Course description.

The calculus labs have been designed to give you an opportunity to investigate math problems in greater detail than in the calculus books. You will work on projects and write reports on them with the aid of Maple, a computer algebra system.

 

Materials.

All the material can be found on course web site: http://www.math.uga.edu/calclab2200/

A student is allowed up to 2 unexcused absences. Three or more absences will result in lowing of the grade by one level, e.g. if  they get A’s level on their project, then their course grades will be lowered to B’s.  

 

Withdrawal policy.

Notice that if students withdraw from the Math2200L course, they will withdraw from the Math2200 course automatically. The Midpoint withdraw deadline is Oct 9, Monday.

 

How to write your report

1. Your report on a project should be a clear and complete presentation of the project topic, the steps in your investigations of the topic, and the results of your investigations;

2. Each report should begin with an introductory paragraph with your name, the instructor’s name, the project name and the date you finished your project.

3. You can redo your projects; you must turn in your revised project in a week after you get your original one. The final score will be the average of the both.
