Text Book : Calculus Early Transcendentals 7E, Hybrid (with WebAssgin Homework)
Author: James Stewart



Welcome to the page for Math 132! Math 132 is a continuation of Math 131. We will start by discussing Riemann integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. We will proceed to study techniques and applications of integration, as well as sequences, series, and Taylor series, and some material on differential equations.

1. Homework:
We will be using WebAssign for homework.

The access code (class key) to self-enroll is:

Section 1: wustl 6990 4209
Section 2: wustl 2083 0424

There are going to be 10 sets of homework assignments. The lowest homework grade will be dropped, and the remaining 9 will be counted towards your final course grade. The first homework assignment will be due Wednesday January 29, 6pm. The problem set will be open one week before the due date.
No late homework will be accepted.

2. TA Information: The Discussion Sections are held on Tuesdays. You will do and discuss problems in Discussion Sections. Bring questions you may have. In addition to the Discussion Sections, the teaching assistants will hold weekly office hours. All TA office hours will be held in the Calculus Help Room, Lopata 323. Please refer to the Help Room schedule.
Here is the list of the sections and the TA assistants.

Section A: 8-9A Cupples /207    Liqun Yu
Section B: 9-10A Cupples I/207   Liqun Yu

Section G: 12-1P Cupples I/113    Muxi Li
Section H: 12-1P Cupples I/215     Brady Rocks

3. Exams: There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1, E2, E3. There will also be a final F.
Solutions to the exams will be available the day after each exam.

Exam Date Location Time Solutions
E1 February 5 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
E2 March 5 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
E3 April 9 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
F May 2 TBA 10:30-12:30pm Solutions

Just before the exam, you can look up your exam room assignment on the web at this link: http://www.math.wustl.edu/seatlookup (the course number is 132 and the exam number for midterm one is 1)
You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time.

4. Quizzes:
There will be 9 quizzes during the semester. The quiz is taken at the beginning of your discussion section. The dates for the quizzes are as follows:

January: 28
February: 4, 18, 25
March: 4, 25
April: 1, 8, 22

The lowest two grades will be dropped and the remaining 7 will be counted toward your final course grade. There are 2 questions on each quiz. The questions are usually similar to the suggested problems sets.

5. Grading Information:
The three evening exams, E1, E2, E3, and the final exam F, each out of 100, will be combined in the following way to obtain an exam total grade S, out of 100:

    S := (2E1 + 2E2 + 2E3 + 3F)/9

If your final grade F is larger than the minimum of E1, E2, E3, then the minimum of the midterm exams will be dropped out and will be replaced by the final exam score.

Your course grade will be based on your Webwork score (W) (scaled from 100), your quiz grade (Q) (scaled from 100), and your exam total grade S as follows:

    T := 0.8*S + 0.1*Q+0.1*W

For example, if a student obtains midterm exam scores of 86, 60, 74, a final exam score of 78, a webwork score of 88, and a quiz grade of 72, then the 78 replaces the 60, and S is equal to 78.88.
The final grade will be 0.80*78.88 + 0.1*72+0.1*88 = 79.10.

Your letter grade will be based on the scale appearing in the following table.

Numerical Grade Letter Grade
[87, 100] A
[75, 87) B
[62, 75) C
[50, 62) D
[0, 50) F


Policy on missed exams. If you are unable to take one of the Exams E1, E2, or E3 for legitimate reasons (such as verified illness or serious family emergency), you will not be given a make-up exam. You first should talk to Dr. Blake Thornton and explain why you missed the exam; if everything is in order, you will get an excused absence. Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a statistical procedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams including the Final. If you miss the Final exam, and for that receive an excused absence then you must take a make-up final exam.

6. General Exam Policy:
