IV. Course Description: A continuation of the study of calculus, including the study of
sequences, series, polar coordinates, parametric equations, techniques of integration,
applications of integration, indeterminate forms, and improper integrals.
V. Course Prerequisites: MATH 123 OR its equivalent at another institution.
The prerequisite course(s) for this course satisfy the following Board of Regents System
General Education requirement.
Goal #5: Students will understand and apply fundamental mathematical processes and
reasoning.
Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking the prerequisite course(s) or by being
placed into this course, students will have:
1. Used mathematical symbols and mathematical structure to model and solve real
world problems.
2. Demonstrated appropriate communication skills related to mathematical terms
and concepts.
3. Demonstrated the correct use of quantifiable measurements of real world
situations.
VI. Course co-requisite: Concurrent registration in Math 125L is required.
VII. Instructional Methods: Lectures and class discussions.

VIII. Course Requirements:
Required Textbook: Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards, Calculus, 8th Edition, 2006,
Houghton Mifflin Company.
Attendance Policy: By university policy, enrollment in a class implies the responsibility
for attending each class session. Students will be allowed to make up graded
work if an absence is due to participation in university-sponsored activities,
provided prior notification of the impending absence has been given to the
instructor.
Cheating and plagiarism Policy: A student who, in connection with his or her studies,
disrupts a class, plagiarizes, cheats, or otherwise violates reasonable standards
of academic behavior may, at the discretion of the faculty member involved,
have his or her enrollment canceled and/or be given a reduced or failing
grade.
Make-Up Policy: Except in the case of a documented emergency, or the absence caused
by a university sponsored activity, NO MAKEUP TESTS OR
HOMEWORK/QUIZZES ARE ALLOWED. The burden of proof regarding
the absence rests with the student. Students that were absent with a
documented emergency or university sponsored activity must see the
instructor to make arrangements for taking a makeup exam.
Technology Policy: Maple software (available on computers in Jonas Science 154 and
Jonas 207) will be used for in class demonstrations and for homework problems requiring
technology. The use of Maple 12 or Maple 13 is recommended for this course. A TI
graphics calculator will also be used. Students must purchase, rent, or borrow a graphing
calculator. All versions of TI-82, TI-83, and TI-84 are acceptable. The TI-89 and TI-92
are NOT acceptable. If you want to use any other calculator, please ask the instructor
first.
IX. Course Goals:



To familiarize students with the ideas and concepts of calculus.
To improve the students' geometric intuition and general mathematical maturity in
preparation for later coursework in mathematics
Enhance the learning of calculus concepts through utilization of mathematical
software and graphics.
X. Student Learning Outcomes:
Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking this course, students will be able to:

1. Evaluate integrals using numerical techniques and techniques of integration on
examinations and homework problems.
2. Apply integration techniques from a variety of fields on examinations and
homework problems.
3. Explain the concepts of infinite series and polar functions on examinations and
homework problems.
4. Investigate the deeper ideas of calculus through the utilization of mathematical
software and graphing utilities on homework problems and/or projects.
This course has been designed to address the following standards:
Alignment of this course to these standards can be found in the STEP Alignment Tool.
XI. Student Evaluation Procedures:
Final grades will be based on the results of three unit examinations, homework and/or
quizzes, and a comprehensive final examination. Grading will be by letter grades as
follows:
90-100=>A; 80-89.99=>B; 70-79.99=>C; 60-69.99=>D; 0-59.99=>F.
Unit Exams: There will be three unit exams. Each unit exam will account for 20% of the
final grade. These exams will be closed book.
Final Exam: A comprehensive final examination will account for 25% of the final grade.
Homework and/or Quizzes: Homework and/or quizzes will account for 15% of the final
grade. No make-up homework and/or quizzes will be given.
XII. Disability Statement: Reasonable accommodations, as arranged through the
Disabilities Services Coordinator, will be provided students with documented disabilities.
Contact the BHSU Disabilities Services Coordinator, Mike McNeil, at 605-642-6099,
(Jacket Legacy Room in the Student Union) or via email at Mike.McNeil@bhsu.edu for
more information. Additional information can also be found at

XIII. Freedom in Learning: Under Board of Regents and University policy student
academic performance may be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or
conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. Students should be free to take
reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve
judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of
any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an academic
evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct

unrelated to academic standards should contact the chair of the department in which the
course is being taught to initiate a review of the evaluation.
