Text: Calculus Concepts 4th Edition By: Latorre, Kenelly, Reed, Carpenter, Harris, and Biggers See me in my office during the 1st week of class or so to borrow a copy of this text for the semester.

Materials: TI-83 (or 84) graphing calculator is required and you are expected to know the basics about it – specifically, you should be able to find regression equations for a given data set. We will briefly review this, but if you are not comfortable/familiar with this process, we should talk soon.

Attendance: Attendance will be taken each day. You are expected to be in class every day. We will be covering quite a bit of material each day, and it will not be easy to keep up if you miss often.

Homework: There will be homework assigned from each section. These problems are designed to help you master the skills and concepts of the section. These problems will not be collected, however I strongly encourage you to look at and attempt all of them. We will spend some time at the beginning of each class going over homework questions, however, if you have a lot of questions or are very confused with a particular section, it would be best to see me in my office or to make use of the Mathematics Tutoring Lab in the Learning Commons (CLC 419).

Tests: There will be a total of 6 tests throughout the semester. In general, these tests cannot be rescheduled or made up. The date for each of these tests is on the schedule on the last page.

Exams: There will be a comprehensive final exam at the semester’s end. The exam is scheduled for Tuesday, May 1, from 1:00 to 2:50. Grades: Scale: A = 94 – 100 C = 74 – 77 Based On: Test Average = 70% A- = 91 – 93 C- = 70 – 73 Final Exam = 30% B+ = 88 – 90 D+ = 68 – 69 B = 84 – 87 D = 64 – 67 B- = 81 – 83 D- = 60 – 63 C+ = 78 – 80 F = below 60

Goals of the Course We will review the ideas of modeling and rates of change (i.e. derivatives) from Math 150 briefly. We will then expand our modeling and derivative ideas to include some trigonometric functions – specifically the sine and cosine functions.

We will investigate functions of multiple variables. In this we will look at contour maps (both creating and reading), partial derivatives, and optimization of 3-dimensional functions both with and without constraints.
