Required Texts:
1. Calculus: Early Vectors by James Stewart
2. Matlab: An Introduction with Applications by Amos Gilat
Material to be Covered:
Chapter 7 – Applications of Integration
Chapter 8 – Techniques of Integration
Chapter 9 – Further Applications of Integration
Chapter 10 – Infinite Sequences and Series
Chapter 11 (Sections 11.1-11.3) – Three-Dimensional Vectors
Course Description: Differentiation and integration techniques and their applications (area,
volumes, work), improper integrals, approximate integration, analytic geometry, vectors, infinite
series, power series, Taylor series, computer algebra. MATH 172 designed to be a more
demanding version of this course. Prerequisite: MATH 151 or equivalent. Credit will not be
given for more than one of MATH 148, MATH 152 and MATH 172.
Learning Objectives: Students will develop skills to compute areas and volumes, solve real
world problems involving selected concepts from the physical and life sciences, and economics,
integrate by using substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions, analyze the
convergence of infinite sequences and series, perform basic vector algebra, apply specific
concepts to certain problems from the real world and other sciences.
Grading Policy: Students’ grades will be determined by their performance on homework,
quizzes, lab assignments, three common exams, and the cumulative final exam.
Grade Distribution:
A – 90-100%
B – 80-89%
C – 70-79%
D – 60-69%
F – below 60%
Homework: 15%
Average of Exams I, II, and III: 50%
Lab Assignments/Quizzes: 10%
Comprehensive Final Exam: 25%
Homework: All homework for the course will be assigned and completed using WebAssign.
Students can log in to WebAssign at https://www.webassign.net/tamu/login.html. Late
homework will not be accepted.
Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes given during the recitation/computer lab sessions. The
questions on these quizzes will be similar to the assigned homework problems and the examples
presented during class or recitation.
Exams: Exams I, II and III are common exams (same exam is given for all sections of Math
152) and are administered in the evenings from 7:30-9:30 PM on the dates listed in the schedule
posted at http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/math152/commonexamsched.html. Any student
with a documented class conflict with the exam time may schedule to take a make-up exam. You
must inform your instructor in advance so arrangements can be made with departmental staff
either in Blocker or Milner for such make-ups. Students with verified disabilities can make an
arrangement for the exam to be administered by the Office of Support Services for Students with
Disabilities.
Exam Structure:
1. Students need to bring a ScanTron Form #882-E or #815-E (as announced by your instructor),
No.2 pencil, and a picture I.D. to each common exam.
2. Exams are two hours long.
3. The exam will have two parts, the first part multiple-choice (no partial credit) and the second
part work-out (partial credit possible).
4. Electronic devices of any type are not allowed for the exam.
5. The entire exam is closed book. Students are not allowed to use notes or formula sheets.
Final Exam: The cumulative final exam will be on May 6 from 8:00-10:00 AM.
Make-Up Policy: Make-ups for missed homework and exams will only be allowed for a
university approved excuse in writing. Wherever possible, students should inform the instructor
before an exam or assignment is missed. Consistent with University Student Rules, students are
required to notify an instructor by the end of the next working day after missing an exam or quiz.
Otherwise, they forfeit their rights to a make-up.

Extra Help: The Mathematics Department offers help sessions for students. These sessions are
designed to help students with their homework problems and other questions. The schedule for
help sessions can be found at http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/helpsessions.html.
Academic Integrity: Copying work done by others, either in-class or out of class, is an act of
scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent allowed by University policy.
Collaboration on assignments, either in-class or out-of-class, is forbidden unless permission to do
so is granted by your instructor. Always abide by the Aggie Code of Honor: “An Aggie does not
