Textbook à
Calculus by J. Stewart, 5th edition
(2003); ISBN 0-534-27408-0.
This course provides an
introduction to differential and integral calculus. Topics include limits,
derivatives and integrals with their applications (Chapters 1 – 6 from the
textbook; some sections will be skipped).
The course is NOT based on
using calculators. They may be helpful when solving homework problems, but will
NOT be ALLOWED when taking quizzes or exams.
Prerequisites
à you
should have one ‘algebra’ AND one ‘trigonometry’
prerequisite
from the table below (NOT
all of them):
Algebra |
Trigonometry |
|
Either
a
score of 26 or higher on the ACT Math sub-test; ------------------------------------------------- or a score of 26 or
higher on the MMPT (Missouri Math Placement Test); -------------------------------------------------- or a grade of
C- or higher in Math
1030 (College Algebra). |
Either a score of 7 or
higher on the UMSL Trigonometry Placement Test; ------------------------------------------------------ or a grade of
C- or higher in Math
1035 (Trigonometry). |
If a record of your
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.
Class
meets à 5 days a week: Monday through
Friday at 9:30 – 10:20 pm
in 205
Homework:
The
homework will not be graded; however, it is expected that you will have done the
assignment and any assigned readings when you come to class. The list of
homework problems is a suggested minimum. You are expected to spend 2 – 3 hours outside a class for every hour
spent in the class. Please, evaluate
your academic workload now. This is the first in a sequence of courses and the
work habits you develop this semester will be crucial. I recommend that you form
study groups to help each other with difficult concepts.
Quizzes:
There
will be 10 class quizzes and 4 home-taken quizzes (10 points each). Also, there
will be a Review Quiz on the last day of classes (worth 20 points). Class
quizzes are closed-textbook/notes;
calculators are not allowed; they
will cover the same material as homework problems. Answers with no work will not
be given any points; only fully worked out solutions will be given partial/full
credit. There will be NO make-up for quizzes.
Tests: There will be 4 tests and
the mandatory comprehensive Final Exam. Dates of the
exams are shown in the schedule. All
exams will be closed books/notes, and calculators will not be
allowed.
There will be NO tests dropped. Failure to appear for an
exam will result in a grade 0 for that exam unless prior arrangements have been
made. You will be allowed to take an exam at a different time (at the
The final exam will be given on Wednesday, May 10, 12:15 – 3:15 pm (room to be announced).
Mastery Test: A mastery exam will be given before the second test (see the schedule). This exam will consist of very basic but essential differentiation problems. Of the 8 problems on the exam, you MUST do 7 ABSOLUTELY correctly. The exam can be retaken until “mastery” (the minimum skill level in differentiation) is achieved. You cannot get a grade of C- or better in Math 1800 unless you pass the mastery test by April 7 (regardless of your performance otherwise). The Mastery Test is NOT included into the grading scheme.
Grading scheme:
Quizzes
à
160 points;
Four exams

540 points;
Final Exam
à
300 points.
Letter grades in the end of
the semester will be assigned according to the following
scale:
|
Score |
<600 |
600-699 |
700-799 |
800-
899 |
>=900 |
Grade |
F |
D |
C
range |
B
range |
A
range |
The ranges include C-, C, C+, B-, B, B+, A-,A.
Grading in this course is not “on a curve”, so it is theoretically possible for every student in this course to receive an “A”, or everyone could receive an “F”.
MyGateway à The MyGateway site will be used
for posting grades, messages, keys, handouts etc (under ‘Course Documents’). Instructions to go
to the iLrn website for online homework will be on MyGateway. Be sure to check
this source as needed.
Math Lab à in 425 SSB offers free
tutoring during the day, evening and weekends. For more information call (314)

NOTE: If you decide to drop the course, make
sure that you do it according to the UMSL regulations. It is important that a student not simply
ceases attending class – an official withdrawal from the course is necessary to
avoid an “F” grade.
