Course Objective:  
	This course will introduce the student to the Computer Algebra system (CAS) called MAPLE in 
order to supplement material learned in MATH 2200, Differential Calculus.  

Co-requisite (Withdrawing from the course):
	Enrollment in MATH 2200, Differential calculus, is tentative upon your enrollment in this
class.  If you decide to withdraw from this class or are withdrawn you are required to withdraw
from MATH 2200 also.

Attendance Policy and Grading:
	Attendance in this course is mandatory.  A student may miss no more than two class days 
without penalty.  Any student which misses three of more days will suffer a penalty of their letter
grade be lowered by a letter grade, e.g., If the student has an “A” in the course and misses three
or more days he/she will receive a “B” for the course. With regards to grading:  We will attempt to
complete eight calculus labs this semester and you will have the option of turning in an extra lab
for extra credit.  In addition, there will be quizzes assigned which will test your fundamental
knowledge of calculus concepts.  Keep in mind that the goal of this class augment your understanding
of calculus not to make you a better user of MAPLE, although, this may be an unintended consequence.

Materials:	
	You may want to bring either a floppy disk or flash drive to class to save work to.  Keep in
mind that you may also email your work to yourself.  I would recommend that you actively email
completed projects to yourself while periodically saving any work you have in progress to another
storage medium.  A little effort in the beginning will save you a lot of hurt in the long rune.

Rules:	
	You should at no time be using a cell phone in the lab.  In addition, food of any kind, 
including drinks, is not allowed in the lab.

Academic Honesty:	
	The instructor will adhere to all aspects of the university academic honesty policy, as will
each student.  The policy may be found at 
			www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm.
Students are encouraged to work together on projects, but each student must write his or her own
lab, in his/her own words.  The university honesty statement is attached to the bottom of each
lab in the manual, and should be cut and pasted onto each student’s lab report, and then signed.
As stated above, saving work to the desktop also falls under this policy.
