Course objective

This course is a study of the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus. Topics includes limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, definite integrals, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and the exponential and logarithmic functions. Roughly, we will cover Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4, and some parts of Chapter 5 and 6.

Prerequisite

Precalculus or its equivalence. We will assume that you have studied the following topics: high school algebra, functions, graph of linear and quadratic functions, trigonometric functions.

Grading

I will grade on a curve. Final grades will be computed according to the following breakdown:

Calculator or computer

Only four function or scientific calculators are permitted on midterm tests and the final. Use of graphing calculators, computers, smartphone or any other electronic devices is not allowed.

Homework

Both online and offline homework will be assigned. Online homework will be handled through WebWork, a website for submitting your homework online. Details on signing up for WebWork will be given during the first two weeks of classes.

I don’t accept any late submission or e-mail submission unless there is some medical/family emergency. For instance, “I cannot access WebWork for some reason.” is not an acceptable excuse. Do early.

There will be also biweekly offline homework, for improving your mathematical writ- ing and exploring applications of calculus. It will be collected on Wednesday, before the class starts. I highly recommend you to work in groups and help each other, but do not copy someone’s answer directly. You must understand how to solve the problems.

Additional materials

I will post solutions of tests and homework. Check the course webpage regularly, at least once in a week. It is always advisable to work as many additional problems from the book as you have time for. In each week I will post on the course webpage a list of recommended problems from the textbook. You don’t need to submit a solution of recommended problems, but studying them will be very helpful to improve your test score.

Test

There will be two midterm tests and a cumulative final exam. The exam schedule, which will depend on the course progress, will be announced later. The final is cumulative. Make up exams will not be given unless you have a documented reason.

Attendance

Coming to every class during the official academic term is required. Attendance will be taken intermittently. This will be included in the “participation” portion of your grade.

Math Help Room

From the second week of classes, the Math Help Room in LL819C welcomes all students to drop by with any math questions. Faculty and upper class math majors will stay and help you. The schedule will be announced later.

Academic integrity

As a Fordham University student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s academic integrity policy. All academic work must meet the standards described here. Lack of knowledge of the academic integrity policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic integrity policy should be directed to the instructor.

Disclaimer

The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary.
