Analytic Geometry and Calculus I MAC 2311 Summer C 2024 Instructor: Brendan Williams [Email:](Email: brendan.williams@ufl.edu)[ brendan.williams@ufl.edu](Email: brendan.williams@ufl.edu) Time: M T R F period 4 (12:30–1:45) Place: Little Hall (LIT) 233 Course Pages: The course page and all course material is on the course Canvas page. Office Hours: Monday and Thursday Period 5 (2:00–3:15 PM) in LIT 473 . Main References: There are no required textbooks for this course. We will make use of a free online textbook available at Openstax Calculus Volume 1 . Also, in this course we will use the online platform Xronos which has been developed at UF and is supported by the Office of the Provost and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Xronos is accessible through the Canvas site. More details will be given in class. The following text may be helpful, but is not required. • Stewart, J. Calculus: Early Transcentals, 8th Ed. (or earlier edition) Course Goals: This course will introduce students to the ideas of limit, derivative and integral for functions of a single variable. Upon completion, students will be able to understand the theory as well as applications. The course will prepare students for MAC2312 . Prerequisites: Appropriate score on the ALEKS placement assessment, or MAC 1147 (or its equivalent, both MAC 1140 and MAC 1114) with a C (2.0) or better. Grading Policy: Homework and quizzes (30%), Midterm 1 (20%), Midterm 2 (20%), Final (30%) . Important Dates: Classes Begin ...................................

July 4 Course Description: MAC 2311 is the first in the three-semester sequence MAC 2311, MAC 2312, and MAC 2313 covering basic calculus. Intended topics will include functions and inverse functions, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions; applications of derivatives; integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus; applications of definite integrals. MAC 2311 begins with a short review of precalculus topics. You should already be competent in working this material. We strongly recommend that students who are having difficulty with the precalculus review material consider first taking MAC 1147, a four credit precalculus course reviewing essential calculus skills. A minimum grade of C (not C-) in MAC 2311 satisfies the four credits of general education requirement and also satisfies the pure math portion of the state Writing/Math requirement. Academic Honesty Guidelines: All students are required to abide by the Academic Honesty Guidelines which have been accepted by the University. The academic community of students and faculty at the University of Florida strives to develop, sustain and protect an environment of honesty, trust, and respect. Students are expected to pursue knowledge with integrity. Exhibiting honesty in academic pursuits and reporting violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines will encourage others to act with integrity. Violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines shall result in judicial action and a student being subject to the sanctions in paragraph XIV of the Student Code of Conduct. The conduct set forth hereinafter constitutes a violation of the Academic Honesty Guidelines (University of Florida Rule 6C1-4.017) . The Mathematics Department expects you to follow the Student Honor Code. We are bound by university policy to report any instance of sus
