Textbook

Calculus, 10th Edition, by Salas, Hille and Etgen. We will cover the first ten chapters in Math 134. We will continue using this book in Math 135 and Math 136.

Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments and quizzes. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%, the homework assignments are 10% and quizzes are 10% of your total grade. Late homework is not accepted and there are no quiz make ups. I will drop your lowest homework and quiz grade at the end of the quarter.

Week at a glance

Lectures are on MTuWF. You can follow my weekly schedule below. If you miss a lecture, it is your responsibility to get notes from a classmate and make up for the material. Although I will mostly follow the textbook, I will occasionally do a more detailed presentation in lecture. Thursday quiz sections are for discussing problems with your TA. You should go to quiz sections prepared to ask and answer questions. There will be quizzes on most Thursdays. I will announce the quiz topic in lecture on Wednesdays if you remind me. The homework assignments are due on Mondays at the beginning of class. This is a difficult and fast paced class. You have to work hard to keep up. I expect you to read the relative sections of the book before and/or after lectures.

Calculator policy

Calculators are not allowed on quizzes or exams.
