Course Description
The Calculus Lab has been designed to encourage the students to investigate mathematical problems in a greater depth than is possible in a lecture course. They work on projects and write reports on MAPLE, a program useful for computations in mathematics.

Materials available by www.math.uga.edu, Undergraduate information, Course Web Sites.

Projects
Proj.1. Welcome to MAPLE I and II
Proj.2. Limits with Spreadsheets
Proj.3. Definition of the Derivative
Proj.4. Tangent Lines
Proj.5. Newton's Method
Proj.6. Implicit Plots and Derivatives
Proj.7. Analysis of a Graph

Grading
The grades will be based on the student’s performance in the 8 projects. Each project is 10 points. There will be 10 % bonus for frequently done extra credits.
A: 90% - 100%; B; 75% - 89%; C: 60% - 74%; D: 40% - 59%; F: 0% - 39%

Attendance Policy
For missing three or more classes the final grade will be lowered by 10%; for late project, the project’s grade will be lowered by 10%.

Withdrawal Policy
A student who withdraws from a lab must withdraw the regular course (on OASIS).

How each project should be organized
Students should follow the instructions in the “Differential Calculus Lab” for each project. Each project should start with the name of the student, a letter mark of the classes (W for Wednesday, F for Friday), and the name of the project. A brief explanation presenting what the project will be about should be given. Each part of the project should be marked and should include everything needed for it, both calculations and comments. Explanations should be included whenever necessary rather than only performing calculations by MAPLE. They will demonstrate the student’s level of understanding of the matter and their missing will make the work unsatisfactory. At the end, collaboration and academic honesty statement should be copied and signed by the student. The project should not be written on the tutorial file, otherwise it will not be graded, and should include only problems from the project. It could be copied on a floppy disk and could be done on any computer with MAPLE installed, e.g. on any computer in Boyd Graduate Center or Scientific Library.

Collaboration and academic honesty
The students are encouraged to work together on the projects, but the final write-up of the report should be your own. Any plagiarism is prohibited. All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic
careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense. For more information, look at http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm,
esp. sections 5 and 7.

Additional information
Students will have opportunity to work on the projects at Open Lab (room 308) where they will be consulted by TA.
