Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, a student should be able to:
(1) Define and use transcendental functions, including logarithmic and exponential functions.
(2) Compute derivatives and antiderivatives involving transcendental functions.
(3) Apply integration to various applications.
(4) Show various integration techniques
(5) Show correct usage of L’Hôpital’s rule.

COURSE SYLLABUS, CAL II, SUMMER 2, 2011
Attendance : Regular attendance is extremely important in mathematics classes. You may be
dropped for excessive absence (more than 12.5% of the class time, or 2 weeks or the equivalent).
Veterans with excessive absence will be dropped with an official drop form by the last drop day.
If you should decide to withdraw from the course, initiate a student drop in the office. Should
your name remain on the roll at the end of the term, you must receive a grade.
Major Exams: There will be 3 major exams. Each major exam score will count for 20% of the
final course average.
Final Exam: The final exam will cover all the course material. The final exam score will count
for 40% of the final course average.
Grading Formula: The grading formula is:
Co
C
Course average
=
( T1 + T2 + T3 ) ( 0.20 ) + ( F ) ( 0.40 )
where T1, T2, T3 are the 3 major exam scores, and F the final exam score.
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA): Persons needing accommodations due to a
documented disability should contact the ADA counselor for their college as soon as possible.
Departmental Policies:
1. The final exam is comprehensive and questions on it can deal with any of the course objectives.
2. Each student should receive a copy of the syllabus for the course on the first day of class.
3. A comprehensive final examination must be given. The final examination must be taken by all
students.
4. All major exams should be announced clearly in advance in the course syllabus.
5. The final exam must count for at least 25% and at most 40% of the final grade.
6. The final course average will be used in the usual manner. Grades will be assigned as follows:
Course average :
Grade :
90 - 100
A
80 - 89
B
70 - 79
C
60 - 69
D
Below 60
F
7. Either an open book or a take-home major exam may be given at the discretion of the
