Syllabus Math 124, Calculus with Analytic Geometry I, is the first part of the Calculus sequence.
- Prerequisite
- Basically you should be familiar with materials from a pre-calculus class (for example, Math 120). In particular, you should know the definition of functions, some basics about trigonometry, etc. But don't worry, we'll cover some of those things, either in the lectures or in the quiz-sections.

- Textbooks
- The textbook is Calculus, by Stewart, Vol.1.
- Homeworks
- Homeworks are collected on Mondays (except for the first day of class, of course). Doing the homework - making your hands dirty with computations - is as important as attending lectures.
- Quizzes
- There will be a quiz every Thursday of 8-10 minutes each.
- Worksheets
- There will be a worksheet every Tuesday. You should print the worksheet and bring it with you to the quiz section. See Calendar for details.
- Exams
- There will be a midterm and a final exam. For both exams, you can bring a scientific calculator, but NOT a graphic one. An one-sided handwritten A-4 sheet of notes is also allowed. And remember to bring your student ID.
There are NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. If you have a compelling, unavoidable, and well- documented reason for missing a test, you should speak with the instructor as soon as possible.
The midterm will be on Tuesday, July 21st, in the quiz section.
The final have two parts: the first part will be on Thursday, August 20th, in the quiz section; the second part will be on Friday, August 21st, in the lecture.
- Grades
- The final grade will be based on worksheets, homeworks, quizzes and exams, in the following proportion:
Worksheets 5% Homeworks 15% Quizzes 15% Midterm 25% Final 40%
