There will be three quizzes on September 7, October 5, and November 30. Exam 1 will be on September
21, Exam 2 will be on October 19 and Exam 3 will be on November 16. The Final will be on December
14.

If you score higher on your Final exam than on your other Exams, I will replace your lowest Exam

score with the average of your Final exam and your lowest exam score. Homework will be given on a daily

basis and will be on MyMathLab website http://www.pearsonmylab.com and due every Monday night. I
will email everyone when I put the assignments up.

Exams

The quizzes, exams and nal will be short answer questions. The exams will cover all material in the
course. The exams and quizzes will not be cumulative but the nal will be cumulative. You can not use
your cell phone or other electronic devices during the quizzes and exams. If I see you using it on a exam or
quiz then you will get a 0 on that exam or quiz.

Calculators

YES. You can use a graphing calculator, but it is not needed.

for the course.

A scientic calculator will be ne

Also, there are several online calculators or algebra systems which you can use such as

Make-up Policy

There will be no make-up quizzes, exams or nal

except

for documented emergencies, and you MUST

email me before the quiz/exam. If you are able to make-up a quiz/exam, you will only be able to take it in
my oce hours. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to nd out what you missed and understand the
material that was taught.

CHANGES TO SYLLABUS

This syllabus is subject to change made by the instructor and posted or distributed during any class
session.

Academic Integrity
STUDENTS ARE TO ADHERE TO THE CAMPUS POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
AS OUTLINED IN THE CURRENT CATALOG. This is a college course, mature and respectful

conduct is expected. Everyone here has the right to a good education and students interfering with that
process may be asked to leave the class.

Respect for instructor and other students as well as academic

honesty are the expected basic rules of conduct. See Standards of Student Conduct in the current college
catalog under Policies and Regulations.

Cell phones and other electronic devices

There will be no mp3, iPod allowed while class is in session. Tablets and laptops for notes or class work
will be allowed. Turn your cell phone o or put it on vibrate. Do not let your cell phone disturb the people
around you or me, if it is a problem, then I will give you a warning. On the second oense, I will ask you to
leave the class until you can stay o your phone for the duration of the class.
Rules of Conduct

I will not tolerate disrespect in the class. Be respectful to one another. I will give you the respect you
deserve and you should give me the same respect back. You are all adults so act like adults to one another.
Side conversations that are disruptive will not be tolerated. Continued rudeness or disruptions may result
in being ejected from the class and, eventually, dropped from the course.
Student with Disabilities

Crafton Hills College is committed to providing educational accommodations for students with disabilities
upon the timely request by the student to the instructor. Verication of the disability must also be provided.
The Disability Support Services Oce functions as a resource for students and faculty in the determination
and provision of educational accommodations.
Student Learning Outcomes-SLO

The student will evaluate limits, including proofs, for linear functions.

The student will determine and analyze derivatives as appropriate to rst year calculus.

The student will recognize, dene, and use formal mathematical notation as appropriate to the course
outline

Course Ob jectives

Upon satisfactory completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Work with functions described numerically (by tables), geometrically (by graphs), algebraically (by
formulas, and in words.
2. Dene limits
3. Determine limits formally
4. Determine limits at real numbers for: polynomials, rational functions, piece-wise functions, trigonometric functions, composite functions
5. Dene and determine continuity of functions at a real number and over an interval
6. Dene the derivative and nd the derivative of a function as a limit
7. Dierentiate: Polynomials; Sums, dierences, products, and quotients of functions; Piecewise functions; Composite functions (chain rule); Trigonometric functions; Implicit functions; Exponential and
logarithmic functions; Inverse trigonometric functions, using the appropriate dierentiation formulas
8. Use the derivative to: Determine slope of the tangent line, nd the equation of the tangent line, rate of
change, and growth rate of a function; Solve related rate problems; Aid in sketching functions including
increasing, decreasing, and constant; Concavity; Inection points; Relative maximum-minimum (rst
and second order derivative test); Absolute maximumminimum (rst and second order derivative test);
Critical points; Vertical tangents and cusps
9. Solve applied maximum-minimum problems, optimization problems
10. Solve equations using Newton's method
11. Determine rate of change using dierentials
12. Dierentiate functions dened by an integral
13. Evaluate denite integrals as a limit and by using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
14. Integrate by using substitution
15. Apply integration to nd areas
