This course is an introduction to integral calculus: antiderivatives, the Riemann integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration, applications of integration, and a first glimpse of differential equations. Students are expected to be comfortable with derivatives and familiar with limits.
The class meets five times a week: Monday through Thursday will be lectures, while Friday will be a quiz day, run by the TA.
Homework will be due (almost) every week on Fridays, including the first week. Assignments will be posted online. I will drop your lowest homework grade at the end of the term.
20-minute quizzes will be given on Fridays at the end of the hour, except in exam weeks. These quizzes will be closed-book and closed-notes. I will drop your lowest quiz grade at the end of the term.
Here is a tentative schedule of topics to be covered in lecture. Numbers refer to sections in the textbook, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Fifth Edition, by Stewart. If you already have a fourth-edition book you can still use it, but the homework problems have changed slightly. You can find all of the fifth-edition problems here.
Occasionally in lecture we will do worksheets in small groups. We will skip most of the worksheets, however. If you would like to run through them for extra practice, they are available in the course packet on sale at the University Book Store, and they can also be found online at the Math 125 Materials Website, along with sample quizzes and exams.
You will need a scientific calculator for this class; however, graphing and programmable calculators are not allowed.
There will be one midterm exam, and a cumulative final exam; all exams will be held during normal class times. The midterm will be held on Thursday, July 22.
The final will be given on August 19 and 20; the first day will cover techniques of integration, while the second day will cover applications of integration. All exams will be closed-book, although you will be allowed to bring a reasonably-sized sheet of notes.
Your grade will be broken down as follows:
There is a class message board here. Post questions if you have them; answer other people's if you can. I will read and respond to your messages, but I'd prefer you to work things out amongst yourselves.
