Prerequisites: UNM-V Students: C or better in Trigonometry (Math 123) and in Precalculus (Math 150).
L.L.H.S. A.P. Calc Students: Appropriate score on ACT or UNM-V Math Placement test.
Useful Materials:
Text: Mr. Murray will use Thomas’ Calculus, 11th ed. by Weir, Hass, & Giordano. Mr. Hollingsworth will use materials of
his own choosing.
Calculator: It is expected that the student be able to use a graphing scientific calculator, such as the TI-83 thru 89, HP49g50g, or other equivalent, in basic ways—arithmetic, scientific notation, trig/inv trig functions, exponents, logs, and graphing. (
Mr. Murray permits calculators to be used on tests as well as homework.) However, all solutions requiring calculations must
show those calculations, clearly and in detail, on paper--merely writing down a result from a calculator (other than arithmetic),
without giving the reasoning &/or mathematics behind it, will result in reduced or zero credit.
Course Learning Objectives: By the end of the course, the student should know how to solve problems involving the following:
Limits; the Derivative; the derivative considered as a rate of change; finding local extrema of functions, and optimization
problems; the mean value theorem; anti-derivatives (Integrals); solving differential equations by integration; estimation with
differentials; estimation with finite sums; definite integrals; finding the area between two curves
Academic Dishonesty is defined in the 2006-2008 UNM-Valencia catalog, and includes copying work from other students. Any
student found doing this on tests is subject to disciplinary action, ranging from “a reduced or failing grade for the work in
question and/or the course to dismissal from the University
Children in Class: Sorry, but children are not permitted in class.
Disabilities: Should you have a documented disability requiring special accommodations, please bring me the appropriate
documentation from Equal Access Services, so we can accommodate your needs.
Makeup Work: Tests: There are no makeup tests, except in genuine emergencies—in such cases, expect a maximum score of
80%. (Early tests, however, might be arranged without penalty.)
Homework: 1 day late: -50%. 2 days late: Zero credit.
