Book: Calculus by Thomas and Finney (9th edition)
Professor: Neal Brand
Office: GAB 418C (Tell the person at the front
desk that you are there for Dr. Brand's office hours.)
M-R 2-3
Grading: Grades will be based on three regular exams and a final. Each regular exam is worth 100 points and the final exam is worth 200 points. The lowest among your exam scores and 1/2 your final exam score will be dropped. This gives you a total of 400 possible points. To earn an A it is sufficient to make a total of 360 points, 320 for a B, 280 for a C, and 220 for a D.
Regular Exams: The regular exams will be given in class each Wednesday, except during the first and fifth weeks of class. The final exam is scheduled for Friday, August 10 at 12:00. If you miss an exam for any reason, that will be your dropped exam grade.
Homework: Homework will be assigned from the book and possibly from handouts. The assignments will be posted on the web. Although homework will not be turned in, you are expected to do all the assignments. The sections of the book to be covered are 9.5-9.7, 9.9, 10.1-10.5, 10.7,11.1-11.3, 12.1-12.9 (12.6 and 12.9 may or may not be covered), 13.1, 13.2, 13.4-13.7 (13.5 and 13.6 may or may not be covered). Part of your assignment is to read ahead one section of the book each day. For example, if one day sections 10.1 and 10.2 are covered, then for the next class day you should read section 10.3.
Web Page: From the UNT home page follow through the links through the College of Arts and Sciences, the Mathematics Department and Neal Brand’s home page to find the Math 2730 home page. You will find homework assignments, and other information concerning this class at that site. The URL is http://www.math.unt.edu/~brand/class/2730/2730.html.
Attendance: It is important that you come to class in order to master the material. Consequently, you are expected to attend all classes. However, after the first few days of class attendance will not be taken.
Extra Credit: Do not expect to be able to do extra credit work to help your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be no extra credit for this course other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam. Please do not ask for extra credit work to help your grade. Your best bet to help your grade is to do the required work at the time it is assigned.
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 for the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to
the appropriate dean. I expect no cheating in this class.
