(Office hours may be changed. If change, I will inform you ahead of time.)
LECTURE ROOM & TIME: CAB235, Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 11:00-11:50am.
PREREQUISITE: Math 113 or Math 114, or equivalent.
TEXTBOOK: Any one of the following two textbooks:
• “Thomas’ Calculus”, 11th edition, Media Upgrade, based on the original work by G.B. Thomas Jr., revised
by M.D. Weir, J. Hass, F.R. Giordano,
• “Thomas’ Calculus”, 11th edition by the same authors, with title “Thomas’ Calculus, including secondorder differential equations”, but no “Early Transcendentals” version.
Note: For those who intend to take calculus course(s) math-114, math-115 only: a single variable version : Part
One (Single Variable Calculus) (shorter version) is available too. Solution manuals are also available (for odd
numbered problems). Part one is relevant for this course.
MathXL : A code to access MathXL (online tool) is normally included in the Thomas’ Calculus (new text) bundles offered at the bookstore. Please see University of Alberta bookstore for purchase of a MathXL stand alone
kit, and www.mathxl.com for more details on use. MathXL would normally be needed for certain homeworkassignments, which normally would be counting towards the total.
Course name: MATH 115 - S1, Course ID: XL0F-V1AA-601X-2WH2
It is your responsibility to register to the proper section as the homework marks will be not transferable from
one section to another.
HELP SESSION: Run by the Graduate TA, one-to-one help in ED 751, weekdays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm,
just walk in.
COURSE OBJECTIVES AND SYLLABUS: In this course we will present several applications of definite integral, introduce main transcendental functions(trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions)
and their calculus(differentiation and integration), develop major techniques of integration.
In the textbook Thomas’ Calculus (11e), following will be covered.
Review of notions in sections 5.1 to 5.5 on integration,
Chapter 5. Integration : 5.6 (part is review)
Chapter 6. Applications of Definite Integrals : 6.1, 6.2, Ch. 3 : 3.5 , 6.3, 6.5, 6.6
Chapter 7. Transcendental Functions : 7.1 - 7.3, Ch. 4 : 4.6, 7.4, 7.5, 7.7., 7.8
Chapter 8. Techniques of Integration : 8.1 - 8.8
Chapter 9. Further Applications of Integration : 9.1
GRADING and WEIGHTS: Graduate students TA will grade your written assignments. I will grade your
midterm and final exams. The assignment of grades (i.e. A+,A,A-,B+, . . . ) from the final (or total) score (%)
is not set in advance. Normally, the minimum passing grade (D) would start at a final (or total) score of about
50% and the minimum to obtain a grade A would stand at about 90%. Unless exceptional circumstances occur,
the other grades will be assigned using past performances in this course as a guideline.

ASSIGNMENTS: Normally there will be an assignment each week, Each assignment will be due the following week. There will be about 10 assignments during this semester, half of the assignments online (five times,
with mathxl), and the other half written (handed in on paper). The written assignments can be placed in the
appropriate assignment box (3rd floor CAB) by 4:00 p.m sharp (normally will be Thursday), on the due day
indicated on the paper. Please staple and use a cover page for the written assignments. No late assignments.
Excused absences for (written or online) assignments could be obtained with valid (often to be documented)
reasons. Solutions to the written assignments will be available on the above website after the due day of each
assignment.
Note: Except for online assignments, if you think that an error of grading has been made on your written
assignment, do not hesitate to inform me about this.
Important Remarks: Calculators, cell phones, or other electronic tools, (personal) formula sheets, notes,
books, etc. will be not allowed during the exams.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND HONESTY
“The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students
are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the
University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the
Code of Student Behaviour (online at www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any behaviour which
could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation
in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the
University.” (From Calendar Section 23.4 (2) c)
NOTES: All forms of dishonesty are unacceptable at the University. Cheating, plagiarism and misrepresentation
of facts are serious offences. Typical sanctions for serious violations of the Code have included disciplinary grade
reductions, disciplinary failing grades, suspension or permanent expulsion from the University.
The Code of Student Behaviour also includes a section (30.3.4(1)) : “Inappropriate Behaviour towards
Members of the University Community : Disruption”, and a section (30.5.3) : “Procedures for Instructors in
Cases Respecting Class Disruptions”.
