If a record of the prerequisites is not in the UMSL computer system, you will be asked to provide verification by the end of the first week of the course.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT:

All correspondence will be made through your UMSL email account. You need to check this email often.

HOMEWORK: Doing the homework problems assigned is an essential element of success in this course. There are a lot of skills to be mastered this semester – the best way to grasp this material is to do LOTS of problems. Spending 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class is expected. Homework is collected at the start of the class period randomly and counts as a quiz grade. You need to bring all the homework for the given test period on the day of test. You lose 10 points on that test grade otherwise. The section and the problems should be clearly labeled.

QUIZZES: You will have frequent quizzes on the topics of the previous 2 or3 days' classes; some will be given in class and others will be take-home and due at the beginning of class on the indicated date. Each quiz will be worth 20 points. No make up is given for the quizzes and your lowest grade will be dropped.

TESTS: Four (4) exams, worth 100 points each, will be given during class on the dates specified on the calendar. No exam will be dropped. A make-up test will be given only in the case of a verifiable emergency and only if you contact me prior to the test. Written verification may be asked for. Any make-up test will be more difficult than the test given in class.

FINAL EXAM: The mandatory Final Exam will be given on Friday, May 6, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. The final will be comprehensive and worth 200 points.

Your course grade can’t be more than a letter grade higher than your final exam grade.

Point Summary: Quizzes 100 points*

4 tests 400 points

Final Exam 200 points

TOTAL 700 points

*Quiz grade: 100 X Sum of quiz points earned

Sum of quiz points possible

Remember that not doing homework will cost you 10 points per test period

MASTERY TEST: A mastery exam will be given before the second test. This test consists of very basic differentiation problems. Of the 8 problems on the exam, you must do 7 correctly. The exam can be re-taken until “mastery” is achieved. Success on this test indicates a certain minimal skill level. You cannot achieve a grade of C or better in Math 1800 unless you pass the mastery exam by April 22 (regardless of your performance otherwise.)

MATH LAB: The Math Lab in 425 SSB offers free tutoring during the day, evening, and weekends. Visit (http://www.cs.umsl.edu/lab/mathlab.html) or call 516-5190 for more details.

MYGATEWAY (https://mygateway.umsl.edu/webapps/login):

You need to check Math 1800 common site daily. Solutions to homework and problems sessions, review for the tests, a copy of the syllabus, are among the material that will be posted on this site. A message will be posted in the announcements as soon as any new material is posted on MYGATEWAY. The closest computer lab is located in 103 SSB. To assure that you have the correct copies, please print or view your assignments from the machines on campus. You should save the document to the computer before printing.

Calculators may be helpful when working homework problems, but they will not be allowed when taking quizzes or exams.
