IMPORTANT: This course will be taught over the internet using the software package Scientific Notebook.
There is no book required for this course. If you have already bought the Stewart book, it will make a good
reference. The material is taught over the web, so do not expect the traditional lecture. To be successful in
the course, YOU must be disciplined enough to work and learn on YOUR own.
MWF Classes: You will read the sections using Sci-Notebook and work the online exercises. Work these
problems by hand, using paper and pen/pencil, before checking the online answers. A teaching assistant will
also be available to answer questions.
TR Classes: We will work problems in class and take quizzes. You will also be able to ask questions over the
material or problems.
MATH 151 WEB PAGE: The Mathematics Department has a web page for Math 151. Its URL address is
http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/docs/math151
CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Vectors and Parametric Curves, Limits, Derivatives, and Applications, Integrals
GRADING POLICY: Your grade will be determined by three exams, a cumulative final exam, and a
quiz/homework grade. The weights of each of these are as follows:
Exam I
15%
October 3
Exam II
15%
October 29
Exam III
20%
December 3
Final Exam
25%
Quiz/Homework
25%
The final exam is on Wednesday, December 18 from 1-3pm.
Exams I, II, and III are common exams and are administered in the evenings from 7:30-9:30pm. The room for
the exam will be given the week of the exam. If you miss an exam, you must contact me within 48 hours of
the exam. To make up the exam you will need appropriate documentation of a university-excused absence.
Any question regarding grading/scoring must be done within a week of the return of the exams or no change
in the grade will be made.
WEEK IN REVIEW: See my web site for this information.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance of both lectures and labs is mandatory for a successful completion of this
course. There will be a quiz everyday in the Tuesday/Thursday part of the course. The sections that this quiz
covers will either be announced in the computer labs or placed on my web site. I will take your best 20 quiz
grades out of the 24 given. There will be no makeup quizzes.
COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: Please note that all written and web materials for this course are protected
by copyright laws. You can xerox( or download) one copy for your own use, but multiple copies are forbidden
unless written permission is obtained by your instructor.
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Any instance of scholastic dishonesty
will be handled as consistent with University Regulations. Programming notes/formulas into your calculator
is considered cheating.
This is a tentative schedule and it might change as the semester progresses.
