Instructor: Caner Kazancı E-mail: caner@uga.edu Offices: Boyd Graduate School, Room 318 and Driftmier Engineering Center, Room 410. Office Hours: Wednesday 11:00-12:00 at Boyd Graduate Studies,
Room: 318. Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00-12:00 at Driftmier
Engineering Center Room: 410. You can always e-mail me to
set-up an appointment at anytime. Schedule: 12:20-1:10pm (MWF), Building: 1013
(Livestock Poultry),
Room: 240 Text: Calculus, by Edwards and Penney,
6e, Prentice Hall
Introduction: The laws of the universe are written in the
language of mathematics. Algebra is sufficient to solve many static
problems, but the most interesting phenomena involve change and are
described only by equations that relate changing quantities. In our
course; we will cover differentiation and their applications.
Advice: Students find the way I cover Calculus in class very
clear compared to the textbook. So I suggest that you try to learn
in class while taking notes, rather than just taking notes and
trying to learn the topic using your notes or the textbook. Still, it
is almost impossible to understand everything perfectly in class, so
I encourage you to interrupt me and ask your questions as I teach.
Help: Office hours are to be determined the first week of
classes. You are always welcome to e-mail me to set up an appointment
if you can't make it to the office hours. There will be additional
help in the mathematics department where you can get help from gradute
students in a designated study room. The time and location will be
announced here during the second week of classes. There is also
additional help, including free tutoring, available at The Division of Academic
Enhancement.
Evaluation: Almost all lectures will be based on the previous
one, so I strongly recommend that you study daily on your own. To
encourage this, there will be homework assignments and pop
quizzes. Homeworks will not be graded, however, your quiz grades will
count towards your final grade. Homework assignments will be posted
on this website as they become available. There will be three
in-class exams and an in-class final exam. The components of the
course will be weighted as follows in determining the course grade:
Test 1 (September 14)
20%
Test 2 (October 12)
20%
Test 3 (November 9)
20%
Final (December 14, 12-3pm)
30%
Quiz average
10%
Your lowest three quiz scores will be dropped when computing your
quiz average. The use of calculators and computers are not permitted
on the tests. The standards of academic honesty as described here by
OVPI (Office of Vice President for Instruction) will be
enforced.
Make-up exams: Make-ups for the exams will only be given for
documented reasons of illness, family emergency, or participation in
a university sponsored event. Make-up exams may be oral. Please try
to arrange a make-up at the earliest possible time if one seems
appropriate. There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes since your
lowest three quiz scores will be dropped. I will make an exception
only if you miss at least four quizzes and have documented reasons
for not attending all of them.
