Course Information:

Textbook. The course textbook is Thomas' Calculus---Early Transcendentals, Single Variable, Twelfth Edition, Addison Wesley, ISBN--10: 0321628837
A copy of the textbook and the student solutions manual are on reserve in the Mathematics Library on the 4th floor of Malott.

Grading. Grades will be computed usign the following point break-down:

Note that your section grade will be based on some combination homework, class participation, attendance, and in-class quizzes should your instructor choose to have them. Homework will count for at least 60% of the section and the rest is left up to the instructor.

Synopsis. Math 1110 focuses on functions and graphs, limits and continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trig, logarithmic, and exponential functions. It includes applications of differentiation, such as graphing functions, max-min problems, tangent line approximation, and implicit differentiation. We will also discuss the Mean Value Theorem, antiderivatives, definite and indefinite integrals. The course culminates with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The last few topics include substitution in integration, and the area under a curve.

Credit and Prerequisites. Math 1110 is a 4--credit course, so you should plan on spending 12 hours per week outside of lectures working on it. If you are working more than that and still feel that you are not keeping up, please talk to me as soon as possible. Students may not receive credit for both Math 1110 and Math 1106. In preparation for this course, you should have completed high school algebra and trigonometry, or a course entitled precalculus mathematics.

Is Math 1110 the right course for you?Math 1110 is designed for students with no prior experience with calculus. If you studied calculus in high school and received a score of 3 or better on the AB Advanced Placement test, you have credit for this course and should discuss your decision to take this course with your faculty advisor. You should strongly consider taking Math 1120 or Math 1220 instead. More information about credit for AP or IB exams can be found here.
