Instructor: Michael Joyce
Meeting Time: MWF 10:00 - 10:50, T 9:30 - 10:50
Location: Gibson 414
TA: Michael Pollack
Course content: A combined course in Calculus I and II for
students with a background in Calculus I. Students receive credit for both
this course and 121 if they receive a B- or higher, or if they make a B-
or higher on the first exam and receive a C- or higher in the course.
Students may not receive credit for both 131 and 122.
We will cover material from Chapters 1 through 11. The material before the
first test will be mostly review of Calculus I. We assume that you have
all seen the material in Calculus 1 (through Chapter 6). Students without
prior credit but who nevertheless feel they are at this level (for example
those who received an AP score of 3) are encouraged to start 131. Their
performance will be assessed after the first test, and some who do poorly
may be wise to drop the course and enroll in Math 121 at that time. The
Mathematics Department will facilitate these course changes.
Textbook: Calculus (Early Transcendentals), J.
Stewart, Edition 6E
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all class meetings.
Exams: There will be three in-class (during recitation meeting)
exams during the semester, each of which will be weighted 15% toward your
final grade. They are scheduled for Tuesday September 25, Tuesday October
23 and Tuesday December 4.
Final Exam: The final exam will take place on Tuesday, December 11
from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM in a location that will be announced at the
end of the semester. (Please note that this time is one of the exceptions
to the normal final exam schedule which is based on class meeting time.)
You must take the final exam at the scheduled time. The final exam will
be weighted as 40% of your final grade. The final exam will be
cumulative.
Homework: Weekly homework assignments are an essential part of the
course. They will not be collected, but rather used as a basis for the
quizzes (as well as the exams, of course). The weekly assignments are
given below.
Quizzes: Each Thursday during recitation, a short (15-20 minute)
quiz will be administered, based on the homework assignment that was due
that day. These quizzes will be weighted as 15% of your final grade.
Recitation meetings: During recitation meetings, you will have the
opportunity to go over homework problems and other questions you have
regarding the material covered in the past week with the TA. During
recitation, a short quiz will be administered based on the homework
problems due that week.
A note on grading: The above weighting of the quizzes, in-class
exams, and final exams is only approximate. I will also use my judgment
of your improvement through the semester and your effort to seek extra
help on material you are struggling with to adjust your grade up or down
as appropriate.
Academic honesty: All students are expected to comply with the Honor Code of the
Liberal Arts and Sciences. I take academic honesty very
seriously and will take appropriate steps regarding all perceived
violations.
Additional resources: If you are having trouble with material in
the course, please come see me or the TA during office hours or set up an
appointment to meet at a different time. We are here to help! In
addition, the tutoring
center offers help for students taking Math 131. Consult their
webpage for their schedule of services and contact information. Finally,
the mathematics department runs a help desk on Mondays through Thursdays
from 4:00 to 5:30 in Gibson 426, with graduate students on hand to assist
students in any calculus course.
Calculator policy: Graphing calculators are required. The Texas
Instruments TI-84 is recommended, but see http://www.math.tulane.edu/undergrad/calculator.html.
Calculators with symbolic manipulation capabilities are NOT acceptable.
A final word: This course is challenging and you will find we move
much faster than your high school calculus class did. Consequently, a lot
of effort will be required on your part. If you don't regularly set aside
time to study your notes, read the text, and do the homework problems, you
will struggle in this course. However, there are ample resources
available for you to succeed in this course, as long as you are willing to
put in the blood, sweat, and tears to succeed.
