Stewart, Calculus, 6th Ed (CSUN)
Office hours:
MTWR 2:40-3:00 pm, Room CR5126
WebAssign:

Class key:
csun 9896 4113
Course Objectives:
1. To develop mastery of standard introductory calculus as required in mathematics,
science and engineering.
2. To understand advanced applications of the definite integral and become proficient at
the computational rules of integration.
3. To develop a basic understanding of infinite series and their convergence, and
applications of power series.
4. To be introduced to numerical methods in calculus, as such methods are important in
advanced applications in science and engineering.
5. To be exposed to polar coordinates and parametric curves as an introduction to math
250.
The immediate goal is that you will succeed in future mathematics courses. The long term goal
is that you acquire the critical thinking and analytical skill for the world outside the classroom.
Attendance:
Attendance is expected at the regular weekly class meetings, and scheduled exam dates. You
will be expected to participate in all aspects of the course delivery, including online homework,
quizzes, weekly exams and final. It is your responsibility to notify the instructor and make
arrangements to complete scheduled exams and all other work you miss as the result of
absence or conflicts, whether excused or unexcused.
Drop Policy:
Withdrawal from the class through the Admissions Office is the student’s responsibility. If you
neglect to submit a drop form to the admission Office, you may receive a “F” grade at the end
of the semester. Refer to the CSUN’ webpage for withdrawal dates. If you have any concerns
regarding your attendance, please contact me immediately via email, or during my office hours.
Academic Integrity:
It is expected that each student will complete his/her own scored assignments, quizzes, and
exams. If the instructor judges that dishonesty occurs, no credit will be given for the work in
question. Any incident of cheating will be brought to the immediate attention of the Office of
Student Affair for further action. A report will be filed with the Disciplinarian. Cheating will not
be tolerated!
Enhanced WebAssign:
The text book for this course comes enhanced with WebAssign. You will receive a code to an
online website www.webassign.net where you can complete homework assignments. The
system also includes Active Examples, in which students are guided in step-by-step tutorials
through text examples, with links to the textbook and to video solutions.
Homework:
Success in any math class is dependent upon completing and understanding all assignments.
Most homework will be given on-line using The WebAssign software. Students should work
enough each week to meet weekly progress goals. The goals become very difficult to meet if
you fall behind, so you must budget enough time to complete weekly expectations. It is the
student’s responsibility to obtain the assignment during an absence. You are expected to
complete each assignment by the next class meeting so that you are ready to ask questions in
class. The class schedule shows the recommended pace for completing the online homework
assignments. Before the due date, you may redo online homework assignments as many times
as you would like to receive a higher score. Your online homework is worth 10% of your overall
score. If you choose not to do online homework using WebAssign, then you can replace your
quiz scores for that portion of your Final grade.
Class work:
You will often be given class work and it may be collected at any time during class. No makeup
work is possible for missed class work. You should bring your textbook with you during the
contact hours. Your class work average is worth 5% of your overall score.
Quizzes:
There will be six in class quizzes. One quiz with lowest score will be dropped. There are no
make-ups on quizzes. If you are absent you will receive a 0 on the quiz on the absent day. Your
quiz average is worth 10% of your overall score.
Exams:
There will be 5 written Exams and a common final exam. Exams are “closed Book”. No make-up
exams will be given. The lowest of the five test scores will automatically be replaced with score
on the final. Tentative exam dates are noted on the Class schedule at the end of syllabus. The
comprehensive final for 150B is scheduled for Aug13 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Grade Components:
Homework (on-line):
10 % of the final grade
Class work
5% of the final grade
Quizzes (6)
10% of the final grade
Exams (5):
45% of the final grade
Final Exam:
30% of the final grade
I use the +/- grading system.
Expectations:
As a student studying mathematics, you should be committed to allocating a minimum of 12 to
15 hours a week for work on this course. It is recommended that you budget even more time if
you have not taken hybrid or online courses before. Concepts discussed in class and online
must be reinforced by doing problems at home. Completing assignments will insure that you
are actively participating in the mathematics and not just observing the mathematics. This is an
essential requirement for the successful completion of this course.
