2. Grading Information

There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1, E2, E3.

There will also be a final, E4.

Exam	Date	Location	Time	Solutions
E1	February 10	Check here on exam day.	6:30-8:30PM	Solutions
E2	March 17	Check here on exam day.	6:30-8:30PM	Solutions
E3	April 14	Check here on exam day.	6:30-8:30PM	Solutions
E4	May 7	Check here on exam day.	10:30-12:30	Solutions

The three evening exams, E1, E2, E3 and a final exam, E4, will be combined in the following way to obtain a point total out of 100:

S1 := (E1 + E2 + E3 + 2*E4 - min(Ei: i=1..4))/4

A second score will be obtained as follows:

S2 := 0.8*S1 + 0.2*HW

Where HW is the homework score.

The score S := max(S1,S2) will be translated into a letter grade of A, B, C, D, F (with plus and minus shadings) in a way that is not stricter than the following table:

Numerical Range	Letter Grade
[80,100]	A
[65,80)	B
[50-65)	C
[40-50)	D
[0,40)	F

It is not likely that "curving" will be applied. There is not much point in asking about this. That is because nothing will be decided until after the final exam. However, it is prudent to assume that there will be no curving.

The Mathematics Department has the following policy in place for the standard calculus sections, which includes this course:

A standard-sized index card will be permitted as a "cheat sheet" on the exams.

Many calculators are permitted. These include the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-86, and, in general, any calculator that does not have a "computer algebra system."

Calculators with a computer algebra system are NOT allowed on exams. Examples of calculators that are NOT allowed include the TI-89, TI-92/TI-92 Plus, Casio FX2, HP-48 and HP-49.

If you are uncertain about whether use of your calculator is permitted on exams, bring it and its manual in for me to inspect.

Use of a prohibited calculator at an exam is an academic integrity violation that will be referred to the Academic Integrity Committee.

3. Text

Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Second Edition, James Stewart

No other book is required. It is highly desirable that you concurrently learn to use some software that is of service in doing calculus. If Matlab is your choice, then the supplement:

Using Matlab in Calculus, Gary Jensen

is recommended. If your software choice is Maple, then no additional text is needed: you will find links to aids below. Course materials will be distributed in the form of Maple files.

5. Software

Software is not required for this course. However, it is a great advantage to know a package so that you can check your manual work. I recommend MAPLE. Materials for this course will be distributed as MAPLE files. You can use the copy of Maple in the Eads computer lab to open and view the distributed files. The release there (5.1) is about five years out of date. The student edition of the current version, Release 9 can be purchased at the book store for around the price of the course textbook. It is a better value.

It may be possible to view the files using an old demo. However the demo has no "Help" facility and lacks most working functionality.
