Course Description: Calculus I, a four-credit course, is the first of three basic courses in the calculus sequence. This course is required for students majoring in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and the physical sciences. Topics include limits, continuity, differentiation, and the Riemann sum. Applications of the derivative are studied in detail including maxima and minima problems, curve sketching, optimization problems, differentials, and approximations. Topics on integration include the Riemann sum, the definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th ed by James Stewart, Brooks/Cole Publishing, 2008.

Upon successful completion of the course a student should be able to do the following:

• Determine the limit of functions in three ways: numerically, graphically, and analytically.
• Determine the continuity of a function at a point and on an interval as well as be able to describe the type of discontinuity that exists.
• Recognize and determine infinite limits.
• Understand the geometric interpretation of the derivative as the slope of a tangent line to a function at a specified point.
• Understand the physical interpretation of the derivative as a rate of change.
• Determine the derivative of a function by using the definition and the rules.
• Recognize and be able to apply theorems including Intermediate Value, Rolle's, and Mean Value.
• Make use of the derivative to help in analyzing the graph of a function.
• Solve applied optimization problems.
• Find the antiderivative of a given function.
• Understand the relationship between the Riemann sum and the definite integral.
• Understand and be able to apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Grading: Your grade for the semester will be based on two tests, ten turn-in homework assignments, four Maple lab assignments, and a comprehensive final examination.

TENTATIVE TEST DATES

Test 1: Thursday, October 11
Test 2: Thursday, November 29
Final Exam: Date and time to be determined by the Registrar's Office

*Attendance: You must attend class 90% of the time ( approximately 37 days out of 41) in order to recieve the full 5% which is 30 points towards your grade at the end of the semester.

Note: Students with disabilities: If you have a documented or thought to have a documented disability (learning, physical, psychological) for which you are or may be requesting reasonable academic adjustments, you are encouraged to contact Services for Students with Disabilities, Room 113 Science Center, 610-660-1774 or 610-660-1620 as early as possible in the semester. Accomodations can only be provided to those students with current (3 years) documentation. All requests for reasonable academic adjustments such as extended time for tests must be discussed with the professor a minimum of one week before the scheduled test date.

Academic Honesty: I will adhere to the Academic Honesty Policy as stated in the University Catalogue. In particular, anyone found cheating, copying, offering and/or receiving unauthorized assistance on tests or exams would be violating the University Academic Honesty Policy. Any test or assignment found to be in violation of this policy would receive a grade of zero. I strongly suggest that you read your University catalogue and become familiar with the policy and precedures that govern academic honesty.

Last day to withdraw from this course without penalty: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2.

MAT 1351 - CALCULUS I HOMEWORK GUIDELINES I cannot stress enough the importance of working problems in mathematics. It is the best way to learn the subject regradless of the level of mathematics that one is studying. We will have daily homework assignments throughout the semester. You should not view homework as busy work. It is intended to teach you how to do the problems and will be graded for correctness. Each problem set will contain previously covered material as well as current material. I will grade four of the assigned problems in each homework set. If you did not do one of the assigned problems and I grade it, you will get zero points for that particular problem. Thus it is important that you attempt all of the problems that are assigned. You may work with others when doing homework. You should make a note on your homework of anyone that you worked with. You will not receive credit for copying homework from someone else. The work on the page should be your own. If you are asked to work a problem on the board, you should be able to explain any solution you turn in with little reference to the written work. Each assignment will be work 15 points distributed as follows:

Deadlines:

• Turned in on time as requested (1 point)
• Turned in before homework is returned (0 points)

• Written in a clear, legible fashion and stapled (2 points)
• A problem or two like no staple, no name, not labled with date, ilegible, problems out of numerical order, excessive crossing outs or erasures. (1 point)
• Many problems like the ones listed above or otherwise illegible (0 points)

• (3 points) Steps clearly shown if needed, clear and correct exposition (if writing assignment), perhaps a very small computational error allowed, but the student demonstrates a clear understanding of the topic at hand.
• (2 points) Only small errors, such as incorrect or no units with problem. Some steps are unclear or incorrect, but the student appears to have a general idea of how to solve the problem.
• (1 point) An honest, concerted effort was made to work the problem, however some significant error was made, i.e., wrong method used to solve the problem, significant arithmetic errors, incorrect statement made in exposition.
• (0 points) Steps used and numbers written appear random. You appear to have spent very little to no time attempting the problem. It is clear that the student does not understand many, if any, of the concepts needed to solve the problem.
