• Prerequisites: Prerequisite: either 2.0 in MATH 124, 2.0 in MATH 127, score of 3 on AB advanced placement test, or score of 3 on BC advanced placement test.

• Text: "Calculus" Fourth Edition by James Stewart. The book will form an integral part of the course. You should be sure to read the relevant sections of the book before each lecture and work through the problems in the text. This will be very helpful in getting the most benefit from the lectures.

  Note: You can not use the "Early Transcendentals" version of the Stewart text for Math 125 in Autumn 2000. You may use the "Single Variable" version of this text however if you continue on to Math 126 you will need the full version (or the "Multivariable" version in addition to the"Single Variable" version ).

• Grading: Your final grade will be based on your total score for the course, which is computed as follows:
  • Midterm 1 = 50 points
  • Midterm 2 = 50 points
  • Quizzes = 80 points
  • Homework = 20 points
  • Final Exam = 100 points
  Note: that the total points you can receive is 300.

• Homework: You will notice that homework is not a large part of your grade. However, it is very important to do all the homework in order to learn the material. This will have a direct affect on your performance on the weekly quizzes, which do count for a lot and will be similar to the homework. Homework will be collected in section each Tuesday. Due to budget limitations the homework graders do not correct all the problems. They will correct only 2 or 3 problems and check whether you have done all of the problems. Your HW score will be based on both of these. It is important to keep up with the homework. Late homework will NOT be accepted. The homework will play a key role in your learning the material.

  The best way to be sure you get the most out of your homework is to work with others. I strongly urge you to form a study group and work collaboratively on the homework problems. This way you'll learn more, and you'll maximize your chances of getting all the problems correct. The only limitation on collaboration is that, after you and your study group have worked out how to do the problems, you must each write up your own solutions in your own words.

• Quizzes: There will be a weekly quiz, given on Tuesdays in your sections. The material on the quizzes will be similar to the homework that is due that day. The first of these quizzes will be given on Tuesday, October 3. Make-up quizzes will not be given, but the lowest quiz score will be dropped (to account for a bad week or emergency absence) and your quiz total will be based on the remaining scores. No notes or calculators are allowed on the quizzes.

• Midterms: Midterms will be held in class on Friday, October 20 and Friday, November 17. If for any reason you cannot attend a midterm, you must let me know at least 2 weeks in advance. If you have a valid academic excuse for missing the exam we will arrange a time for you to take the exam before the rest of the class takes it. To be fair to all, a midterm cannot be taken late. Make-up midterms will not be given.

  No calculators are allowed for the midterms and final. You are allowed to bring one 8.5 x 11 handwritted sheet of notes.

  If you find there was a mistake on the grading on a midterm (e.g. the points were not summed correctly) you should contact me with your exam and a written statement as to what your believe the mistake is. This must be done as soon as possible after the exam is returned to you and in any case no later than the Friday after the exam.

• Final Exam: All sections of Math 125 will have a common final exam. This exam will be given on Saturday, December 9 from 1:30 - 4:20 PM. The final exam is comprehensive and covers all of the material in the course notes.

  If you cannot take the exam on that day for religious reasons or because of a conflict with another final exam, you will have to petition the Math Advising Office in Padelford C-36. Please bring a picture ID with you to the final exam. Further information about the final exam will be provided as the quarter progresses.

• Incompletes: A grade of Incomplete will be given only if a student is doing satisfactory work up until the end of the quarter, and then misses the final exam due to a documented medical or family emergency.

• Overloads: The only way to enroll in this class is through STAR. I do not hand out entry codes and do not sign overloads. Please see the Mathematics Student Services Office: Padelford C-36 (543-6830) if you have any questions.

• Important Dates:
  • Holidays: Veterans Day (November 10) and Thanksgiving (November 23-24).
  • Midterm Exams: Friday, October 20 and Friday, November 17 (both in class).
  • Final Exam: Saturday, December 9 from 1:30 - 4:20 PM.

• Mathematics Study Center: The MSC will be providing services for students in Math 126. The MSC is located in B14 Communications, directly below A&S advising. It is a valuable resource which you should definitely take advantage of. For more information see:
  

  Math Study Center information

  The MSC is not a tutoring center in the traditional sense. The MSC provides a comfortable place for students to come together and study, in groups or individually. There are a number of tutors (graduate student TA's, advanced undergraduates and faculty) on staff who will sit down with students to help them get unstuck or to answer questions. The MSC does not provide long blocks of uninterrupted one-on-one tutoring. Textbooks, calculators and other study materials are available to be checked out for in-room use.
