Objectives: The calculus labs have been designed to give you an opportunity to investigate math problems in greater detail than in the calculus books. They are also designed as an introduction to the powerful mathematical programming language Maple. In addition, your communication of mathematics in a technical manner will be practiced and perfected.

Co-requisite: Math 2200 or equivalent. The lab is to be taken in conjunction with the regular Calculus class.

Book: There is no printed book required for this class. The projects for the semester are posted on the course website.

Website: The class website can be found at http://www.math.uga.edu/~guy. It will be updated often and should be consulted regularly. We will also use WebCT for file saving and I may also post important information there. The address is http://webct.uga.edu.

Grading:

The normal 10 point grading scale will be used.

[90,100] ==> A; [80,90) ==> B; [70,80) ==> C; [60,70) ==> D; [0,60) ==> F

Grading will be based on your project grades.

Extra Credit: There will be no extra credit.

Projects: Projects will be listed on the course website . I will often make changes to the labs assigned and you should consult the instructions for details before beginning any project. Projects will NOT, however, be submitted online, but will be printed out and handed in (Note: this will require having a UGA ID with ample Bulldawg Bucks). More information will be given later.

Due Dates: Due dates will be given later and will generally be a week or two after the assignment is discussed in class with the possibility that some parts will be turned in the SAME day the topic is discussed. Projects must be submitted in paper by the due 10 minutes into the start of the class period in which we start the next project.

Late Assignments: You will be given 3 late days for the semester!! This means you may turn in ANY project up to 3 university class days later than the assigned due date (until your three days are used up). Your first three days (total) are free, after that the work will not be accepted for grading. For each late day you have NOT used at the end of the semester, you will receive one percent added to your final AVERAGE. If you have not used any of your late days, you will receive one extra percent for a total of 4%. You may hand in late assignments in my office. You should note that if you leave your assignment in an insecure environment when you hand it in late, you are responsible for the security of your submission, and you are still responsible for maintaining the academic integrity of your work. See academic honesty below for more information.

Attendance: Attendance is necessary for your success in this class. However, no attendance will be taken, and there is no deduction for missing class.

Dropping the Class: In order to comply with departmental policies regarding lab enrollment, to drop the lab you must also drop the lecture. Failure to do so could result in the department withdrawing you administratively from the lecture. You may, however, drop the lecture and keep the lab.

Makeups: Missed work will result in a zero. You should take advantage of the “Late Days” to turn in any work missed during an absence. If you run out of late days, there will be no making up of labs or assignments in any fashion. See Late Assignments above for possibility of turning in assignments late.

Academic Honesty: You are required to follow the university’s honor policy on all of your work in this class. Collaboration is encouraged, but the work which is turned in for a grade should be 100% yours. Working with someone is not the same as submitting the same report (even partially the same). You will also be required to cut and paste the Honor Code to the bottom of your project. Your signature (which is required at the bottom of each project) constitutes your agreement to these policies. Any lab without an honor code will not be graded, and you will receive an automatic zero for the assignment. Any violation of the academic honesty policy will result in the maximum allowable penalty for such an infraction including (but not limited to) receiving an F for the project, becoming ineligible for any bonus points and being turned over to the proper authorities for further discipline. You are responsible for maintaining the integrity of your work. It is your responsibility to ensure that no one has access to any print outs of your project nor your files at any time. You should never throw away a copy of your lab report in an area where others could have access to it, nor leave your files unattended. Failure to secure your work is also a violation of the academic honesty policy of this class.
