Liberal Education Mathematical Thinking
This course fulfills the Mathematical Thinking component of the Liberal Education requirements at the University of Minnesota. An important part of any liberal education is learning to use abstract thinking and symbolic language to solve practical problems.  Calculus is one of the pillars of modern mathematical thought, and has diverse applications essential to our complex world.  In this course, students will be exposed to theoretical concepts at the heart of calculus and to numerous examples of real-world applications.

Textbook:
Calculus (for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences), Tenth Edition
by Laurence D. Hoffmann and Gerald L Bradley
For a list of the chapters covered and a tentative schedule, see the
Tentative Course Calendar.

Calculators: You will find a scientific calculator useful in doing the homework problems, and on the quizzes and exams. However, GRAPHING CALCULATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED!

Course topics: A one-semester tour of differential and integral calculus in one variable, and differential calculus in two variables. Does not involve any trigonometry. Emphasis on formulas and their interpretation and use in applications.

Exams: There will be three 50-minute in-class midterm exams, worth 100 points each, and a 3-hour final exam. The final exam will be a comprehensive exam over all the material covered in the course. All exams are closed book and notes, a ``legal'' calculator is allowed. All sections take the same final exam.

Practice Problems (Homework): The practice problems consists of the list of problems found on the page titled Suggested Homework Problems. You are expected to work these problems outside of class, getting help as needed during the Discussion and PAL sessions. Three Homework assignments will be collected and graded during the semester, each assignment will be worth 10 points. The due dates for each can be found on the Tentative Course Schedule page.

Quizzes: There will be eleven (10 point) quizzes. This is one quiz every week of the semester, when there isn't an exam. The quizzes will be held every Friday. The Tentative Course Calendar shows the quizzes and the expected content.

Make-up Midterm Exams: Make-up midterm exams (and quizzes) will only be given to students with legitimate excuses such as verified illness, University sponsored events, etc. Written documentation is required!

Grading:

The course records will be kept in a numerical system. The letter grades, ``A to F'' will only be assigned to the final exam, and of course, the course grade. The course grade is weighted as follows:

The sum of the best 10 of (11 quizzes and 3 HW assignments) counts for 15%.

Each midterm counts for 15% (or 45% total).

The final exam counts for 40% of the final grade.

The final letter grade is assigned according to the Mathematics Department's grading policy for Math 1031, which applies to all sections.

A grade of S requires a grade of C or better.

Attendance: Lecture, Recitation, and PAL session attendance is strongly suggested for successful course completion. Attendance will not be taken on a regular basis.

Incomplete grade: A grade of ``I'' will be given for failure to complete all course requirements due to reasons beyond the students control. The minimal requirement for an incomplete grade is a substantial amount of course work at the level of C- or better. An ``I'' grade requires a written agreement between the student and the instructor. It also requires the completion of a form, which can be obtained in Vincent Hall 115. After 1 year, an ``I'' turns into an ``F'' if the course work is not completed. Any arrangement for an incomplete grade MUST be made before the final exam.

Help: The recitation and PAL class, and office hours are the primary places to get help. I strongly encourage you to attend all classes, and if you are the least bit confused, get help quickly.

More Help: A link to the Library Course page will be posted on my web page. On that page, you will find more information on the SMART Learning Commons and on the availabilty of private tutors.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

1.

Student with disabilities that affect their ability to participate fully in class or to meet all course requirements are encouraged to bring this to the attention of the instructor early in the semester so that appropriate accommodation can be arranged. Further information is available from Disability Services (Suite 230, McNamara Alumni Center).

2.

Scholastic misconduct is broadly defined as ``any act that violates the rights of another student in academic work or that involves misrepresentation of your own work''. Scholastic dishonesty includes (but is not necessarily limited to): cheating on assignments or examinations; plagiarizing, which means misrepresenting as your own work any part of work done by another; submitting the same paper, or substantially similar papers, to meet the requirements of more than one course without the approval and consent of all instructors concerned; depriving another student of necessary course materials; or interfering with another student's work. It is unacceptable behavior!!

3.

To drop the course For the various rules and deadlines for dropping this course, or any course, go to the Student One-Stop Home Page (onestop.umn.edu/) and click on the following sequence:
(1) Under ``Quick Links'', Academic Calendars
(2) Under ``What's Inside'', Cancel/add & Refund Deadlines
(3) Under ``Cancel/add Deadlines by term'', Spring 2012
and voila, there are all the conditions and dates.
Please note that I do not give the grade of ``W'', that is between you, your adviser, and the Registrars Office!
