Summer 2015
Class meeting information: Class meets 3 times per week (3-credit semester course):
M, W, F (in JTB 130) 09:00-11:15 a.m. 06/25 - 08/05

Office Hours: MWF 11:15-12:00 and of course, by appointment.
Question&Answer Sessions: I will run not only office hours but also a Questions and
Answers session as well. There we can get together for additional review, for answering
more questions and doing more examples. Note: even though it will be helpful for
everybody to attend, regardless to whether or not you have specific questions, to make
this work most efficient and helpful I strongly suggest that you bring your specific
questions to discuss.
Prerequisites: "C" or better in (MATH 1050 OR MATH 1080 OR MATH 1090 OR MATH 1210) OR
Accuplacer CLM score of 80 or better OR ACT Math score of 28 or better OR SAT Math score of
630 or better.
Course Description: Not for students who have completed more than one semester of calculus.
Differentiation, maximization and minimization of functions, marginal analysis and the
optimization of constrained functions, integration and applications. We will cover the following
chapters and sections of our text book: 9.1 − 9.9, 10.1 − 10.5, 11.1 − 11.5, 12.1 − 12.4, 13.1 −
13.4, 13.7, 14.1 − 14.2.
Expected Learning Outcomes: upon successful completion of this course, a student should be
able to:
o Have a basic conceptual understanding of limits.
o Know how to differentiate and integrate polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and
exponential functions.
o Use derivatives to gather information about the shape of the curve and use that
information to graph the curve y = f(x), for polynomial, logarithmic, exponential and
simple rational functions.
o Understand how to use differentiation to optimize functions for business applications,
such as maximizing profit examples.
o Use integration to find area under curves and for business examples such as average
value.
o Take partial derivatives of basic functions of two variables.
Required Textbook: Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life and Social Sciences,
10th Edition, by Harshbarger & Reynolds. ISBN: 9781133106234 . You can find more
information about Textbook on our class web page.
Assignments: Homework is to be completed on WebAssign. Almost every class day there will be
a due homework set. You have to submit your HW no later than at noon of the day it’s due.
Late submission will not be allowed. You are welcome to work together, or get help from me or
tutors at the tutoring center. However, it is your responsibility to know how to do the problems
on your own, as similar problems will appear on tests and the final exam.
Quizzes: We will have 3 quizzes (15-20 min each, and if you are late no extra time will be given).
No make up Quiz will be given, but I will drop your lowest quiz grade.
Tests: We will have 3 Tests (60 min each, and if you are late no additional time will be given).
Here is tentative schedule of them: Test 1 – Jul. 10th; Test 2 –Jul. 22nd; Test 3 –Aug. 3rd. I will
post solutions for tests a few days after each test.
Make ups: You should make every effort to participate in all tests. If you have to miss a test,
talk to me, before the test. If you missed a test for a legitimate (documented! documents
should be provided in person no later than 1 week after missed test!) reason, I will use the
weight of the final exam as a grade for the missed exam. Thus, if you get x percent on the final,
you will also get x percent on your missed test. You may exercise this option only ONCE a
semester and with my prior approval.
Final Exam: The final exam for this course is a COMPREHENSIVE exam
Friday, August 7, 2015 7:30 - 9:30 am
Grading Plan: Homework - 20 points (each set – 2 points, so 2*12=24, but I’ll drop 2 lowest, so
20), 3 quizzes – 5 points each, but again, I’ll drop lowest, 3 tests – 15 points each (45 points
totally), Final exam–25 points.
So, 20+10+45+25=100 – you can get 100 points
Grading Scale: A (93-100), A- (90-92), B+ (87-89), B(83-86), B- (80-82), C+ (77-79), C (73-76), C(70-72), D+ (67-69), D (63-66), D- (60-62), E (0-59)
Important Dates:
Last day to drop (delete) classes
Last day to add, elect CR/NC, or audit classes
Last day to withdraw from classes
Saturday, July 4
Wednesday, July 8
Friday, July 17
Tutoring Center: Free tutoring is available in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics Center, located
between LCB and JWB, Room 155. The tutoring center will be open through finals and the hours
are: M-Th: 8am - 8pm, F: 8am - 4pm. The tutoring center is closed during weekends, and
University holidays. Also, the Math Center has four group study rooms that may be reserved by
groups of students from math classes. Reservations are made through office 155A in the math
center. Along the wall adjoining the math library are study desks that you can use as well.
Calculators: A basic Scientific Calculator will be sufficient for doing Homework (no graphing or
cell phone or programmable calculators). But calculators are not required and will NOT be
allowed for exams.
ADA Statement: The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services and
activities for people with disabilities. If you will need accommodations in the class, reasonable prior
notice needs to be given to the Center for Disability Services (CDS), 162 Olpin Union Building, 581- 5020
(V/TDD). CDS will work with you and me to make arrangements for accommodations. All information in
this course can be made available in alternative format with prior notification to CDS.
Student Responsibilities: All students are expected to maintain professional behavior in the classroom
setting, according to the Student Code, spelled out in the Student Handbook. You have specific rights in
the classroom as detailed in Article III of the Code. The Code also specifies proscribed conduct (Article
XI) that involves cheating on tests, collusion, fraud, theft, etc. Students should read the Code carefully
and know you are responsible for the content. According to Faculty Rules and Regulations, it is the
faculty responsibility to enforce responsible classroom behaviors, beginning with verbal warnings and
progressing to dismissal from class and a failing grade. Students have the right to appeal such action to
the Student Behavior Committee. http://regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.php
Other Rules:
o Students are encouraged to attend every class and participate actively by asking questions
both in and out of class.
o If you have questions about any exam grade, or you want to appeal the grading of the
exam, you must bring it within one week of the exam. After that, no such request will be
entertained.
o Students are expected to arrive on time and stay for the whole duration of the class.
This is a tentative schedule. It may be modified depending on the progress of the class.
