Course Description: This
course is a study of algebraic and transcendental functions with an emphasis on
integral calculus and sequences and series.
Other topics from single-variable calculus include parametric equations
and polar coordinates. Applications
focus on functions which model real-world situations.
Prerequisite: MATH 1501
or consent of instructor. (Students who
have credit for Math 151 on the quarter system and have not taken Math 152 are
not prepared for this course and should take MATH 1501.)
Text: Calculus, Concepts and Contexts, Second
Edition; James Stewart, Brooks/Cole Publishing, 2001.
Optional Materials: Student Solutions Manual, Single Variable
Calculus; Study Guide, Single Variable.
Both the text and solution manual are available in the CCSU campus
store.
Technology:
·
Math Software: The
software that will be used in Math 2502 is MathCAD
11 by MathSoft, Inc. This software
package is available only through the College bookstore at a reduced cost to
students because of the CCSU site licensing agreement. The software
is available for purchase-only from
the College bookstore and is not returnable
·
COMPUTER REQUIREMENT: Each CCSU student is required to have ready access
throughout the semester to a notebook computer that meets faculty-approved
hardware and software requirements for the student's academic program. See http://itpchoice.clayton.edu for full
details of this policy. The computer will be used on many occasions
throughout the semester during class lectures as well as while working through
exercises both in and out of the classroom.
The computer will be needed while taking most tests.
·
Please go to http://thehub.clayton.edu/
for information about workshops designed to assist you in using your computer.
·
Students should have the standard CCSU software installed
on their computers as soon as possible. Please go to http://thehub.clayton.edu/ for
information about setting up an appointment for having this software installed
on your notebook computer.
·
Students must use their CCSU mailbox. Please go to http://thehub.clayton.edu/ for
information about setting up your email. You will check your CCSU mailbox
by using your Internet Service Provider to access the Internet and then going
to the CCSU post office on the web.
·
Review of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and
integration techniques such as Substitution and Integration by Parts, methods
of numerical integration including Midpoint, Trapezoidal, and Simpson’s rules,
and Improper Integrals. (Sections 5.4 to 5.10 and appendix G)
·
Applications of integration involving Volumes, Arc Length,
Average Value, and topics in Physics and Economics. (Sections 6.1 to 6.5)
·
Polar and Parametric coordinate systems, equations, graphs,
and areas. (Appendix H)
·
Sequences and series (Sections
8.1-8.7)
·
Differential Equations involving Modeling, Direction
Fields, Euler’s Method, Exponential and Logistic Forms. (Sections
7.1 to 7.6)
III. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The
student will be able to:
Your
instructor has regular office hours and is willing to assist you outside of
class. The library has a number of
other texts on college algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and calculus
that you might find useful. The Center
for Learning Enhancement (CLE) is located on the lower level of the library and
is staffed by support personnel with a background in mathematics. There are also audiotapes, videotapes, and
software available in the Center.
Please go to http://ctl.clayton.edu/
for more information about the CTL and its services.
V. HOMEWORK
“Math is not a spectator sport!”
The only homework that will be graded is that which is specifically assigned to
be graded; however, to succeed in this or any other mathematics class you must
do homework exercises on a regular basis (ideally everyday, at a minimum
several times a week) and should do each homework assignment. Homework will require an absolute minimum of
eight hours of work outside of class each week, and many students will find
that more time is needed. Homework assignments will be posted on the Math 2502
website for each class meeting.
Assignments to be turned in will be clearly indicated.

Notes:
·
A student’s grade in the course will be determined by the
student’s performance on four tests, quizzes and graded assignments, and the
final exam. Some quizzes and some parts
of tests will be completed without the use of the computer, while others will
require the use of the computer.
·
All work must be completed and submitted on time.
·
All papers except the final exam will be returned to
you. In addition, near the end of the
semester, your grades will be reported to you.
You will have all of the information necessary to determine your grade.
·
Your grade will be based solely on the items mentioned in
the “Evaluation” section above. There
will be no extra credit given to any student.
After final grades are submitted any concerns about the accuracy of
grade calculation will be addressed.
Requests for extra credit or other consideration will not be
considered.
No student will be excused from
taking the final examination; only under
extenuating circumstances will a student be allowed to take the final
examination at any time other than the regularly scheduled time. The final
examination will be comprehensive.
Failure to take the final examination will result in the grade of “F”
for the course.

VIII. Other INFOrMATION
Student
Responsibilities:
Students must abide by policies in the Clayton
College & State University Student Handbook, and the Basic
Undergraduate Student Responsibilities.
NEW UNIVERSITY POLICIES: See the 2003-04 Academic Catalog for details
on the two policies.
·
Any paid student who has failed to attend a class by the
final payment deadline for the term will be identified as a “no show.” The “no show” student will be
administratively withdrawn from the class, a grade of W will be posted, and the
student will NOT be reinstated. Any
appeals on the decision are made to the Dean.
·
A student who has withdrawn or earned less than a
satisfactory grade (F, U, D, WF, W) a total of three times in a course at CCSU
will not be allowed to take the course again.
Any appeals on the decision are made to the Dean.
OTHER UNIVERSITY POLICIES:
·
The mid-term grade in this course, which will be issued on
February 23, reflects approximately 25% of the entire course grade. This
percentage will depend on whether or not test 2 is included in this grade. Based on this grade, students may choose to
withdraw from the course and receive a grade of "W." Students
pursuing this option must fill out an official withdrawal form, available in
the Office of the Registrar, by mid-term, which occurs on February 27.
.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE INSTRUCTOR
·
Every effort will be made to respond to any message left on
voice mail within 48 hours.
·
Every effort will be made to respond to any regular
priority message sent via e-mail within 48 hours.
·
When contacting the instructor by email, please identify
yourself by name and include a meaningful subject with your email.
·
When contacting the instructor by phone, please identify
yourself by name and leave a phone number if you want a return call.
ATTENDANCE:
·
Students are expected to attend each class session. Attendance will be checked.
·
Students are responsible for knowing about any
announcements or assignments made in class, whether present or not.
·
If you know ahead of time that you will need to miss a
class, it is best to inform the instructor.
MAKE-UP WORK:
In
general tests and quizzes may not be made up.
However the final exam percentage score can replace your lowest test
grade if the test grade is lower than the final exam percentage score. Students who miss tests or quizzes for
reasons that are absolutely beyond their control need to contact the instructor
as soon possible, make-ups may be allowed if taken prior to the exam being
returned to the entire class. There
are no make-ups after exams or quizzes are returned to the class. Homework cannot be submitted late
without prior arrangement.
NOTE: Students
who officially withdraw no later than February 27 will receive a W.
After this day, a student who withdraws will receive a grade of WF unless a hardship exception is
granted. (See the current Academic
Catalog for additional information.)
Any instance of academic dishonesty will be dealt with in
accordance with University policies with a minimum penalty of a zero being
given for any associated work.
