OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course,
students should:
·
Have a better overall
understanding of functions and their graphical, numerical, analytical, and
verbal representations
·
Be able to mechanically
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
·
Have improved skills at
problem solving and critical thinking
·
Have improved skills at
writing and explaining math
QUIZZES:
There will be a weekly online quiz, (available from Thursday at noon until
Sunday at midnight) based on the homework assignments at the end of each
section in the lecture notes. Or, if you do not like taking the quiz, you could
turn in the assignment (the ODD numbers only) by the FOLLOWING
Tuesday. Some people actually do both to improve their quiz grade. You can turn
your homework in person (drop off at my office), by email, fax or regular mail.
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.shtml

Use the
lecture notes provided and the textbook to study the material following the schedule
below. Each section contains a homework assignment. You DO NOT have to turn in these assignments, but I highly recommend
that you work every problem since the weekly quizzes are based on them. You
will be able to take the quiz only once, starting on Thursday through the
Sunday of each week.
NOTES: 1.You
might want to review Chapter 0, especially if it has been a while since your
last Math class.
2. To fit more information on the
computer screen try increasing the resolution (for ex. 1024 x 768, or above)
3. To print the Lecture Notes use the
