{\bf Text:}
Stewart, \emph{Single Variable Calculus}, Fourth edition

\bigskip

\noindent 
{\bf Syllabus:}  We will cover  Chapters 7 and 8, parts of Chapters 9 and
10,
Chapter 12, and part of Chapter 11, mostly in that order.  The topics
are inverse functions, techniques of integration, applications of
integration,
differential equations, infinite sequences and 
series, 
 parametric equations and polar coordinates.

\bigskip

\noindent
You are encouraged to read each section
of the text before it is
covered in class.  To do well, you {\bf must}
keep up with the homework and review frequently.


\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Computers:} 
I will use the computer algebra system Maple for classroom
demonstrations.
There will be information available on the course web site
on how to use Maple, and there will be some Maple worksheets with  problems
related to the course material which I encourage you to try.



\bigskip




\noindent
{\bf Examinations:}  There will be two  midterms, eleven quizzes
and a final exam.

Exam I: Thursday, October 3, 8-9:15 a.m. in 118 Nieuwland

Exam II: Thursday, November 14, 8-9:15 a.m. in 102 DeBartolo

Final: Tuesday, December 17, 1:45-3:45 p.m.

Quizzes: Tuesdays, in the tutorials, beginning September 3, weekly except the 
weeks of the midterms and the last week of classes. 


\medskip

\noindent
Calculators will generally be allowed on most quizzes and exams. 

\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Homework:}  
 Homework assignments will be posted on the course web site on
 Wednesday.
The first assignment is already posted. 
 Assignments will usually include reading and problems from the book.  
The problems will be due the following Wednesday.  There may also be
an extra credit assignment, which will usually be due the Friday
 following
the due date for the assignment.  There may also be some Maple 
problems, which I encourage you to do but you will not turn them
in unless they are part of an extra credit assignment.

\bigskip


\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf Grading:}
\bigskip

 
Midterms  100 points each

Quizzes 100 points (10 points each, the lowest
quiz score will be discarded)
 
Final 150 points
 
Homework 100 points (after scaling)
 


  
\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Absence from examinations and quizzes:}  A student who is absent from
an examination or quiz without an official excuse shall receive a grade
of zero for that examination or quiz.  A student who is officially
excused shall not be penalized.  If you miss a test or quiz for any
reason, call the instructor or the Mathematics Department as soon as possible.

\bigskip


\noindent
{\bf Honor Code:}   
The Honor Code is in effect for all exams, quizzes and
assignments. You are encouraged to work together on the assignments,
but copying in any form or submitting work done by others as your own
is a violation of the Honor Code.

\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Web Site}  The web page for this section is 
 
http://www.nd.edu/$\sim$nancy/Math126/info.html 

\noindent
 On this page you will 
find general information about the course (including a copy of this
handout), homework assignments, announcements, information
about Maple, Maple demonstrations and the optional Maple worksheets.
  If any last minute
 corrections to the 
homework assignments 
are necessary, they will be posted as announcements.

\bigskip

\noindent
\textbf{About office hours and tutorials:} 
If you have a question about the homework which you would like me to
discuss in class, please send me an email message telling me what 
the question is by 8 a.m.\ the day of class.   At the start of class, I
will
answer a few of these questions, carefully chosen to be
representative. 
 Since this is a large class, I will 
probably not have time to answer all the questions about homework
in class.
In the tutorials, the
teaching assistant will answer questions about the homework and will
give the weekly quiz, but he may not have time to answer all
the questions. You can get additional help from us during  our office
hours.   
During office hours 
I am also happy  to discuss topics from the course in greater 
depth or to discuss  any  math-related questions you might have.
