MATH 181 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I, Spring, 2003


BULLETIN DESCRIPTION: Study of functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.  Credit will not be allowed for both MATH 123 and MATH 181.  Prerequisite: MATH 117 or 122 or a satisfactory score on a departmental placement examination.  A graphing calculator is required… (see below).

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Ken Wiggins, 338 KRH, 527-2088

OFFICE HOURS: 3 M, 2 Tu-Th, 10 F, Other office hours by appointment

OBJECTIVES: After finishing this course, students should be able solve problems and to organize and effectively communicate ideas involving each of the following:

TEXT: Calculus, seventh edition, Larson, Hostettler, and Edwards, 2002, Houghton Mifflin

GRAPHING UTILITIES: An TI-89 or equivalent calculator is required for this course.


Assessment: All assessment will be based on both the correctness and quality of your work, including the quality of your presentation.

HOMEWORK: The surest way to succeed in MATH 181 is to study each day. To aid you in your study, homework problems will be assigned each day, and most of these will be collected and graded. Be sure to show your work neatly on these papers and to complete your work on time. Papers may be turned in one day late without penalty, but papers more than one day late will not be accepted.  

Calculus problems are expected to be challenging. Consequently, you should set aside at least 8 hours per week for study. If at any time you feel that you are falling behind, see the instructor immediately.

QUIZZES: Occasionally quizzes may be given over the lectures and homework.

TESTS: Three 50-minute tests will be given during the quarter. These tests must be taken during the scheduled class period.

FINAL EXAMINATION: This test is scheduled for 12:00-1:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 10.  Attendance is required, so make your travel plans early with this appointment in mind. 

CLASS ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend all classes. In addition, students are expected to give their full attention to the class discussions. Modifications in the homework assignments or test schedule may be announced in class.

DISABILITIES: If you have a physical and/or learning disability and require accommodations, please contact your instructor or the Special Services office at 527-2090. This syllabus is available in alternative print formats upon request. Please ask your instructor.
