Course Description: Math 171 is the first of a three semester beginning calculus sequence, which is taken, for the most part, by math, chemistry, and physics majors. The department expects that students passing Math 171 be able to follow mathematical proofs and handle routine computations, i.e., limits, derivatives, max-min problems, and calculation of definite integrals using the fundamental theorem of calculus. We expect students to be able to state (write) and apply basic definitions and major theorems. These include, but are not limited to, definitions of limit, continuous function, derivative, definite and indefinite integrals, the intermediate value theorem for continuous functions, the mean value theorem, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Students are also expected to be able supply simple proofs, e.g., some of the limit theorems, some of the rules of differentiation, and applications of the intermediate and mean value theorems. The list is of course endless, but keep in mind the phrase `simple proofs'. Students should become familiar with the standard notations of logic, set theory, and functions.

Grading.Your grade will be based on weekly quizzes, which are based on the homework and will be given on Fridays, two tests which will be given out side of class and a final exam. The quizzes will count for 25%, each test for 25% and the final for 25%. Your letter grade will be assigned this way: 90-100%, A; 80-89%, B; 70-79%, C; 60-69%, D; 59% or less, F.

Schedule of Tests and Finals:
Exam 1: Tuesday, October 3, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Room: BLOC 220
Exam 2: Tuesday, November 7, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Room: BLOC 220
Final: Monday, December 11, 10:30 - 12:30 PM (in usual class room BLOC 164

Make-up policy: Make-ups for missed quizzes and exams will only be allowed for a university approved excuse in writing. Wherever possible, students should inform the instructor before an exam or quiz is missed. Consistent with University Student Rules, students are required to notify an instructor by the end of the next working day after missing an exam or quiz. Otherwise, they forfeit their rights to a make-up.

Scholastic dishonesty: Copying work done by others, either in-class or out of class, is an act of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent allowed by University policy. Collaboration on assignments, either in-class or out-of-class, is forbidden unless permission to do so is granted by your instructor. For more information on university policies regarding scholastic dishonesty, see University Student Rules.

Copyright policy: All printed materials disseminated in class or on the web are protected by Copyright laws. One xerox copy (or download from the web) is allowed for personal use. Multiple copies or sale of any of these materials is strictly prohibited.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Policy Statement. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact Disability Services, in Cain Hall, Room B118, or call 845-1637.
