Prerequisites: Working knowledge of (not just a passing grade on) MATH 2200
Objectives of the Course: This course will cover Chapters
5-8
of the text, omitting few sections.
The objective is to understand
definite
and indefinite integrals and be able to apply them to a wide variety of
problems.
You will be responsible for sections on which homeworks are
assigned.
This course is intended to serve as a forum to facilitate
your active
learning of the material.
You are responsible for understanding the
material and keeping up with the course, not just showing up for the
class.
You are expected to be able to demonstrate your understanding of the
material
by solving the problems
similar to those covered in class, not just
repeating things exactly like the ones on the board.
Homework,
Quizzes and Exams: Doing homework is the most important
component of the course.
Assignments is posted at http://www.math.uga.edu/~jtie/teaching/fall-04/2210/hw.pdf.
Problems on weekly quizzes will be similar to the problems in homework
assignment.
Therefore,
you are expected to do the homework on your own
everyday.
Past experience shows that students who do not take
homework
seriously do poorly
on the exams and most of them fail. For example,
you
may fail if you do homework only when exams are near.
Quizzes are open
book and exams are closed book.
There will be no make-up quizzes, nor
exams.
However, I will drop your lowest score on both quizzes and hour-exams.
Remember:
"No one becomes a good swimmer by just watching others swim;
likewise,
no one learns mathematics well by just going to lectures".

Class Attendance and Participation are very important in
this
class. I will randomly take attendance
and reserve the right to
withdraw
you from the class if you miss too many classes and/or too much
work
--this
will save you from frustrations later on in the course, as well as save
other students from being
held back because of your missing
classes/work.
In order to protect class from distraction,
coming-later-for and
leaving-early-from
classes are discouraged.
Please let me know in advance if you must
come late or leave early.
Collaboration and Academic Honesty: You are strongly
encouraged
to form study groups
to work on your homework and discuss the material
for the course.
However, you must do independent work on quizzes and
exams.
Above all, UGA
Academic Honesty Policy applies.
Excerpts from the UGA Academic
Honesty Policy:
"Every student has
an obligation to be informed
concerning
the terms of this policy.
Accordingly, lack of knowledge of the
provisions
of this policy is not
an acceptable defense to a charge of
violating
this policy."
Grading Policy (Partly based on class participation): Quizzes
20%; Hour-Exams 40%; Final Exam 40%. I will drop two quizzes and one
test. There will be no make-up for quiz and exam. You need to show
steps for
solutions
of problems.
No credit will be given to a straight answer to a problem
without explanation, unless it is a yes-or-no type problem.
You are
expected
to write your problem solutions in such a way that they are
understandable
by your fellow classmates.
If your circumstance requires making special arrangement, I will be glad to accommodate.
This syllabus provides a general guide for the course. Deviation
may be necessary.
