OFFICE HOURS: (Hours)

PREREQUISITE: MS 112 or satisfactory score on ACT or the departmental placement test/SAT

TEXTBOOK: Applied Calculus, Barnett/Ziegler, 8th Edition, 2003

COURSE CONTENT: (Calculus) 3.1-3.7; (Graphing and Optimization) 4.1-4.5; (Additional Derivative Topics) 5.1-5.5; (Integration) 6.1-6.2, 6.5; (Additional Integration Topics) 7.1; (Multivariable Calculus) 8.1-8.2, 8.4, 8.6

COURSE OBJECTIVE: To give students the foundations of functions, derivatives, and integrals with applications to business and economics.

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING: Four major exams (55% of grade), homework and outside assignments (15% of grade), and final exam (30% of grade)

Homework is due on the day scheduled on the course assignment sheet. Late homework will be taken the next class meeting, but you will lose 5 points. No homework will be taken any later.

ATTENDANCE: Class attendance is very important and you are urged to be present for each session to successively pass and obtain maximum benefit from this course. Statistics have definitely shown that grades improve with better attendance. Students must attend 80% of the class meetings, or at least 21 class meetings. Absences are counted from the first day, regardless of when a student registers. If you are tardy, please be sure to check with me after class since a tardy will be counted as an absence if not removed. Any student who does not attend at least 80% of the class meetings will receive a F grade for the course. If you have 0 absences at the end of the semester, you will have 10 bonus points; 1-3 absences, 5 bonus points; 4-5 absences, 0 bonus points. I also urge you to be prepared when you come to class. Maximum learning comes from adequate preparation.

COURSE POLICY: If you miss taking a scheduled exam, then you may take a make-up exam if you have a legitimate reason for missing the exam: sickness or an emergency, participation in a scheduled University event of which the instructor has been given prior notice, or other reasons with instructor approval prior to the exam. It is the responsibility of the student to request a make-up exam. Students must adhere to the University policy for academic honesty as specified in the JSU Student Handbook. Any student receiving a failing grade on any assignment or exam is urged to come by my office and talk with me. Special accommodations for this course (school events, personal crises, any person qualifying for reasonable accommodations under The Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, etc.) should be addressed to me as soon as possible. If you must leave early during any class, please let me know before class. There will be no profanity used in the classroom. Please refrain from using such language. All students are expected to attend class fully prepared with appropriate materials and all devices which make noise turned to the off position (e.g., cellular phones, pagers, personal stereos, etc.). Any student behavior deemed disruptive by the instructor will result in expulsion of the student from the classroom, with an absence for the day and possible disciplinary action.
