Course Objectives: Explore in depth
derivatives and integrals, the fundamental concepts of calculus, and understand
how they relate to each other. Understand the motivation, techniques and basic
results of introductory real analysis. Appreciate the use of abstract
mathematics in the development of important techniques in applications, such as
wavelets. Extend the ideas of calculus to a wider range of functions.
Attendance Policy: Regular attendance is
expected. You are responsible for everything done in class, through your
attendance and sharing class notes with classmates. If you miss class, you are
likely to miss important information that will affect your grade. At times,
this course may be frustrating and confusing, but the process of helping each
other overcome the momentary difficulties can make the course very rewarding.
Part of attending class should be an after-class follow-up session of compiling
new definitions, theorems and canonical examples.
Equipment: We will use calculators
occasionally. We will use our brains extensively.
Academic Integrity: The college policy is
fully supported. Tests are closed notes, closed book. Homework assignments may
be discussed in class, and you are always encouraged to ask me for help.
Otherwise, homework is to be your own work.
Study Problems: Problems will be assigned
at the end of each section of the book. You are expected to attempt every
problem before the next class and ask questions in office hours about those you
do not understand. Study problems will indicate what you are responsible for on
tests.
Daily Problems: At the end of most
classes, you will be given a problem to be handed in the next class period. On
these problems, you may trade ideas but not details. The write-up is to be your
own work. These problems will be graded on a five-point scale.
Homework Problems: Homework problems to be
turned in will be assigned throughout the term. You are to write these problems
up as if you were preparing lecture notes for class. The grading will be more
rigorous than on daily problems.
Tests: There will be two tests
and a final exam. Anticipated test dates are (F) 2/20 and (F) 4/2. The exam is Friday,
April 23,
Make-ups: In case of sickness or
scheduling conflicts, get in touch with me ASAP.
Grading: Two daily grades will be
dropped, the remainder will count one test grade. One homework grade will be
dropped, the remainder will count one test grade. The final exam counts one
test grade. Grades may be curved up based on consideration of one unusually low
test score or other extenuating circumstance.
