Instructor: Matt Ollis, Sci 218, matt@marlboro.edu
Timetable: TuTh 8.30 - 9.50am
Course Outline: The course will follow chapters
0 - 5 and 8 of Himonas and Howard's "Calculus: Ideas
and Applications" (Wiley). After this we will briefly
consider one or 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. 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 as soon as possible after the material is
covered in class.
Grades: Here is the breakdown for how your
grade will be calculated:
Graded homework assignments: 30%
3 take-home quizzes: 5% each
3 in-class quizzes: 5% each
Final exam: 40%
Prompt submission of homework and class attendance and participation
are expected. Your overall grade will be affected by
upto one letter grade by these factors.
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 Thursday
beforehand). You may wish to discuss any assignments that
you find difficult.
