• Tutoring
  Sunday through Thursday evenings, 8-10 p.m., room BP 312.

• General description from Clark's Academic Catalog
  Math 120, 121 and 122 (Calculus I, II, and III) / Lecture

  Calculus is essential for majors in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and environmental science and policy. Part I includes functions, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions, mean value theorem, and various applications. Part II includes; Riemann sums and integrals, techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals, transcendental functions; (logarithms, exponential functions, and inverse trigonometric functions). Part III includes further topics from calculus proper (sequences, series, polar coordinates) and introduces linear algebra (vectors, matrices, and linear systems). Though not all results are derived rigorously, care is taken to distinguish intuitive arguments from rigorous proofs. Math 120, 121, and 122 each fulfill the Formal Analysis requirement. Prerequisite for Math 120: appropriate score on the mathematics placement test, or appropriate grade in Math 119. Prerequisite for Math 121: Math 120, or Math 124, or AP credit in Calculus. Prerequisite for Math 122: Math 121. / Offered every fall (120, 122) and spring (121).
  

• Course administration. There will be quizzes, three evening midterms, and a final exam.

  Homework and Quizzes. Practice problems will be assigned daily from the text to help you master the concepts discussed in class. Although the problems will not be collected regularly, it is expected that you will keep up to date on the problems. Math is not a spectator sport. You learn by doing; therefore, it is only to your advantage to keep abreast of the current work. Don't wait until the night before the exam to begin doing the problems. Periodically we will assign a few specific problems to be collected and graded. Homework is due in class on the assigned day. No late assignments will be accepted. Short 15-20 minute quizzes will be given periodically throughout the semester. No makeups for quizzes will be given for any reason. In computing the final Homework/Quiz average, the lowest homework or quiz grade will be dropped.

  Exams will be given in a three-hour block in the evening on the above dates. The exams will be common for all students taking Math 121 and will be based on material discussed in the lecture or presented in the text prior to the date of the exam. Exams will be closed book, closed notebook. The use of calculators will not be allowed. In the event that a student has a legitimate, documented excuse for missing an exam, the student must contact the instructor prior to the scheduled exam time. A makeup may be rescheduled at the instructor's convenience.

  The final will be a two-hour, comprehensive exam, given during the final exam period. All students will be required to take the final exam at that time. Therefore do not make plans to leave campus before the final exam.

  The course grade is computed as follows

     15%, Homework/Quizzes 
     20%, Exam 1     - date to be determined
     20%, Exam 2     - date to be determined
     20%, Exam 3     - date to be determined
     25%, Final Exam - dates to be determined
  

• Work expectation. You will work on average about six to eight hours each week outside of class. This will include studying from your notes and the textbook, doing the homework assignments, and studying for quizzes and exams. See About studying mathematics in general, and Calculus in particular for more details.
• Textbook. Salas, Hillie, & Et gen. Calculus: One and Several Variables, 10th edition.

  This is the same textbook used last semester in Math 120, and it will be used next semester in Math 122.
