MATH 151, Engineering Math IFall 2014 Sec. 573–575 MW 4:10 - 5:25 PM, Room: BLOC 166Instructor: Sang Rae Lee, Office BLOC 510Jwebpage: https://www.math.tamu.edu/ srleeOffice Hours: M 3:00-4:00, WF 10:00-11:00 and by appointment.E-mail Address: [email protected] Assistant: Mahmood Ettehad ([email protected])Course Description: Rectangular coordinates, vectors, analytic geometry, functions, lim-its, derivatives of functions, applications, integration, computer algebra. MATH 171 designedto be a more demanding version of this course.Prerequisite: MATH 150or an acceptable score on TAMU Math Placement Exam.Calculator Policy: Calculators will NOT be allowed on quizzes or exams, but will beallowed on online homework.Course Objectives: Students in this course students will be provided with quantitative andproblem-solving skills of 2-dimensional vectors and differential calculus. At the conclusionof this course, students should be able to:• Know and use techniques of limits and differentiation.• Apply techniques of differentiation to a variety of applications, including engineeringapplications.• Understand and apply vector operations in 2-dimensions, including dot product.• Understand the relationship between derivatives and integrals via the FundamentalTheorem of Calculus.• Use Computer Algebra Systems such as Matlab to solve applied problems.Matlab: Students will attend Matlab. During the first 15-20 minutes of Matlab, studentswill have a quiz on the previous activity. Notes and calculators are not permitted on thequizzes. This will encourage students to actively participate on the activity and learn thematerial before the following Matlab. After the quiz, students can work on the assignedMatlab or ask the TA questions over homework. Visit the link below for Matlab assignments.http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/math151/matlabsched.htmlWebAssign: Online homework (WebAssign) is required in all math 151 classes. For eachhomework, a practice will be available. Students are highly encouraged to work the (non1graded) practice homework before working the associated graded homework. Homeworkwill be due on Thursdays. No late homework will be accepted. Do not wait until lastminute to complete the online homework! All information on WebAssign can be found here:http://www.math.tamu/eHomeworkText Book: All Math 151 classes use the same book: Stewarts Calculus: Early Vectors.You have already purchased an electronic book (eBook) through course fees. Buying a papercopy is optional. Buying the solutions manual is optional, but maybe useful in order to viewdetailed solutions of the odd numbered suggested homework problems. The computer labo-ratory will use Matlab; An Introduction with Applications, 4th edition by Wiley (possibly5th edition).Common Exams: Engineering Calculus I and II use Common Exams in order to establishconsistency among sections. These common exams are administered in the evening (scheduleattached). If you have a class conflict with these exams, you must provide documentationand arrangements will be made for you.Recitation: Students will attend recitation. During this time, weekly activities will beassigned. Students will work in pairs during recitation, and they will complete the activity,with the supervision/help of the TA. Notes are allowed during each activity, but calculatorsare not permitted. At the end of the 50 minutes, students will turn this in for a weeklygraded assignment.Grading Policies: The course grading will be based on the results of 3 Exams, 1 FinalExam as well as Quiz, WebAssign and lab activity. With the total 1000 points,Exam I, II, and III = 500Final = 250Quiz = 50WebAssign=100Lab = 100A = 900-1000, B = 800-899, C = 700-799, D = 600-699, F = 0-599Attendance: Attendance of both lectures and labs is important. If you must miss class orlab on days something is to be turned in, please contact me or your TA as soon as you know.If you don’t attend classes well, you can not excuse anything at the end of semester.Make-up Policy: Make-up exams will be only allowed due to excused absences and thetimeline must be discussed with the instructor, following Student Rules. If you foresee theneed to be absent during an exam, you mustnotify the instructor in advance.2Scholastic Dishonesty: Remember the Aggie Code of Honor:AnAggiedoesnotlie, cheat, orsteal, ortoleratethosewhodo!There will be many opportunities (homework and computer labs) for you to work togetherin an appropriate manner. However, each student (or group in computer lab) is respon-sible for turning in their own unique work. During exams and quizzes, you are not al-lowed to receive any kind of assistance from anyone. Any instance of scholastic dishon-esty will be handled according to the processes outlined on the Honor Code website athttp://aggiehonor.tamu.edu/Faculty/WhatToDo.aspx.Expectations: I expect you to have read the material and stepped through the examplesbefore class, and I expect you to treat me with respect. You can expect me to be promptand consistent in grading and treat you with respect.Webpage for Math 151: http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/math151/ You can find allinformation you need for the course including weekly schedule, exam dates, WebAssign etc.Sources of Help:1. Week-in-Review: A Week-in-Review is offered in each week that covers concepts taughtduring previous the week. The dates and times will be posted on the course webpage.2. Help Sessions: Help sessions are an opportunity for you to ask questions and get helpwith your homework. The dates and times will be posted on the course webpage.Disabilities: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discriminationstatute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities.Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guar-anteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their dis-abilities.
