Students are expected to register/purchase soon. [ Click here for instructions ]
Calculator: A graphing calculator (eg. TI-82,83,84,86,89) will be used daily. Smart phones / cell phones /
ipads / etc. are not allowed on tests.
Pre-requisites : Grade of C- or better in Math 30 or Math30P.
Material to be covered: Appendix E, Appendix H, Chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11.
Home Reading: Sections 7.5, 7.6 ,11.7. Optional material, if time permits: Sections 8.4, 8.5, 11.11.
Catalog Description : Definite & indefinite integration and applications. Sequences and series. Graphical,
algebraic and numerical methods of solving problems.
Course Objectives: To learn the concepts and techniques of integral calculus and to use them in solving
applied problems. To learn the concept of infinite sequences and series. To investigate convergence
properties of numerical and power series and their application to representation of functions as power series.
In order to meet the objectives, students must learn how to use and understand these mathematical ideas. It
is imperative that students attend class regularly, read the textbook and examples, do their classwork /
homework / WebAssign daily and use this knowledge in solving applied problems. Students who intend to
continue into calculus 3 (math 32) must earn a grade of C- or better in this class.
Math 31 Calculus-2 Student Outcomes appear at the end of this course outline. [click here]
Adding/Dropping: There is usually a long waiting list for this course. In case a registered student drops, and
an empty spot is created, your scores on the first test and homework will decide whether you can add.
“Repeating Students” have least priority. After the drop-deadline, you can only drop with "serious &
compelling" reasons. Relevant dates are given in the calendar. [click here]

Study Habits: In this 4-unit course, students are expected to spend 8 to 12 hours per week outside of class
(studying and doing homework). You must pay attention in class and use WebAssign to keep a record of all
the homework problems. We will discuss solutions to some problems, but not all. You will learn best if you
think hard about a problem and write a partial solution before you see an answer. WebAssign is somewhat
forgiving on homework, but don’t misuse it. It is obvious that “you learn math by doing it and not by watching
the instructor solve problems on the board”. You will notice that time spent on a homework pays off during a
test, especially because many homework problems may show up on tests.
Tutoring centers: “peer connections” http://peerconnections.sjsu.edu/ and Math-Lab MH-221
Make-up exams and quizzes: You will receive a “zero-score” for missing a test. There will be no "makeups". In case of unusual circumstances you must contact me before the exam (via phone, message, inperson-note, ...). Proof of sickness, accident, brother’s wedding, “my car broke down just before the
exam” etc., will be required. If I accept your reason for missing a test as "valid", then your next test’s
grade will be counted in place of a missed test. Our pace will be about "one section per day", so, if you are
left behind for some reason, be prepared to “catch up” at your own risk. An “Incomplete” grade will not
be given on basis of poor performance in the course.
Workshops: In the past, students who participated regularly in precalculus and calculus workshops, have
passed their courses 75% to 80% of the time; while students who did not take workshops, passed their
courses about 40% of the time. Therefore, all students are strongly encouraged to take Math 31W. In these
workshops, students work in small groups and solve problems, to help build their skills and confidence in
problem solving. A workshop meets for 75-minutes, twice a week. More information about workshops can be
found at the website, http://www.sjsu.edu/math/calculus/workshops/
Cheating: The campus academic integrity policy requires you to be honest in all your academic course work.
Cheating on any quiz or exam may result in an F grade in the course. On homework you can consult with
other students on general matters. A copied homework is cheating. On tests, exposing your work so others
can copy, is also cheating. Students are expected to be aware of the Academic Integrity Policy at SJSU. The
policy on academic integrity can be found at:
http://www.sjsu.edu/studentconduct/docs/Academic_Integrity_Policy_S07-2.pdf
Academic integrity statement (from Office of Judicial Affairs): “Your own commitment to learning, as
evidenced by your enrollment at San José State University, and the University’s Academic Integrity Policy
requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty are required to report all infractions to the
Office of Judicial Affairs.”
Disability: If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, please see the
instructor privately or during regular office hours. The Disability Resource Center, DRC, is now called
Accessible Education Center, AEC, phone (408) 924-6000, website: http://www.sjsu.edu/aec/
Campus policy in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act: “If you need course adaptations
or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be
evacuated, please make an appointment with your instructors as soon as possible, or see them during office
hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities register with AEC to establish a
record of their disability (http://www.sjsu.edu/aec/).”
Class attendance According to University policy F69-24, “Students should attend all meetings of their
classes, not only because they are responsible for material discussed therein, but because active participation
is frequently essential to insure maximum benefit for all members of the class. Attendance per se shall not be
used as a criterion for grading.”
Important Dates can be found in the calendar [link for calendar]
Math 31 Calculus-2 Student Outcomes
At the end of the semester, a student should be able to
1. Apply the concepts and techniques of integral calculus in solving applied problems.
2. Use mathematical methods to solve quantitative problems, including those presented in verbal form
3. Use the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other
physical applications.
4. Use substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and tables of antiderivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.
5. Use improper integrals. Apply the concepts of limits, convergence, and divergence to evaluate some
classes of improper integrals.
6. Apply concepts of infinite sequences and series to determine convergence or divergence of sequences
& series.
7. To investigate convergence properties of numerical and power series and their application to
representation of functions as power series.
8. Use Taylor and MacLaurin series to represent functions and to integrate functions not integrable by
conventional methods.
9. Use graphing calculators, mathematical software, etc., to solve standard calculus problems, specially

WebAssign: Obtaining Access Codes
WebAssign gives you a 14-day grace period to view and complete your homework without an access code. After 14 days, you will
need a valid access code or you will be locked out of that course in WebAssign. Most codes are valid for one term. If a code is valid
for a longer period of time, the duration is stated on the access code card.
There are four ways to obtain an access code:
1.
Purchase an access code online after logging into your WebAssign account. This method is the easiest because
WebAssign automatically provides a correct code for each course. A credit card or PayPal account is needed for this option.
2.
Purchase a textbook that is bundled with an Access Code Card, and enter the code after logging into WebAssign.
Important! Before opening the access code, ensure that you purchased the correct textbook by checking that the prefix for
your access card matches the textbook. If they do not match, please make sure that you purchased the correct textbook. If you
did, then ask your instructor to ensure that the correct textbook has been selected in WebAssign.
3.
Purchase an access code card separately at your bookstore, and enter the code after logging into WebAssign. For this
option, before going to the bookstore, find the matching prefix for your textbook title to ensure that you purchase the correct
Access Code Card. Enter the access code after logging into WebAssign.
4.
Some institutions, particularly secondary schools, provide access code cards to students. Ask your instructor if you’re
unsure.
Refund Policy
If a student drops a class, a refund can be requested within 14 days of the online purchase date. Please fill out the Request a Refund
form to process this request.
Note: WebAssign cannot provide refunds for printed textbooks or access code cards purchased from your campus bookstore. [back]
