Math 121 - Basic Techniques, Calculus I CRN 57515 Sp'16 page 1 Instructor: Theodore Enns E-mail: [email protected] Text: Berresford and Rockett - Applied Calculus-7th Ed. with WebAssign Lecture hours: MW 5:30–6:55 PM in MS318, Office Hrs. MW 5:00–5:25 MS222J, 9:30-9:55 PM MS318 Prerequisite: Math 116 with grade "C" or better or equivalent. Description of course; This course covers concepts and applications of algebra, analytic geometry, and calculus with emphasis on graphical methods. This is a course designed for students intending to major in business or the natural sciences or as a general education course for students who do not intend to prepare for a professional career in mathematics, chemistry, physics, or engineering. STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Interpret and evaluate limits of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions 2. Determine the continuity of functions at specific points and in an entire set 3. Calculate derivatives of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions, applying various rules of derivatives 4. Analyze and sketch polynomial and rational functions using the first and second derivative 5. Apply derivatives to solve optimization problems with or without constraints 6. Apply derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions to solve business and life science applications 7. Apply derivatives and integrals to problems relating to business, economics, natural science, and social science 8. Calculate antiderivatives of functions involving algebraic, exponential, or logarithmic functions 9. Calculate antiderivatives using the substitution technique 10. Compute definite integrals by applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and apply definite integrals to find the area under a curve and between two curves 11. Calculate derivatives of multivariable functions and apply them to maximization and minimization problems.

Grading procedure: The course grade is based entirely on the scores of the midterms and final given in class during the semester and on the online homework. The lowest test grade, other than that of the final, is dropped and the course grade is 30% based on each the remaining tests and 10% on the online homework. There is no "extra credit" and there is no "do over" of a test once it has been given. An average of 90% or above is a certain A, 80% or above at least a B, 70% or above at least a C, and 60% or above at least a D. The break points for the grades may be lower than just given, depending on the distribution of class scores, but not any higher. The final must be taken to pass the course. It is against the instructor's policy to give an "Incomplete" when the final is not taken. Check the time, date, and place of the final beforehand and be certain to be there. All tests are announced in the schedule. If, for some unavoidable reason (such as a job commitment), you know you cannot be present, check with the instructor to make other arrangements but be certain to do this before the test. There is no re-taking of tests. Each test will be returned graded within a week from when it was given. It is the student's responsibility to pick it up at that time. All work must be done and shown on the test paper. No other paper, including scratch paper, is permitted on the desk during the test. If more space is needed, use the back of the test paper and indicate on the front side when this is done. To receive credit for a problem, all pertinent work must be shown and the answer must be clearly

indicated. If more than one answer is given where only one is appropriate, no credit will be given. Sufficient evidence of cheating on a test will cause that test to be graded as a "0". To find out the results of the final and the course grade, send an e-mail request to the instructor. Students with disabilities: Any student who may need an academic accommodation should discuss the situation with me during the first two weeks so that the appropriate arrangements can be made. Other: A non-graphing calculator with the basic functions of arithmetic as well as the xy, sin, cos, tan, and ln functions is required and should be brought to class, especially on test days. The district’s required statement of attendance policy: ° It  is  the  student’s  responsibility  to  drop  all  classes  in  which  he/she  is  no  longer   participating.    (for  online  classes).   ° It  is  the  student’s  responsibility  to  drop  all  classes  in  which  he/she  is  no  longer  attending   (for  on  campus  classes).   ° It  is  the  instructor’s  discretion  to  withdraw  a  student  after  the  add/drop  deadline  of   September  5  due  to  excessive  absences.   ° Students  who  remain  enrolled  in  a  class  beyond  the  published  withdrawal  deadline,  as   stated  in  the  class  schedule,  will  receive  an  evaluative  letter  grade  in  this  class. Instructors   statement   on  attendance:  Missing   more  than  three  of  the  classes  will  be   considered   excessive   absences.   To receive credit for attending a class, you should attend the entire time of the class period. Statement of retention: Please discuss your plans to withdraw with your instructors. They may have other options that may allow you to continue in class. Classroom behavior and student code of conduct: Students are expected to respect and obey standards of student conduct while in class and on the campus. The Student Code of Conduct, disciplinary procedure, and student due process (Policy 3100, 3100.1 and 3100.2) can be found in the current college catalog in the section Academic Information and Regulations pages 39-51, and at the office of the Dean of Student Affairs (H-500). Charges of misconduct and disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students who violate these standards of conduct or provisions of college regulations. Students are expected to be respectful of the rights of others in a learning environment and conduct themselves accordingly. Other: A non-graphing calculator with the basic functions of arithmetic as well as the xy and ln functions is required. Students should at all times be prepared to present their school photo ID, particularly on test days. Important Dates 02-05-2016 - Last day to add, drop with refund, and drop without "W" 02-08-2016 – Pass/No Pass 04-08-2016 - Last day to drop and not receive a grade. Note: It is the student's responsibility to pay fees, process add codes, and drop officially. Students should consult with instructors before dropping a course.

All of the homework that is graded is done online using the WebAssign access that comes with the text. If you have any questions about this, contact the instructor directly or via email.

Practice problems from the text. You should be certain to do those with the asterisk because they cover material not covered by the online homework. None of these should be handed in, but feel free to ask questions about any of them in class.
