Berresford and Andrew M.Rockett; Houghton Mifflin Company, 2007.COURSE PREREQUISITESMath 0031 (College Algebra) or equivalent, Math 0100 (Preparation for BusinessCalculus), or an appropriate score on the mathematics placement test. COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis course is designed for students in business, economics, and other socialsciences. It introduces the basic concept of limit and its application to continuity,differentiation, integration, maximization, minimization and partial derivatives.Applications to the social sciences, especially business and economics, are stressed.The calculus of trigonometric functions is not covered.COURSE GOALS The course will provide students with the opportunity to:- Learn the elements of business calculus in an environment that recognizesthe diverse population of the course and the University.- Explore mathematical concepts in more depth by collaboration in smalldiverse groups. - Improve communication skills by speaking and writing aboutmathematics in small groups. LEARNING OUTCOMESStudents of the course will be able to:- Find limits of functions presented as graphs, tables, or algebraicexpressions.- Use the concept of limit to define the derivative of a function.- Differentiate functions involving powers, exponentials, and logarithms. - Apply the concepts of differentiation to solve optimization problems.- Use the derivative to hand sketch the graphs of functions involvingpowers, exponentials, and logarithms.- Find indefinite integrals of functions involving powers, exponentials, andlogarithms.- Find definite integrals of appropriate functions.- Apply the definite integral to solve problems.- Find partial derivatives of functions of two variables.- Apply the method of Lagrange multipliers to solve constrainedoptimization problems.ArringtonMath0120Diverse2091COURSE ORGANIZATIONThe course consists of lecture and recitation components. Each student mustregister for a recitation that is associated with the lecture that he or she is attending.Lectures are M, W, F. Recitations are scheduled on Tu and Th of each week. TheTuesday recitation will be a collaborative one in which students work in smalldiverse groups to complete worksheets. These worksheets will cover problemssimilar to the practice problems, but in more depth. Students will assembleindividually in the Thursday recitation. A quiz will be given in the Thursdayrecitation almost every week of the term. Students should read each section beforethe lecture on that section. CALCULATOR POLICYA graphing calculator such as a TI-83 or above will be useful in doing many of thepractice problems and visualizing solutions, but only fully written solutionsshowing all work will receive full credit. Because of the nature of the testedmaterial, calculators will not be permitted on the 50-minute examinations andon the Departmental Final Examination. MAKE-UP POLICY There will be no make-up* for exams, worksheets, or quizzes. *The instructor will make arrangements with affected students when anexamination or quiz is scheduled on a religious holiday or a date on which thestudent must represent the University. There is no make-up for worksheets.FINAL EXAMINATION POLICYThe one-letter-grade rule applies: A student’s course grade in Math 0120 will notexceed her/his grade on the Math 0120 Departmental Final Examination by morethan one letter grade.GRADING POLICY The student’s course grade will be based solely on her/his performance on theworksheets, the quizzes and examinations as follows: - Worksheets 10%- Quizzes 15%- Exam #1 15%- Exam #2 15%- Exam #3 15%- Departmental Final Exam 30% Worksheet and quiz grades will be based on the best 10 scores.STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESA student with a disability for which he or she is requesting an accommodation,should contact both the instructor and the Office of Disability Resources andServices, 216 William Pitt Union (412) 648-7890 as early in the term as possible.ACADEMIC INTEGRITYCheating/plagiarism will not be tolerated. Students suspected of violating theUniversity of Pittsburgh Policy on Academic Integrity will incur a minimumsanction of a zero score for the quiz, exam or paper in question. Additionalsanctions may be imposed, depending on the severity of the infraction. Students maywork together or use library resources to do homework, but each student must write his orher own solutions independently. Copying solutions from other students will be consideredcheating, and handled accordingly. CLASSROOM CONDUCTAll students are expected to report to class on time, refrain from individualconversation during class, turn cell phones and pagers off or to “vibrate”, and showrespect for fellow students and faculty.DEADLINES Add/drop: Friday, September 5.
