homework problems, common
exam room assignments, past
Math 151 exams, weekly
review session schedule, Week in
Review and other information.
Credit 4. This course will cover vectors in two dimensions,
differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, and
applications such as work, velocity/acceleration, optimization
(max/min), and curve sketching. The course meets twice per week in
lecture and twice per week in recitation. One of your recitation
meetings is designed to discuss questions over homework or lecture. The
other recitation meets in the computer laboratory where the computer
package Maple will be introduced. The goal of the laboratory portion of
the course is to show how problems that are too difficult to solve
hand, can be solved with the help of the computer. The prerequisite for
this course is either Math 150 (precalculus) or a good high school
mathematics background that includes algebra II, analytic geometry and
trigonometry.
Calculus: Early Vectors, by
Stewart et all, published by Brooks/Cole. The
computer laboratory will also use Calclabs
with Maple, also published by Brooks/Cole.
You will have homework this semester using the CengageNOW online homework system. The first homework available now and it is due on Sunday, January 27 at 11:55 PM. You can find directions for the homeworks on /~epstein/eHW.
Your grade will be determined by three exams, a cumulative
final exam, and a laboratory grades. The weights of each of these are
as
follows.

You must bring either your student ID or your driver's license to each of the above exams.
There will be no extra credit under any circumstances. Exams I, II and III are common exams (same exam is given for all
sections of Math 151) and are administered in the evenings from
7:30-9:30 PM. The increased weights of the third and final exams reflect
the cumulative nature of the course.
I may curve any grade and will then compute the course grade by the
following rule: A for at least 90% points, B for at least 80% points, C
for at least 70% points, D for at least 60% points and F for less than
60% points.
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.
