Text: Calculus Concepts and Contents, fourth edition by Stewart

Content and Goals: This course continues our study from Calculus I. In this course we will study integration and series, including power series and specifically, Taylor series. This corresponds to Chapters 5, 6, and 8 in our text. We'll spend roughly three weeks on each chapter.

Of course, one main goal of this study is mastery of the content. But this is not the only goal for this course (or most any course....). We'll practice thinking critically and logically about new ideas, formulating and asking questions, and integrating knowledge.

Workload:

Differentiation
Mastery A virtually unlimited opportunity to display mastery
of differentiation! The only possible scores are 100%,
corresponding to mastery, and 0%. How does
this work? You'll PRINT OFF an exam, DO IT
WITHOUT help (no book, no notes, no calculator, no friends).
DISCUSS it with me. If it's perfect, you're done; if it's not
perfect, you'll print off a NEW EXAM, and repeat the
process. Must be complete by Wednesday, 5pm, Week 2 5%

Homework Problems and reading will be assigned every class period.
Typically, you'll be assigned reading and some warm up
problems on day n-1 as well as some problems which will
be turned in on day n+1. The warm up
problems will form the basis of our class on day n,
so come prepared to class! The turn in
problems will be collected in class. While no late hw
will be accepted, the two lowest homework grades will be dropped. 5% warm ups
25% turn ins

Midterm Exams There will be two exams during the quarter: one on Monday of
Week 5, and one onWednesday of Week 8. The exams will NOT
be like hw problems, but WILL resemble problems on a review
sheet which will be distributed in class. 15% each

Integration
Mastery A virtually unlimited opportunity to display mastery
of integration and series! The only possible scores
are 100%, corresponding to mastery, and 0%. 10%

Final Exam (Cumulative, as scheduled by the Registrar)
Sunday, March 11, 6:30-9pm 25%
