| Text: | The text for the course is Calculus Concepts and Contexts by James Stewart. |
| Coverage: | Most of the sections in Chapters 10, 11, 12 and a little of 13 as time permits. |
| Prequisite: | MA 126 (Calculus II) is the prequisite. |
| Grading: | There will be two in-class tests, each counting as 25% of the course grade. The final exam (Wednesday, August 4, 10:30 AM -- 12:30 PM) will be cumulative, and will count as 35% of the course grade. The remaining 15% of the grade will be derived from weekly quizzes, homework assignments, and lab assignments. There are no make-up tests or quizzes. Late homework and lab assignments can be accepted only with a compelling hard-luck story. An appropriate deduction will be made degree of tardiness. If you miss a test, a grade for that test will be extrapolated from the part of the final exam which covers the missed test. (Note: You cannot choose to miss a test after you have received the test in class.) Unless otherwise announced, the cut-off points for the letter grades A, B, C and D are 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%, respectively. |
| Audit: | If you are auditing the class, you will receive a grade of UA (unsatisfactory audit) if, in the judgement of the instructor, you do not consistently attend class. |
| Note: | Any student with a qualified handicap which requires accommodations should talk with the instructor after class so that arrangements can be made. A student must verify that he/she has a qualified handicap through the Special Student Services Office (460-7212). |
