PREREQUISITE COURSE: MATH 240, Mathematics for Engineering & Science

COURSE GOALS: Students will become proficient in single variable calculus, including computing and interpreting derivatives, and using derivatives to sketch graphs and to solve optimization and related rates problems.

TEXTBOOKS:  Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by  James Stewart, 7th. Ed, and 
                             Single Variable Calculus with Precalculus (second edition), by B. Schröder, Fountainhead Press

COURSE OUTLINE: Stewart: 2.1 - 2.8, 3.1 – 3.6, 3.9 – 3.11, 4.1-4.9, 5.1 – 5.2 (time permitting)
  Schröder 4.1, P6.1, P6.2 and 9.1

ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS:  Class attendance is regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege.  All students are expected to attend regularly and punctually; failure to do so may jeopardize a student’s scholastic standing and may lead to suspension from the university.  

STUDENTS NEEDING SPECIAL ACCOMODATIONS: Students needing testing or classroom accommodations based on a disability should discuss the need with the instructor during the first week of class. Any issues with accessing technology, which are related to a disability, should be reported to the instructor as soon as possible.
HOMEWORK: Homework will be completed using WeBWorK (http://webwork.latech.edu/ ). Additional suggested study problems from the text will be posted on Moodle. WeBWorK will contribute 10% to the overall grade. WeBWorK assignments will be graded based upon what is completed online – paper submissions will not be accepted.

EXAMINATIONS: There will be 3 exams, in addition to a comprehensive final exam at the end of the quarter.  If you miss an exam, you must notify the instructor prior to the exam either in person or by phone.  When you return, it is your responsibility to arrange for a makeup exam. 

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT. In accordance with the Louisiana Tech University bulletin, any form of plagiarism is considered academic misconduct and will carry a minimum penalty of an “F” for the assignment in question. The instructor reserves the right to enforce a more stringent penalty.  For details on the honor code, please refer to http://www.latech.edu/documents/honor-code.pdf

GRADE DETERMINATION POLICY:  The standard ten-point grading scale will be used for this class:  A = 90% - 100%; B = 80% - 89%; C = 70% - 79%; D = 60% - 69%; F = 0% - 59%.  The course grade will be calculated as follows:

Exams (3×20% each)		  60%
Webwork			  10%
Final				  30%
Total	          	  		 100%	

GRADE APPEAL:  In the event of a question regarding an exam grade or final grade, it will be the responsibility of the student to retain and present graded materials which have been returned for student possession during the quarter.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM: All Louisiana Tech students are strongly encouraged to enroll and update their contact information in the Emergency Notification System. It takes just a few seconds to ensure you're able to receive important text and voice alerts in the event of a campus emergency. For more information on the Emergency Notification System, please visit http://www.latech.edu/administration/ens.html
