Course ID:       MAC2312

Sections:           9:15 to 10:20 AM, PS 109.

Prerequisites:    MAC2311.  I will hand out a sample examination number 4 and a sample final examination from MAC2311.  The student should review this material to assess how prepared he/she is for MAC2312.  Three quizzes on days 2, 3, and 4 of class (see below) will be given on these sample examinations.

Objectives:       This is continuation of an introductory course to calculus.  It will cover applications of integration, techniques of integration, additional applications of integration, parametric equations and polar coordinates, and infinite sequences and series.   Examples are drawn from physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, economics, and the social sciences.  The overall objective is to motivate the student to use the power of calculus as a problem-solving tool. 

Textbook:         Calculus—Early Transcendentals, Fourth Edition, by James Stewart, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company. Bring your books to class.

Calculators:      Please spend some time learning how to use a calculator such as a TI-86. Some of the suggested homework problems may require such a calculator. Calculators such as the TI-86 will be permitted on the examinations and final but no problem will require the use of a calculator. In fact, using the calculator may slow you down. If you use a calculator, you must show all intermediate steps to receive any credit.

Attendance:      If a class is missed, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain from another student any announcements, lecture notes, handouts, and /or assignment changes.  Exams and quizzes will be returned the next class period.  If you are unable to attend that class, please see the instructor during regular office hours for your exam or quiz.  Out of respect for the classroom environment, please do not arrive late or leave early.   Students with disabilities should contact OSD for advice. 

Holidays:          No classes on May 26 and July 4. 

Homework:      The minimum recommended assignments are shown below and will be augmented from time to time. This is a minimum set of exercises and certainly not sufficient for a student to master the material.  You need to develop efficiency as well as understanding. You should attempt to complete a problem before you refer to the solutions manual. Homework will not be collected or graded.   You should not feel that it is necessary to complete totally each problem but you should work out is sufficient detail a number of problems so that you feel comfortable that you understand and have developed efficiency. 

How to Study:  You should read the material before the class lecture and work some of the problems. Be prepared to ask questions. After the lecture, review and work some additional problems. Ask questions if you feel uncomfortable with the material. Do not get behind! You should plan to spend about 3 hours for each lecture hour. Prepare for the next lecture.

Comp. Lab:      Science and Engineering Building, Room 271. You should become familiar with Scientific Notebook and with Maple, a computer algebra system.

Tutoring:           Tutors will be available in Science and Engineering 231. Times TBD.

Tests:               There will be at least 4 tests and a final examination. There are no make-up or early examinations.

Final Exam:       Monday, August 4, 2003, 9:00 – 11:30 AM.  Room SO-270.  Any student who does not take the final exam will receive an "F".

Grading:           For your "final score", each test will count 15%, and the final examination will count 40%. (If more than 4 tests are given, an adjustment will be made.) In addition, your lowest test grade will be replaced by your final exam grade in computing your "final score" if your final exam grade is higher than your lowest test grade. If your final examination grade is greater than your “final score”, your final examination grade will be used as your “final score”.  In addition, 10-minute quizzes will be given on Mondays covering the problems assigned in the syllabus.  (Additional quizzes may also be scheduled and will be announced.)   Each quiz will be worked in class and the student has the option of turning in the quiz or not.  A correct quiz counts as 10 points.  An incorrect quiz counts as –10 points.  A percentage of the total number earned on the quizzes will be determined.  This percentage times 10 will be used to adjust your “final score” up. The grading scale will be no worse than the following:

A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79; D=60-69; F=0-59

Within these ranges, grades of A-, B+, B-, C+ may be given.  Grades of C-, D+, D-, F+, and F- will not be given.   Last day to drop without an F is posted by FAU. It is the student’s responsibility to follow college regulations and to complete any required forms.   There is no “extra credit”.

Posting:            A temporary grade roster will be posted on July 30 to enable the student to check that grades have been recorded correctly.  This roster will remain posted only through July 31.  When the final examination is graded, a roster with this information will be posted.  I expect to complete grading by August 5 and will post this roster through noon on August 6.  If you want to review your final examination, please do so before noon on August 6.   Do not call or come around to review you final until you see that the grade has been posted.   All posting will use the last 4 digits of your student ID. 

Dishonesty:       Dishonesty—either giving or receiving aid on a test, quiz, or the final examination—will result in an F for the course.

Refer to the Honor Code in the Student Handbook available at http://www.fau.edu/student/dean/pdfs/studenthandbook.pdf.   Extracted from that is the following:  “FAU has an honor code requiring a faculty member, student, or staff member to notify an instructor when there is reason to believe an academic irregularity is occurring in a course. The instructor's duty is to pursue any reasonable allegation, taking action, as described …, where appropriate.“
