In this class we will study some basic skills in calculus. The best way to
learn mathematics is to DO it . That means carefully studying the
material covered in lecture notes; studying the solved problems in the book;
diligently doing all the homework problems, and more if time
permits, showing all work and steps as shown in the textbook;
and reviewing the material regularly. It will save you a lot of time
if you study the textbook before you start doing your homework. You will
understand mathematics a lot better if you have paper and pencil at hand
and keep the pencil moving while studying mathematics! It is in your interest
to keep up with the pace of the class and not fall behind. You are required
to do several of the homework problems on Moodle.
Your grade will be based on two midterm exams, each worth 100 points, and
a final exam worth 160 points. Homework will be collected just about every
week for grading. The written homework and the homework done on Moodle
will be worth an additional 20 points each. Thus your grade will be out of
a total of 400 points. Calculators will neither be needed nor allowed on the
exams.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at chandara@math.wisc.edu.
I wish that all of you enjoy this class!
