or the equivalent sequence M408N, M408S, M408M) . Mathematics majors are required to make grades of C-or better in each of these courses.  \n408C may not be counted by students with credit for any of Mathematics 403K, 408K, 408N, or 408L.  \nCourse description  \nM408C is the standard 􀀌rst-semester calculus course. It is directed at students in the natural and social sciences and in engineering. The emphasis in this course is on problem solving, and as such, doing the homework problems regularly is essential to succeeding in this class.  \nTopics covered in this course are the basic topics in the theory of real-valued functions of a single real variable: limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima,  \noptimization, integration, area under a curve, volumes of revolution, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions, and techniques of integration.  \nThe 408 C/D sequence proceeds faster than the 408 K/L/M or the 408 N/S/M sequence and is intended for students with good algebra skills (e.g., comfortable expanding, factoring, and solving quadratic equations) and background in trigonometry, elementary functions, and graphing (this material is reviewed in Appendices A-E and Chapter 1 of the text) . Students who feel that they may require more review are encouraged to come to talk with me about their background and options regarding course selection.  \nPolicies and requirements  \n􀀏 Calculators will neither be required nor permitted in class, however, a simple calculator may be useful for some of the homework problems. In general, exact answers (e.g. , 􀀙 rather than 3:14, or 1=5 rather than 0:2) are preferred, with the exception of homework problems which already use numeric values (e.g., Problem 2.1.6 gives a function y = 10t􀀀1:86t2 ; in that case, decimal values are preferable) . If you wish to use a graphing calculator while doing exercises at home, you should do so only to verify already obtained results; you will not be able to use any calculators in class or during exams.  \n􀀏 Attendance is required at all class meetings, particularly for exams (dates can be found below) .  \n􀀏 University policy requires that a student must notify each instructor at least fourteen days in advance if they are going to miss required course work due toa religious observation, unless the holiday falls within the 􀀌rst two weeks of the term. Should it be necessary to miss an exam due to illness or other circumstances, please notify me by email as soon as possible. If an exam is missed for good cause, either a make-up exam will be o􀀋ered or the student will be excused from the exam, and the weights assigned to other exams will be adjusted.  \n􀀏 Homework will be assigned weekly. Assignments will be posted on the BlackBoard course webpage, and you will be responsible for checking for them there. Homework will be collected on Thursdays at the start of discussion. Late homework will not be accepted.  \nGrading  \nThere will be 3 in-class exams during the semester and homework every week. The grades will be calculated as follows:  \n􀀏 2% Placement Exam 1  \n􀀏 30% Homework  \n􀀏 40% Exam average (in-class)  \n􀀏 30% Final exam  \nQuizzes may be given during the semester at the discret","cbCaivCpGyMcl2pP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivCpGyMcl2pP","pdf",143994,"English","# Prerequisites and degree relevance\n# Course description and topics covered\n# Policies and requirements\n# Grading\n# Schedule\n## Important dates\n## Lecture schedule","[{\"question\":\"What prerequisite determines placement into M408C?\",\"answer\":\"Prerequisite is the minimum required score on the ALEKS placement exam.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics are covered in M408C?\",\"answer\":\"The course covers limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima, optimization, integration, area under a curve, volumes of revolution, and trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions plus integration techniques.\"},{\"question\":\"How is student performance graded in M408C?\",\"answer\":\"Grades include 2% for Placement Exam 1, 30% homework, 40% in-class exam average, and 30% the final exam; quizzes may be added at the instructor’s discretion.\"}]","M408C Fall 2011 Syllabus | PDF",1790469831,15]
