Math 152 Engineering Mathematics IIHonors Sections 201–202Fall 2004The courseThis course is the second part of the three-course Engineering Mathemat-ics sequence (consisting of Math 151, Math 152, Math 251 or 253). Thecourse covers techniques of integration (such as substitutions and integrationby parts), applications of integration (such as area, volume, arc length, cen-ter of mass, first-order differential equations), infinite sequences and series(including power series), and three-dimensional analytic geometry (dot andcross products, equations of lines and planes).The honors sections cover the same material as the regular sections ofMath 152 but strive for a deeper understanding of the material and examinemore interesting problems and applications.Textbook The required textbook is Calculus: Early Vectors by James Stew-art, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company, 1999, ISBN 0-534-49348-3. Thecourse covers (parts of) Chapters 6–11.The required computer laboratory manual is CalcLabs with Maple byPhilip B. Yasskin et al., Brooks/Cole, 2003, ISBN 0-534-39370-5.Prerequisites “Math 151 or equivalent” is the official prerequisite for thiscourse. Good performance in a high-school calculus course satisfies the“equivalent” clause.Venue The course meets daily, but in several different rooms, as follows:Section 201 Section 202MWF 1:50–2:40 p.m., BLOC 114 1:50–2:40 p.m., BLOC 114Tuesday 8:00–8:50 a.m., BLOC 130 3:55–4:45 p.m., BLOC 127Thursday 8:00–8:50 a.m., ZACH 128A 3:55–4:45 p.m., ZACH 322The meetings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are with the in-structor (Harold P. Boas), and the meetings on Tuesday and Thursdayare laboratory/recitation sessions with the teaching assistant (SamangiMunasinghe).Web site The main web site for Math 152 is http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/docs/math152/. There is a separate (regularly updated) website specifically for sections 201–202 at http://www.math.tamu.edu/~harold.boas/courses/152-2004c/.August 30, 2004 Page 1 of 3 Dr. BoasMath 152 Engineering Mathematics IIHonors Sections 201–202Fall 2004The instructorThe instructor is Dr. Harold P. Boas. Office hours are in 202 Milner Hall,9:00–10:00 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; also by appointment.The office telephone number is (979) 845-7269, and the email address [email protected] regular sections of Math 152 have common exams in the evening. Honorssections 201–202 will not participate in the common exams but instead willhave exams during the regular class period, 1:50–2:40 p.m., in BLOC 114,on Wednesday 29 September and Wednesday 3 November. Each of these twoexams counts for 25% of the course grade.The cumulative final examination, scheduled by the Registrar for 3:30–5:30 p.m. on Tuesday 14 December in BLOC 114, counts for 25% of thecourse grade. The remaining 25% of the course grade will be based on labo-ratory/recitation activities: quizzes, projects, etc.Maple AvailabilityYou have access to the computer mathematics system Maple both in theMathematics Department CalcLabs and in the University Open Access Labs.If you want to buy a personal copy of Maple for your own PC, you will wantto know about the special offer for students enrolled in TAMU classes thatrequire Maple. You can buy a copy of Maple 9.5 for $75 by following theinstructions at http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/maple/adoption/. (Theprice at the campus bookstore is $140.)Academic Integrity StatementThe university is a community of scholars, and intellectual honesty is thefundamental tenet of that community. The Aggie Honor Code states: “AnAggie does not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do.” Consult the website of the Aggie Honor System Office (AHSO) at http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/ for further information.August 30, 2004 Page 2 of 3 Dr. BoasMath 152 Engineering Mathematics IIHonors Sections 201–202Fall 2004Help• Starting the second week of classes, there will be CalcLab Open Hours(for help with the computer mathematics system Maple) in BLOC 127.The schedule is available online at http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/~belmonte/calclab/calclabhelp.html.• Starting the second week of classes, there will be a drop-in help ses-sion (for all sections of Math 152 combined). The schedule is avail-able online at http://www.math.tamu.edu/teaching/helpsession/helpsessions.html.• Starting the second week of classes, there will be “Week In Review”lectures (for all sections of Math 152 combined).
