OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course,
students should:
·
Have a better overall
understanding of functions and their graphical, numerical, analytical, and
verbal representations
·

calculate derivatives of simple functions and combinations of functions
·
Understand definite
integrals as areas
·
Understanding the
relationship between derivatives and integrals
·
Use technology
appropriately to gain insight into the solution of a problem
·
Be able to see functions
in real-world applications and to develop models in this context understand
derivatives as rates of change and in the context of local linearity

QUIZZES:
There will be a weekly on-line quiz, based on the homework assignments at the
end of each section in the lecture notes. Or, if you do not like the quiz, you
could turn in the assignment by the following Monday. Some people actually do
both to improve their quiz grade.
EXAMS: There
will be three one-hour exams and a two-hour comprehensive final. All exams are proctored. If you live in the area, you
will most likely take the tests at IPFW. Please get familiar with the Testing
Services procedures at http://www.ipfw.edu/dlearning/testing.htm
