Prerequisite: Math 30 or equivalent. It is important that students have a good grasp of the material covered in Math 10, 20, and 30. Students who have taken Math 31 are encouraged to register in Math 114.

Calculators: You may find a graphing calculator, or a computer program like MAPLE or MATHEMATICA, helpful throughout the course. But neither is required. If you do not have access to a graphing calculator or a graphing program, a graphing program is available on the web site for this course. Use of a calculator during exams will not be permitted – have no fear, you will not need it.

Objectives and Course Content: The first course of Calculus is a basic mathematical tool for a large population of students. This course aims to provide the knowledge and to prepare students to solve optimization, rate of change and area problems using the basics of calculus. The material for the course will correspond approximately Appendices A, B, C, D and E and Chapters 1 through 5 of the textbook. Sections 2.4 and 4.9 will be omitted.

Final Grades: Labs 10%

Assignments 10%

Midterm Examination 30%

Final Examination 50%

Assignments: There will be 11 weekly assignments. The assignments are attached. The date and time assignments are due is given for each assignment. Assignments are to be placed in the slots that are labeled for each section on the assignment boxes on the third floor of CAB on the due day. Late assignments cannot be accepted since the solutions to the assignments will be posted on the course web site shortly after the assignments are due. Your assignment will be returned to you as soon as possible after grading. If you do not understand or agree with the grading for a particular problem, please check the posted solutions on the web. After checking the solutions, if you think an error has been made in grading, please write a note on your assignment pointing out the error and pass it in again with next week’s assignment. If you still think it has been graded improperly after it is returned to you again, please see your instructor. The assignments will be of equal weight and the grades on your best 10 assignments will determine your overall assignment grade.

Laboratory: You should also be registered in one of the laboratory section attached to your lecture section. Each lab section will meet for 50 minutes per week. There will be a quiz during the second half of each week’s lab. In order to help you prepare for the quiz, you are strongly encouraged to do as many recommended problems from your text as possible, before going to the lab. The list of recommended problems for lab preparation will also be posted on the web site for this course. The lab instructor will assist you during the first half of the lab with any difficulties you may have encountered with these problems. We cannot over emphasize the importance of your know how to do the problems before going to the lab. There will not be enough time for the lab instructor to provide assistance with all of the problems during the lab. Labs will start on September 12, 2005.

Examinations: Midterm: October 19 in class

Final: December 12 from 2-5pm

Course Notes: Course lecture materials written by Dr. I. Baggs, are available on the course web site in either (i) HTML version which can be viewed directly on the web or (ii) PowerPoint version which can be downloaded and stored on your computer. If you wish to print your own copy of the lecture notes, first download the “Download Version” to your computer. You can then print as many as 6 slides to each page. The instructors will check during the first week of classes to see how many students would like to by a copy of the Lecture Notes. The Lecture Notes can be purchased from the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences in CAB 680 from September 7 to September 16, 2005, fro 8:30 to 4:30.

Students Behavior: The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect.
