Textbook
General Calculus Linear Algebra Math 205, Kansas State University, Wiley Custom
Services, ISBN 978-047089179-7
Calculator
You need a calculator capable of college-level calculus and graphing. A TI-83 is
sufficient.
The Course Goal
Study concepts, properties and techniques in calculus and linear algebra. Learn their
applications to business, management, and economics. Learn to analyze the mathematical
nature behind realistic problems. Develop ability to analyze relationships between
quantities in a given model.
Office Hours and Help Sessions
Each instructor will have his/her own office hours. In addition, help sessions are
held Monday through Friday during the day in Cardwell Hall 041. Help Sessions begin the
first week of class. There will be a help session schedule posted across from the Math office
in Cardwell and also on the following website.
http://www.math.ksu.edu/courses/help/helpsche.pdf
Several instructors will be present to assist you. Tutors for most math courses can be
located through the Mathematics Department or through numerous service organizations on
campus.
Lectures and Quizzes
Lectures are conducted by your recitation instructor. Be sure to bring your textbook
when attending lectures. Attendance is required. Work in class will be evaluated through
quizzes and other activities as required by the recitation instructor. No make ups.
Homework
Homework assignment after each class is due on Monday 5pm of the following week (see
the schedule sheet). In particular, assignments after Monday classes are also due on Monday
of the following week (and not of the same week!). The last homework is due at 5pm on July
29. Ten randomly selected problems are graded each week. NO LATE HOMEWORK IS ACCEPTED (NO
EXCEPTIONS). You can turn in your homework six or less days earlier than the due date,
but not one week earlier.
Exams
All exams are closed book, closed note, with calculators allowed. There will be no
make-up exams.
Grading
Total of 560 points. Final grades will be assigned by curve according to those of the
exams.
Homework: 8 total, 20 points each
Mid-term exam: 100 points
Final exam: cumulative, 200 points
Classroom Participation: 100 points
Tips for succeeding in this course
Please note that this is a summer course and thus has a much more rapid pace; your
grade is significantly based on your homework score and in-class participation. This
reflects how important it is to do your home-work as it is impossible to learn mathematics
without actually solving problems. Try to look at homework exercises before coming to class
and ask specific questions during lectures. Group study is encouraged. The problems in the
exams will be very similar to the homework problems. Read the sections, and do not fall
behind.
Preparing Your Homework
There will be homework boxes assigned to each math class. The boxes are located next
to CW 120. You will need to find MATH 205 box with the name of YOUR INSTRUCTOR. For full
credit show your work in detail. Be courteous to the grader:
Please always write legibly and present your solutions in an organized way. The front page
of each assignment should contain your name, the course and assignment number and the name
of your instructor. Example: Tom Smith, Math 205 Homework 2, Instructor: Louis Pigno.
Homework must be stapled and not folded. Please do not try to attach pages together by folding
at the corner and do not use paper torn from spiral notebooks. If you fail to follow any
of these rules, your homework might be rejected and you may receive no credit.
Please put your solutions in the exact order of problems in which they were assigned. The
homework graders have too little time to search through your homework, or to try to decipher
what you've written.
Your work will be graded not only on the correctness, but also on your exposition. Show
your work. If your work is illegible or confusing to read, it may be counted as incorrect.
Late work and make-ups
No late work will be accepted, and no make-up quizzes or exams. If you have a medical
or another substantial excuse, you will have to present a written document to prove your
case. Then, you will be allowed to drop that quiz/exam/homework, and the rest of the grades
from the same category will be rescaled. You must take the final exam in order to get a
grade A-D. If possible, inform your instructor of your absence ahead of time. In case of
emergency, try to inform your instructor or the Department of Mathematics by phone.
Important Dates
100% refund: June 16, 2015
50% refund: June 19, 2015
Drop a class without a W on transcript: June 24, 2015
LAST DAY to drop a class (W on transcript): July 9, 2015
There is not a specific due date for grades to be posted but generally we follow the
same guidelines as in fall and spring. Grades should be posted by Tuesday, August 4 th.
Academic dishonesty
Plagiarism and cheating are serious consequences and may be punished by failure on
the exam, failure in the course and/or expulsion from the university.
Special Conditions
If you have a physical or learning disability, which will make it difficult for you
to carry out the work outlined above or which will require academic accommodations, please
notify your instructor in the first two weeks of classes.
Expectations for Classroom Conduct
All student activities in the University, including this course, are governed by the
Student Judicial Conduct Code as outlined in the Student Governing Association By Laws,
Article VI, Section 3, number 2. Students who engage in behavior that disrupts the learning
environment may be asked to leave the class.
