Objectives of the Course:

Calculus Lab has been designed to give you an opportunity to investigate calculus problems in a regular course using a computer program, called MAPLE. This course will help you to understand the concepts and methods in calculus that you are studying in your calculus lecture course. You can solve equations, graph functions, and simplify algebraic formulas very easily and fast using Maple, and Maple also serves as a great word processor for your reports.

Co-requisite Course: Math2210

A student who is withdrawn from Math2210 or Math2210L should withdraw from the co-requisite course

 

Attendance:

You are expected to attend each class. A student may miss at most two classes without penalty. But you must keep this opportunity for an emergency. A student who misses three or more classes will get his/her grade lowered by one grade or more. If you leave the class early without any excuses or reasons, your attendance will be ignored for the class. I will give you an “F” if you miss five or more classes including emergencies. Note that perfect attendance will finally make bonus points.

Project Format:

In this Lab, you will work five projects and three quizzes. You may collaborate with other students; however, you must write each project by yourself, using your own words. Reports should be neat and professional, no handwriting on the report except your signature.

-Each project consists of 3 parts: Introduction, Main Part, and Academic honesty statement.

-Write in the introduction what you work in the project, having at least 4 lines.

-Explain each step with sentences what you are going to do before Maple syntaxes, so that we can easily read and understand the projects; note that your explanation should be reasonable.

 

Grading:

Projects(40%), Quizzes(30%), Attendance(30%)

-Deadline of delayed projects is April 18

-No chance to revise or redo each project

 

The Academic Honesty Statement:

At the end of each project, you must include a signed academic honesty statement listing the students you worked with; however, the reports should not be identical. That is, students are supposed to use their own words to explain their works. If this statement or signature is missing, five points will be count off.
