Text: Calculus Concepts and Contents, fourth edition by Stewart

Content and Goals: This course continues our study from Calculus I. In this course we will study
integration and series, including power series and specifically, Taylor series. This corresponds to
Chapters 5, 6, and 8 in our text. We'll spend roughly three weeks on each chapter. While we will study
some techniques of integration, our focus in the first part of the course will be on understanding the
defintion of the Riemann integral and applications of the definition.

Of course, one main goal of this study is mastery of the content. But this is not the only goal for this
course (or most any course....). We'll practice thinking logically about ideas, formulating and asking
questions, and integrating knowledge.

Workload:

Differentiation Mastery	A virtually unlimited opportunity to display mastery of the differentiation skills which are necessary for this course! The only possible scores are 100%, corresponding to mastery, and 0%. How does this work? You'll PRINT OFF an exam, DO IT WITHOUT help (no book, no notes, no calculator, no friends, etc). DISCUSS it with me. If it's perfect, you're done; if it's not perfect, you'll print off a NEW EXAM, and repeat the process. This must be completed by Monday, 2 pm Week 2. Extra office hours will be announced for this period.	5%
Homework	Problems and reading will be assigned every class period. Typically, you'll be assigned reading and some warm up problems on day n-1 as well as some problems which will be turned in on day n+1. The warm up problems will form the basis of our class on day n (and the occasional quiz), so come prepared to class! The turn in problems will be collected in class. While late homework will not be graded, the two lowest homework grades will be dropped.	10% warm ups 10% turn ins
Midterm Exams	There will be two exams during the quarter: one on Wednesday of Week 4 (Oct 4), and one on Wednesday of Week 8 (Nov 1). The exams will NOT be like hw problems, but WILL resemble problems on a review sheet which will be distributed in class. While mastery exams are meant to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ahem, mastery, of the material, the in class exams are meant to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to integrate knowledge.	20% each
Integration and Series Mastery	A virtually unlimited opportunity to display mastery of integration and series! Conducted in the same way as the algebra mastery, the only possible scores are 100%, corresponding to mastery, and 0%. This will take place around the tenth week of the term.	10%
Final Exam	Cumulative, as scheduled by the Registrar Monday, November 20, 1:30-4 pm	25%

A Few Notes: Attendance in class is strongly encouraged. This is your best opportunity to ask for
clarification, improve problem solving skills by engaging in guided attempts, and begin to distinguish the
major themes from the minor themes in our work. If you choose to not attend a class - for whatever
reason - be aware that your homework is still due. You may ask another student to turn it in for you in
class, or you or a friend may place it in my box outside the math dept suite by the time class ends. You
may always turn your homework in early, but late homework will not be graded.

It is expected that our classroom is a place of respect for all people and all questions and ideas. If this is
not your experience, please speak with me and we will address the issue together. Furthermore, cell
phones should be turned off and put away for the duration of class; arriving late to class and/or leaving
while class is underway should be avoided.

The dates for exams are given above. You are expected to be present in class for them; there are no
make up exams. Note that the final exam is scheduled by the Registrar not the instructor. All travel
arrangements for the end of the quarter should be made accordingly.

Students are permitted to use calculators in class and on exams. Note, however, that only calculators
with no ability to connect to outside information may be used during exams.

As a student at Kalamazoo College, you have pledged to uphold the Honor Code. This includes reporting
to me any dishonorable behavior you witness involving our work in this class, as well as not engaging in
such behavior yourself. As faculty at Kalamazoo College, it is my responsibility to be diligent about
limiting opportunities for dishonest behavior. This will include limiting movement during exams. This
will also include an automatic failure on any assignment where cheating has been found to occur.

A Few More Notes: Get engaged in our work! Many things look easier when you watch someone else
do them; but to develop skills for ourselves, most of us need to practice. This includes math! Maybe
you've studied some calculus before, maybe not. Either way, remember that our focus here is on under-
standing the concepts even more so than on being able to carry through on computations, and this is
much easier if you actively study rather than passively memorize. Finally, visit the Math/Physics
Center! Located in OU 205, this evening drop-in center (Sun-Thurs, 8-11pm ) is staffed with people
who love to talk about calculus and can also provide a great place to meet up with classmates.
