Course Description

The second in a sequence of four courses for students who are planning to major in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences. Graphical analysis of concepts is emphasized through the use of graphing calculators. Topics for the course include: integrals and their many applications and introductory differential equations. Prerequisite: Grade of "C-" or higher in MATH 124 or permission of Mathematics Department.

The course will also include use of the software Mathematica . Mathematica is available on pc's in Room 207, Room 221, and Room 288 on campus.

Required Materials

• The textbook for the course is Calculus Concepts and Contexts, 2nd edition, Stewart
• A graphing calculator will be necessary. There are many different calculators that are sufficient for the needs of the course. Please feel free to contact the instructor with any questions about calculators.
• Engineering Computation paper for homework assignments, pencil, etc.

Attendance

Attendance at every class session is expected. I understand absences are sometimes unavoidable and will work with students when such occasioins arise. In the event of an absence occuring on the date of a scheduled exam, prior arrangments must be made in order to schedule a time to write the exam.

Homework

Homework from the textbook will be assigned and discussed regularly (usually daily). A combination of textbook problems, Mathematica assignments, and instructor written problems will be assigned and collected to be evaluated.

Grading

Homework, quizzes, exams, Mathematica projects, etc. There are three one-hour exams that will be scaled to 100 points each and the final exam is weighted to 150 points. The points for graded homework assignments, quizzes, and Mathematica projects will be determined when assigned. Final grades are a function of the percentage of possible points earned:

Let p be the percent of the possible course points earned by a student, the course grade is then given in the following table:
