Textbook

Calculus, Early Transcendentals (6th edition), by James Stewart (2008)
ISBN 0-495-01166-5 (old edition, less expensive than current one)

Course objective 

This is the second course of a two-semester sequence covering all major Calculus content. The main goals of this course are to

Preparation, Homework, Quizzes and Exams

This is a fast paced course. You are required to read the sections covered each week during the weekend before and begin to familiarize yourself with the posted problems. Selected problems will then be worked out in the recitation sections. In addition, you may consult the solutions key at the end of the book to check your answers. At the end of each week, you are responsible for knowing how to solve all posted homework problems! On most Fridays, the material of the week will be tested with an 18-minute quiz. Groups of two chapters usually make up the material for each in-class exam. The final exam is comprehensive, with a slight emphasis of the material of the last two weeks.

Grading

Your total score is composed of exam and quiz scores

 2 x 200 pt. exams  400 points 
 10 x 30 pt. quizzes  270 (drop lowest score)
 Final exam  330

 TOTAL

  1000 points 

Final grades will be based on the total of 1000 points. You are guaranteed a grade based on the standard scale, that is:  A >=9O% > B >=8O% > C >= 7O% > D >= 6O% > F. However, I will adjust the scale downward in case the distribution of scores indicates that I should.
