Course Description:

Logarithmic, exponential, inverse trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions - their definitions graphs, differentiation, and integration. Techniques of integration, L'Hospitals rule, improper integrals. Sequences and series: convergence tests, power series, Taylor polynomials and Taylor series. Parametric equations and polar coordinates: graphs and other applications. A symbolic/graphing software package might be used to enhance the presentation of the topics

Course Prerequisite:

MTH 210 with a grade of C or better.

Text:

Calculus, James Stewart, Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.; 6^th Edition.

Course Objectives:

1. The student will graph, differentiate, and integrate the logarithmic, exponential, inverse trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions as well as be able to use them in applications.

2. The student will use integration by parts, trigonometric substitutions, partial fraction technique, and other integration methods to compute integrals.

3. The student will evaluate indeterminate forms and improper integrals using the L'Hospital rule.

4. The student will recognize sequences and series and apply various tests to determine their convergence.

5. The student will represent functions by power series and use these representations in applications.

6. The student will recognize and graph conic sections using standard equations.

7. The student will graph plane curves using parametric and polar equations.

8. If a symbolic/graphing software package is used, the student will verify computations of derivatives and integrals, as well as plot the graphs of functions and curves using this software.

Method of Evaluation:

Tests: 400 points

There will be 5 unit tests worth 100 points each. The lowest test grade will be dropped.

Comprehensive Final Exam: 100 points

There will be a comprehensive final examination worth 100 points.

Grading Policy:

A superior 90 – 100 %

B above average 80 – 89 %

C average 70 – 79 %

D passing, below average 60 – 69 %

F failure 0 – 59 %

Make-Up Tests:

Students may arrange with the instructor to take a test early. No make-up tests will be given after the test date. If one test is missed, then that will be the dropped test grade. If more than one test is missed, then the student will receive a grade of zero for that test.The final exam grade may be substituted for those grades at the discretion of the instructor.

Attendance:

Attendance is clearly an essential factor in successfully completing any mathematics class.

Homework:

Although homework is not collected, completion of all assigned problems is essential to a thorough understanding of the material.

Course Withdrawals:

A W will be issued if a student initiates and completes the course withdrawal process prior to the end of the 12^th week of classes.

The ACCESS OFFICE:

Disability Support Services has been designated by the college as the primary office to guide, counsel and assist students with disabilities. If you receive services through the ACCESS OFFICE and require accommodations for this class, make an appointment with me as soon as possible to discuss your approved accommodation needs. Bring your Instuctor Notification Memo provided by the ACCESS OFFICE to the appointment. I will hold any infomation you share with me in strictest confidence unless you give me permission to do otherwise.

If you have not made contact with the ACCESS OFFICE and have reasonable accommodation needs, (volunteer notetaker, extended time for tests, seating arrangements, etc.), I will be happy to refer you. The ACCESS OFFICE will require appropriate documentation of disability.

If you have a disability and have no need for accommodations, the use of ACCESS OFFICE is voluntary.

EXPECTED CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR

Be respectful

If you arrive late, enter quietly and sit in an available seat closest to the door.
Pay attention, do not engage in conversation or other disruptive behavior during class.
Do not eat or drink during class
Turn off your cell phone or pager before class.
If you must leave early, leave quietly and do not block other students view of the blackboard or overhead screen as you leave.
Do not wait to sharpen your pencil after class has begun. If you need to sharpen your pencil, arrive early enough to sharpen it before class.

Be prepared

Bring whatever materials are necessary to participate in class.(pencils, pens, paper, calculator, assignments due,etc.)
Make sure your calculator has charged batteries before an upcoming test.
Do not ask me for pencils, paper, calculators, or batteries.

Be punctual

Attend class on time.
Be on time for all examinations.
Make sure that your other responsibilities do not conflict with the class schedule.

Be responsible

Spend at least two hours on outside work for every one hour of classroom work.
Take responsibility for your attendance, participation and learning in the course.
