Course Project/Exam Solutions: Can be accessed at the following website http://faculty.matcmadison.edu/alehnen/calculus2/ProjectExamSolutions.html .

Winplot Tutorial: http://faculty.matcmadison.edu/alehnen/winptut/winpltut.htm .

Winplot Examples: http://my.execpc.com/~aplehnen/winplotf.htm .

Course Objectives: To provide the student with
1. An opportunity to learn the basic concepts and methods of the differential and integral calculus of real functions of a single real variable.
2. An opportunity to apply the methods of calculus to the solution of problems taken primarily from the physical and engineering sciences.
3. The mathematical preparation for higher level mathematics and science courses.
4. An understanding and appreciation of the logical sequence of advanced mathematics.

Core Abilities: To accomplish its mission, MATC has identified eight Core Abilities students need to develop in order to become productive and civic-minded citizens. The Core Abilities which have been identified as having a major emphasis in Calculus II are Communications, Critical Thinking,, Mathematics, and Science and Technology. 

Attendance: This is the responsibility of each individual student. An exam missed without adequate notification and explanation will result in an automatic grade of zero. Assignments which are due will never be accepted late. There are No Exceptions to these rules !

Grading: Four separate sources will contribute to the grade in this course :
1. The six highest scores on seven projects each worth 39 points.
2. Five group projects each worth 10 points.
3. Five lecture exams each worth 100 points.
4. A cumulative portfolio of the lecture exams worth 16 points.
5. A final exam worth 200 points.

Thus, the final grade will be based on a maximum of 1000 points. The Excel file http://faculty.matcmadison.edu/alehnen/calculus2/Scorecard.xls can be used to record your scores and compute your current average. Note: Any exam missed without an official excuse counts as a score of zero, as does any project not handed in when due. Since the lowest project score is dropped, there is only one that you can afford to miss. Exams may always be taken early to avoid conflicts, but at least a three-day notice is required. Makeup exams will only be available for the first four exams. Any student may schedule an appointment to take a makeup exam in my office. Makeups must be taken within a specified time limit (usually one week) after the original exam. The makeup score will always replace the original score.

Regardless of class averages, the following final point totals are guaranteed as minimum grade requirements:
 

These minimum values may be lowered if results warrant. In borderline situations class participation, attendance, the trend of exam scores, etc., may be used to justify the higher grade.

Assignments: A second course in calculus is not necessarily difficult. However, it does assume a good working knowledge of first semester calculus. It will also involve a great deal of work on your part. It will be nearly impossible for you to learn and master the content of this course without the persistent working of problems. In this regard, there will be two kinds of assignments.

1. Working assigned exercises associated with the sections of the text covered. It is the responsibility of the student to keep current, as these problems will not be collected. A list of assigned exercises will be provided.

2. Seven projects each worth 39 points plus five group projects each worth 10 points. These should be completed as directed and handed in when due. They will not be accepted late. Some of the projects involve using Winplot. Projects can be downloaded from the website: http://faculty.matcmadison.edu/alehnen/calculus2/projcalc2f09.pdf.

Calculator/Exam Policies: Handheld calculators (including graphing calculators) may be used on both homework and exams and should prove helpful. For each exam you may bring one sheet of paper on which you have written any information you desire. I strongly recommend the purchase of the student version of the computer algebra system Maple.

Course Content: Chapters 6 through 10 of the text are covered.
 

The date and time of the Final Exam will be announced in class.

It is my sincere desire that you will succeed in this course. I hope you will have questions, comments and suggestions! If you find yourself getting lost and/or behind please come see me for help before it is too late.
