Instructor: Matt Ollis, Sci 218, matt@marlboro.edu

Timetable: MWF 9.30 - 10.20, Sci A117

Course Outline: The course will follow chapters 1 - 5 and 8 of Himonas and Howard's "Calculus: Ideas and Applications" (Wiley). After this we will briefly consider two more advanced topics depending on the interests of the class (possibilities include multivariable calculus, differential equations and power series) The program will follow a strict schedule that includes drill and practice routines for developing a familiarity with the common tools of calculus alongside discussions surrounding the concepts behind the subject. Thus assignments from the text will prompt class discussion surrounding the concepts, while daily problem sets will reinforce a command of the material. This is a four-credit course and there is much to learn. Please keep in mind that this course requires a daily commitment. The best way to successfully learn the material is to stay ahead of the game and work through the assignments before final class discussion.

Grades: Here is the breakdown for how your grade will be calculated:

Class participation and attendance: 5% Graded homework assignments: 25% 3 take-home quizzes: 5% each 4 in-class quizzes: 5% each Final exam: 35%

Homeworks: Bold numbered problems in the homework assignment section below are to be handed in for grading. Plaintext numbered problems are more drill and practice material that should be worked through to keep up with course material. By 4pm each Friday you are expected to hand in your solutions to the appropriate bold numbered questions (exactly which questions these are will be announced on the Wednesday beforehand). You may wish to discuss any assignments that you find difficult.

Office hours: M 10.30-11.20am; WTh 9 - 9.30am.

Tutoring: Julie Shumway. Sci 217, MWTh 7 - 9pm; F 2 -4pm.
