1720 (Calculus II)
Fall 2007, UNT
Lecture: CURY 211, 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 homework for this course. I will announce homework assignments
in class. The assignments are usually due on Thursdays at the beginning
of each class period. Late homework will NOT be accepted for any reason.
Your two lowest homework scores will be dropped.
Math Lab: You may want to check out the UNT Math Lab (in GAB 440) to get extra
help with the homework. Hours (Sep 4-Dec 7): Mo-Th 7am-9pm; Fr 7am-4pm; Sa
12pm-5pm (closed Sundays and Holidays).
Exams & Grading Policy: Your final grade will be based on homework (your two
lowest homework scores will be dropped), two midterms, and a comprehensive
final. The midterms will be on October 4th and on November 15th. The final exam
will be on Dec 11th. 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. 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 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.
Lecture schedule: The following Tentative Lecture Schedule gives
you an idea what material I intend to cover in this class, but note that
the schedule might change often. You are responsible for all
announcements/assignments made in class!
