Technology: A graphing calculator is useful. A TI–83 is recommended. Calculators with QWERTY
keyboards or those that do symbolic algebra such as the TI-89, or the Casio FX2 or 9970G cannot be used
in class or during an exam.
Attendance: is required; parts of this class may be in a cooperative learning format. You will be assigned
group work in and out of class. Repeated absences (more than 4 unexcused) will result in lowering your
grade in the course. Students absent for university sponsored events or must make arrangements for making
up the work they will miss before they are absent.
Homework: is required. Selected problems from your textbook will be assigned and graded. Late
homework will not be accepted without a valid reason.
Disability Resource Center: If you believe that you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please
contact “Disability Resources Center” in Bldg. 57-Room 1500.
Plan for dealing with disruption of normal activities:
In the event of disruption of normal classroom activities due to an emergency such as hurricane, pandemic
or other unforeseen event or combination of events, the format of this course may be modified in order to
enable completion of the course requirements. In that event, you will be provided an addendum to this
syllabus that will supersede this version. It is your responsibility as a student participant to be proactive
during any emergency to find instructions that I will be sent through email (or posted to the osprey website)
as determined by the instructor as appropriate for the circumstances.
General Education Outcomes:
MAC 2311 is designed to help students acquire the following General Education competency.
Analyzing and Reasoning Quantitatively: This competency includes but is not limited to determining
appropriate mathematical and computational models and methods in problem solving; understanding
mathematical, statistical, and computational concepts; applying mathematical and computational models
and methods in problem solving.
To do this we will present the standard techniques of Calculus I: evaluating limits, translating wordproblems into mathematical models, calculating derivatives, graphing functions, and calculating integrals.
These techniques will then be applied to solve a variety of Calculus problems. The applications will
include but are not limited to mastering Calculus techniques, solving optimization problems, solving
related-rates problems, and analyzing functions.
Disclaimer: The instructor reserves the right to amend this syllabus at any time. Changes will be
announced in class. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of any changes.
