Class Time, Place: MWF  8:00-8:50, Boyd 303.

Office Hours: MWF 12:30-1:45 PM in Boyd 504, or by appointment.
You are urged to get your questions out of the way by coming to my office hours.
It is impossible to understand everything perfectly in class.

Prerequisites: Working knowledge of (not just a passing grade on) MATH 1113

Syllabus and Objectives of the Course:

Calculus is one of the greatest creations of science.
Ever since Newton and Leibniz introduced the subject in the 1600s,
Calculus has been studied and applied successfully to a broad spectrum of real world problems.
The objective of this course is to study the theory of the derivative and its applications.
This course will cover Chapters 2, 3, 4, and Section 5.1-5.2 of the text.
Deviations (minor if any) may be necessary.
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 Assignments and Quizzes:
Weekly homework will be assigned and posted on the course web page
http://www.math.uga.edu/~jtie/teaching/fall-05/2200/homework.html.
There will normally be weekly quizzes (except in the week of term test).
Problems on the quizzes will be chosen similar to the problems in homework assignment. 
You may consult the text book and your note during the quizzes.
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. You can consult the text book for quizzes.
You can find the solutions of odd numbered problem here.

Make-up Quizzes and Exams: There will be no make-up quizzes or exams.

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.
Tell me 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 write up your own homework. 
Above all, UGA Academic Honesty Policy applies — See the web site
http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm
Here are some quotes 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." 
"Any member of the University Community with direct personal knowledge of the facts related to
an alleged violation of Section 5 of this policy has a responsibility to the entire University Community to file a charge."

Grading Policy:  Quizzes 15%; Hour Exams 45%; Final Exam 40%. You need to shows 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 are understandable by your fellow classmates.
