At the conclusion of this course, students should be able to:I. Apply techniques of integration to a variety of applications, including engineering applicationsII. Understand and explain convergence of sequences and infinite seriesIII. Apply power series to a variety of applications, including engineering applicationsIV. Understand and apply vector operations in 3-dimensions, including dot and cross productV. Use Computer Algebra Systems such as Matlab to solve non-routine problemsGrading Policy:3 exams = 500 points A = 900-1000Computer Labs = 100 points B = 800-899Quizzes = 100 points C = 700-799Online HW = 50 points D = 600-699Final = 250 points F = 0-599Total = 1000 points Attendance: Attendance of both lectures and labs is important. If you must miss class or lab on days something is to be turned in, please contact me or your TA as soon as you know. I suggest you find a study partner or two to get notes on days you have to miss. Completed notes will be posted on my web page IF you do not use these as a substitute to attending class. Make-up Policy: If you miss an exam, you must contact me within 48 hours. Exams must be made up within 30 calendar days and require appropriate documentation of a university-excused absence. Make-up policy for lab assignments and quizzes are discussed below. Scholastic Dishonesty: Remember the Aggie Code of Honor: An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do! There will be many opportunities (homework and computer labs) for you to work together in an appropriate manner. However, each student (or group in computer lab) is responsible for turning in their own unique work. During exams and quizzes, you are not allowed to receive any kind of assistance from anyone. Any instance of scholastic dishonesty will be handled according to the processes outlined on the Honor Code website at http://aggiehonor.tamu.edu/Processes/reportingandadjudication.html. Expectations: I expect you to have read the material and stepped through the examples before class, and I expect you to treat me with respect. You can expect me to be prompt and consistent in grading and treat you with respect.Weekly Schedule: The (tentative) weekly schedule is posted on the MATH 152 course homepage at http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/math152/currentsched.html Exams: Dates for the exams are Thursday 30 Sep, Thursday 28 Oct, and Tuesday 30 Nov 7:30-9:30pm in a location to be announced. Content of the exams is available at the weekly schedule linked above.Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given in HELD 105 on Monday 13 Dec 10:30am-12:30pm. See http://admissions.tamu.edu/Registrar/General/FinalSchedule.aspx#_Fall_2010 for full Final Exam scheduleHomework: Suggested homework is posted on the MATH 152 course homepage. These problems are for practice and will not be handed in; however, quiz and exam questions may be similar to suggested homework problems. (NOTE: If you purchase a student solution manual, it is recommended that you do not open it until AFTER you have attempted the question on your own!)In addition, there will be online homework assignments due every Monday (starting 6 Sept) at 11:55:00pm (NO late submissions accepted!). You either purchased a Lifetime access code previously (meaning you may continue to use WebAssign with this text at no additional charge), or you need to purchase a code (Lifetime or Semester) online. The URL for online homework is http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/eHomework/. Only thehighest 15 homework section grades will be counted (5% of the total grade) (NOTE: during exam weeks, online homework will be combined to make one “take-home quiz” and will be due two days before the exam)Quizzes: To determine how well you are learning the material throughout the semester, you will take quizzes inTuesday's recitations (every week except exam weeks). Quizzes will cover material through the previous Wednesday's lecture. Only the highest 10 quiz grades will be counted; therefore, missed quizzes may not be made up for any reason. During exam weeks, the online homework sections assigned will be graded as ONE “take-home” quiz grade. Deadlines for these will be two days before the exam by 11:55:00pm.Matlabs: On Thursdays you will have weekly computer assignments using MATLAB (except for exam weeks). Matlab assignments are posted on the MATH 152 course homepage and are due at the BEGINNING of lab on Thursday of the deadline week. The first lab assignment will be submitted individually; thereafter, labs will be done in teams and each team will turn in ONE lab report. Only the highest 10 Matlab assignments will be counted, so missed labs may not be made up. Labs turned in between 5 minutes and 48 hours after the official start of lab will receive a 30% late penalty; labs will not be accepted more than 48 hours late for any reason.Maplets: While not graded, there are some very useful Java Applets written in MAPLE which help illustrate and/or drill the concepts of this course. These are located at http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/maple/maplets/ . Note that you must be using a machine with Maple installed, such as those in the Calclabs or Open Access Labs.Disabilities: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that providescomprehensive
