Berresford and Andrew M. Rockett; Brooks/Cole CENGAGE Learning.COURSE PREREQUISITESMath 0031 (College Algebra) or equivalent, Math 0100 (Preparation for Business Calculus), or an appropriate score on the mathematics placement test. COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis course is designed for students in business, economics, and other social sciences. 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 ORGANIZATIONThe course consists of lecture and recitation components. Each student must register 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. The Tuesday recitation will be a collaborative one in which students work in small diverse groups to complete worksheets. These worksheets will cover problems similar to the homework and practice problems, but in more depth. Students will also do individual homework problems. Students will assemble individually in the Thursday recitation. A homework assignment will be due and a quiz will be given in the Thursday recitation almost every week of the term.Students should read each section before the lecture on that section. LEARNING OUTCOMESStudents of this course will be able to:- Find limits of functions presented as graphs, tables, or algebraic expressions.- 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 involving powers, exponentials, and logarithms.- Find indefinite integrals of functions involving powers, exponentials, and logarithms.- 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 constrained optimization problems.Math0120Div-21212CALCULATOR POLICYA graphing calculator such as a TI-83 or above will be useful in doing many of the practice problems and visualizing solutions, but only fully written solutions showing all work will receive full credit. Because of the nature of the tested material, calculators will not be permitted on the 50-minute examinations andon the Departmental Final Examination. MAKE-UP POLICYIn general, there will be no make-up* for exams, homework, or quizzes. *The instructor will clarify this policy and any exceptions that will apply. There is no make-up for worksheets.FINAL EXAMINATION POLICYThe one-letter-grade rule applies: A student’s course grade in Math 0120 will not exceed her/his grade on the Math 0120 Departmental Final Examination by more than one letter grade.GRADING POLICYThe student’s course grade will be based solely on her/his performance on theworksheets, homework assignments, quizzes and examinations as follows: - Worksheets, Homework 13% - Quizzes 12%- Exam #1 15%- Exam #2 15%- Exam #3 15%- Departmental Final Exam 30% Worksheet, homework, 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, is encouraged to contact 140 William Pitt Union (412) 648-7890 as early in the term as possible.ACADEMIC INTEGRITYCheating/plagiarism will not be tolerated. Students suspected of violating the University of Pittsburgh Policy on Academic Integrity will incur a minimum sanction of a zero score for the quiz, exam or paper in question. Additional sanctions may be imposed, depending on the severity of the infraction. Students may work together or use library resources to do homework, but each student must write his or her own solutions independently. Copying solutions from other students will be considered cheating, and handled accordingly. CLASSROOM CONDUCTAll students are expected to report to class on time, refrain from individual conversation during class, turn cell phones and pagers off or to “vibrate”, refrain from texting in class, and show respect for fellow students and faculty.DEADLINESAdd/drop period ends: Friday, September 9.Monitored withdrawal ends: Friday, October 28.Math0120Div-21213MATH 0120 Business Calculus (Div)Class ScheduleFall Term 2011 (2121)Monday (Lecture) Tuesday (Collaborative Recitation)Wednesday (Lecture) Thursday (Recitation) Friday (Lecture) Aug. 29Sec. 1.1 Aug. 30OrientationAug. 31Sec. 1.2 Sept. 1 Sept. 2Sec. 1.3 Sept. 5Holiday Sept. 6Worksheet #1Sept. 7Sec. 1.4 Sept. 8HW, Quiz #1 Sept. 9Sec. 2.1 Sept. 12Sec. 2.2 Sept. 13Worksheet #2 Sept. 14Sec. 2.3 Sept. 15HW, Quiz #2 Sept. 16Sec. 2.4 Sept. 19Sec. 2.5 Sept. 20Worksheet #3 Sept. 21Sec. 2.6 Sept. 22HW, Quiz #3 Sept. 23Sec. 2.7 Sept. 26Review Sept. 27Worksheet #4 Sept. 28EXAM #1 Sept. 29HW, Quiz #4 Sept. 30Sec. 3.1 Oct. 3Sec. 3.2 Oct. 4Worksheet #5 Oct. 5Sec. 3.3 Oct. 6HW, Quiz #5 Oct. 7Sec. 3.4 Oct. 10Fall BreakOct. 11Sec. 3.5 Oct. 12Sec. 3.6 Oct. 13HW, Quiz #6 Oct. 14Sec. 4.1 Oct. 17Sec. 4.2Oct. 18Worksheet #6Oct. 19Sec. 4.3 Oct 20HW, Quiz #7 Oct. 21Sec. 4.4 Oct. 24Review Oct. 25Worksheet #7Oct. 26EXAM #2Oct. 27HW, Quiz #8 Oct. 28Sec. 5.1 Oct. 31Sec. 5.2 Nov. 1Worksheet #8Nov. 2Sec. 5.3 Nov. 3HW, Quiz #9 Nov. 4Sec. 5.4 Nov. 7Sec. 5.5 Nov. 8Worksheet #9Nov. 9Sec. 5.6 Nov. 10HW, Quiz #10 Nov. 11Sec. 6.1 Nov. 14Sec. 6.2 Nov. 15Worksheet # 10Nov. 16Review Nov. 17HW, Quiz #11
