Prerequisite: Math 212 with a grade of “C” or better.
Text: Calculus of a Single Variable, 9th edition, by Larson and Edwards.
(ISBN-13: 978-0-547-20998-2) You will need to read each section briefly before it is covered in class
and then in more detail after it is covered in class.
Content: In this course, we will learn about….. (most of chapters 7, 9, and 10 in our text book)
Sequences and series, numerical techniques, polar coordinates, and parametric equations.
Class Activities: Classes will consist of small group activities, discussion, individual activities, and
lectures.
Homework: Will be assigned and discussed, but NOT graded. You can find homework assignments
as well as other daily (I’ll try) updates on the course web page in http://blackboard.csusb.edu.
Doing homework for this course is the best way for you to pinpoint difficulties. It is also a wonderful
learning tool. I will take questions about the homework at the beginning of each class session.
Quizzes: Weekly quizzes will be given, except exam weeks. The lowest quiz score will be dropped,
so makeup quizzes will not be given.
Exams: There will be a total of 3 exams given throughout the quarter and in the finals week. The
lower of the first two exam scores will be dropped, so makeup exam will not be given.
► All exams will most likely to have 5 questions for 20 points each and a bonus question
for 5 points extra. Grading will be focus on your understanding (how well you show your
work and how correct is your work), not just on the final answer. Therefore, partial credits
will be given.
► The final exam (exam 3) is not comprehensive and this score can not be dropped!
Administrative Drop: Students who fail to attend TWO consecutive class meetings in the first
three weeks will be dropped!
One Minute “Quiz”: At the end of some class periods I will ask you to hand in a sheet of paper on
which you have filled out the following:
1. What was the most important topic covered today? (That is, what was the main point?)
2. What was the most confusing idea that was covered today? (That is, which concepts did you
find complex or hard to understand?)
3. Any questions or comments?
You need not sign your name unless you have a specific question that you want me to address to you.
I will frequently respond to one minute quizzes during the next class period.
