Math
1720 (Calculus II)
Fall 2002, UNT
Lecture: GAB 206, TR 9:30-10:50am
Instructor: Professor
Olav Richter
Course Description: In Math 1720, we will cover differentiation and
integration of trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and transcendental
functions. We will investigate various integration techniques and also improper
integrals. Furthermore, we will discuss sequences, infinite series, power
series, and if time permits, Taylor's theorem.
Prerequisites for Math 1720: Math 1710.
Textbook:
Homework: Here
is a complete list of recommended homework for this course. The homework is not
an official part of your grade, but it is very important that you work on the
homework to be prepared for the quizzes and exams. Quiz and exam problems are
typically closely related to the homework problems.
Math Lab: You may want to check out the UNT Math Lab (in GAB 440) to get extra
help with the homework. Hours (Sep 3-Dec 6): Mo-Th 7am-8pm; Fr 7am-4pm; Sa
12-4pm (closed Sundays and Holidays).
Exams & Grading Policy: Your final grade will be based on quizzes, two
midterms, and a comprehensive final. Quizzes may be given at the beginning of
any class meeting and will never be announced. You should always be prepared to
take a quiz. There will be more than 10 quizzes (probably 13), but only your 10
best quizzes will count towards your overall grade. There will be NO make up
quizzes! The midterms will be on October 3rd and on November 14th. The
final exam will be on December 10th. Please make sure that you are available at
those dates, since there will be NO make up exams!
The grade is comprised of
You are encouraged to study
together and help each other throughout the semester. If everyone does well,
everyone will receive a good grade.
Expectations: A fair amount of work is involved in learning calculus.
You are expected to come to lecture on time. Plan ahead so you are not late.
You should come to every lecture, and come prepared. If you have to miss class
or if you are late for some unavoidable reason, you might miss a quiz (remember
that there will be NO make up quizzes). It is your responsibility to obtain
notes from another student if you miss class. You are expected to read the
assigned sections and work on the recommended homework problems immediately
after they are assigned. You should be prepared to ask questions, take notes,
and look alive in class. Please bring your text book to class and leave the
cell phone at home. Repeat: NO CELL PHONES OR PAGERS!!! In addition to
attending lecture, you should spend at least 6 hours per week on my course.
Extra Credit: Do NOT expect to be able to do some extra work to help
your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be NO extra credit
other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam.
Some Advice: Math is not a spectator sport. Work through problems
and examples and text, instead of just reading. Make many notes in the margins
and redo each and every example from the book and from lecture. You will not
learn calculus from watching the professor or friends display ideas and solve
problems. You must try problems, finish problems, ask questions, correct your
mistakes, put concepts in your own words, and practice, practice, practice! The
good news: A small increase in effort usually results in a big increase in
success!
Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with certified
disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the
Dean of Students Office.
Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating will receive an F
in the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean.
