Algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmicfunctions will be studied. Problems are approached from a variety of perspectives, includinggraphical, numerical, verbal, and algebraic. Computer software will be used extensively in classto gain a greater understanding of concepts as well as to consider non-routine problems.PREREQUISITES : A grade of C or higher in MATH 153 (Precalculus Mathematics) orequivalent.CREDITS : 4 CLASS HOURS : 4REQUIRED MATERIALS: 1. Textbook: Stewart, James, Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 3rd edition, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company, 2004. (This comes with free tutorials and CDs)2. Math Faculty, MATH 171 Supplement and Homework Assignments, available at the College Bookstore only.RECOMMENDED MATERIALS: 1. Graphing Calculator – If you are purchasing a new calculator, the TI-83 will be sufficient,but the TI-89 has more advanced capabilities. If you are considering buying either of these, talk to your instructor first.2. Computer software (Windows versions) – available at the College Bookstore or through company websites:Derive – http://education.ti.com/us/product/software/derive/features/features.htmlConverge - http://www.convergesoftware.com/Note: In compliance with copyright law, the Mathematics Department cannot give students copies of software. Unauthorized copying and /or distributing of software ownedby Brookdale Community College are illegal.3. Free graphing software – Winplot – is available for download at http://math.exeter.edu/rparris/winplot.html . It is highly recommended.4.

Burton, Robert and Garity, Dennis, Study Guide, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company, 2004ADDITIONAL TIME REQUIREMENTS: There are group projects during the course. You will need to allow some on-campus time during each project to meet with your group. Other Time Commitments: - In addition to the regular class hours, you will need to set aside time each week for homework. The weekly time will vary by topic and level of difficulty, but as an estimate, youshould expect two homework hours for each class hour. For example, if your class meets for four hours per week, you should expect to spend about eight hours per week on homework. - You may need to allow time on campus to do homework problems that require the use of computer software.- If you are having any difficulty with the course material, you may need to allow time to see your instructor during office hours or to get help in the Math Lab.INTENDED COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES/COURSE GOALS (CORE COMPETENCIES): Course Goals: After completing this course, you will be able to:1. Demonstrate the algebraic and calculus skills appropriate to this course. (Mathematical/Scientific Reasoning Core Competency)2. Understand and explain the concepts of limit, continuity, the derivative, and the definite integral. (Mathematical/Scientific Reasoning Core Competency) 3. Use calculus to solve application problems. (Mathematical/Scientific Reasoning Core Competency, Critical Thinking Core Competency)4. Explain the analysis and solution of application problems. (Mathematical/Scientific Reasoning Core Competency, Critical Thinking Core Competency)5. Use computer software to understand concepts and to explore and solve problems. (Mathematical/Scientific Reasoning Core Competency, Technological Literacy Core Competency)Note: The detailed outcomes for each unit of the course are on pages 6, 7, and 8. GRADING STANDARD: In this course, you will be evaluated by means of tests, projects, quizzes, and possibly homework. A. TESTSThere will be three tests, one after each unit, graded on the basis of 100 points. All tests will be cumulative. Each test is made up of two parts: one part utilizing computer software and the graphing calculator and a second part without technology. All supporting work must be shown ontests in order for your instructor to properly assess your understanding of the material. The tests will be given in class and it is expected that you will be in class to take the test on the day it is given. If you are very ill (verifiable with a doctor’s note) or you have some other emergency, youmust contact your instructor immediately. The test is designed to be completed within two hours. There is a three hour maximum time limit for all calculus tests.2B. QUIZZES/HOMEWORKThere are periodic quizzes in the course and your instructor may also choose to use homework orother assignments for evaluation. C. PROJECTSThere will be three projects for the course, one per unit, to be done in groups outside of class. In the projects, you will apply the concepts and skills learned in class to problem situations, present the mathematics, write careful explanations, and interpret your results. Specific guidelines for theprojects will be handed out with Project 1. The final copy of each project will be kept by your instructor.GRADINGEach test is cumulative and is graded on the basis of 100 points. There are no grade curves applied in this course. The projects are averaged to form your “project grade”, and the quizzes are averaged to form your “quiz grade.” Your final course average is determined by a weighted average as follows:Test 1 25%Test 2 30%Test 3 25%Project Grade 10%Quiz Grade 10%FINAL GRADEYour final grade is determined by your final course average, as computed above, using only five items (3 tests, project grade, and quiz grade). There are no extra-credit options (e.g. research papers, special projects, essays, etc.) available for this course. Your final grade is determined as follows:If your final courseaverage isyour final grade is90 – 100 A87 – 89 B+80 – 86 B77 – 79 C+70 – 76 C60 – 69 D**Below 60 F** To use this
