MAC 2312, Analytic Geometry and Calculus II
Instructor: Frank Lübeck
Office: Little 410
Phone: (not yet available)
Office hours: MW 11:45-12:35 and by appointment, or use email to contact
me
Classes: MTWF8 (3:00-3:50 pm) in Matherly 003
Textbook
J. Stewart, Calculus - Early Transcendentals, 4th edition, Brooks/Cole
The course will roughly follow the Chapters 6, 7, 11, 8, 10, probably in this
order.
Syllabus
The main topics of the course are integration (computational techniques and
applications), sequences, series, convergence, polar coordinates.
The content will be developed along many examples from geometry, physics and
so on. General formulae will be derived from the examples but often not
proved rigorously. The emphasis is on applying formulae and techniques to
given problems.
Homework
I will assign a list of homework problems weekly. One of the classes each
week will be used for discussion of the problems. Students are encouraged to
present their solutions.
The homework solutions will not be collected or graded. But note that you
will have difficulties with the exams if you do not work on the problems.
Exams and Grading
The grading for the course will be based on exams.
There will be four one hour exams (during the class meetings), with each you
can get 20 points. And there will be a final exam, covering the topics of
the whole semester, worth 40 points.
For the final grading the worst one hour exam is dropped, such that you can
get at most 100 points.
Then the following grading scheme is applied:
| A | B+ | B | C+ | C | D+ | D | E |
| 86-100 | 81-85 | 76-80 | 71-75 | 66-70 | 61-65 | 51-60 | 0-50
|
Dates of exams: will be determined later.
Attendance and Missed Exams
Attending the classes is completely the students responsibility.
You can miss one of the one hour exams, which is then the one which is
dropped for the grading. Therefore there will be no make up exams.
General Policies
Students are expected to be on time in class and not to disturb other
students during class (for example with ringing cell phones).
Students requiring special classroom accomodations for disabilities must
first register with the Office of the Dean of Students. This office will
provide documentation to the student, who must then give it to the
instructor.
