Prerequisites. Math 131 or a grade of B or better in a one year high school calculus course.

Time. Classes meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in Busch Hall, room 100. Section 1 meets 10:00am-11:00am. Section 2 meets 11:00am-12:00 noon.

Text. The lectures will generally follow University Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Second Edition) by Joel R. Hass, Maurice D. Weir, and George B. Thomas Jr., which was the text used in Math 131 in Fall, 2014. You are welcome to use any similar calculus textbook, or none at all.

Homework. Homework problems will be generated and graded weekly on WeBWorK. You are encouraged to collaborate on homework and to work additional exercises from your textbook, although the homework grade will be based only on your individual WeBWorK results.

Tests. Tests, at which attendance is required, will be given from 7:00pm-9:00pm on Wednesday February 4, Wednesday March 4 and Wednesday April 8. The final examination will be held on Friday May 1 from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

Grading. The homework, the three tests, and the final examination will each be assigned a score and will contribute equal shares (20%) to the course score. Letter grades, computed from the course score, will be at least the following:

Computing. Students are encouraged to use their own computers or those available in the Arts and Sciences Computing Lab for both symbolic and numerical computations.

Office Hours. Teaching assistants, assigned to you at registration, will be available on Tuesdays throughout the day in various classrooms. I will be available in my office Mondays 4:00-5:00pm, and occasionally at other times by appointment.
