Catalog Statement:
Math 211 covers essential concepts of differential and integral calculus; exponential and logarithm functions and functions of several variables. This course (together with Math 210) forms an introduction to calculus and related topics designed primarily for prebusiness students. Notice that Math 210 is NOT a prerequisite for Math 211.
Alternatives: Students in Engineering, Math, Physics and Science majors should take Math 221 rather than Math 211.
Prerequisites:
Advanced math competence -- algebra and suitable placement scores, or Math 112 or Math 114. Math 210 is NOT a prerequisite for Math 211.
Grades:
You will be able to achieve a total of 200 points in this class:
| Exam 1 | 45 |
| Exam 2 | 45 |
| Discussion | 40 |
| Final | 70 |
| Total | 200 |
There will be two in-class midterms and one final. The scores will then be curved. The precise curve will NOT be determined until after the final exam. No make ups for exam 1 and 2 and the quizzes will be given. If you need to miss an exam, please, contact your lecturer/TA. You will need to participate in the final to pass the class.
Exams:
Bring your student ID to each exam.
Homeworks:
Homework problems will be assigned during lecture. Solutions must be handed in to your TA at the due date in discussion.
Making the most of your calculus class:
attend the lectures and the discussion sections.In many years of teaching I found that nonattendance almost always goes along with poor grades.
start working on the homework assignments EARLY. If you cannot do a problem, ask for help. Hand in your attempts. Consider the homework as practice for the exams.
if you need help, don't delay. Go to see your TA or Lecturer. If you wait until almost the end of the semester, it is too late to make a significant impact on the grade.
Getting Help:
If you are having difficulty, first talk to your TA or Lecturer. If you cannot come to the scheduled office hours, make an appointment to see either at a different time. Here are some other places you can get help:
Math Tutorial Program
Please, contact, Dr David Camacho (321 Van Vleck) for that in the first 3 weeks of classes.
Math Lab:
The math Lab is is an especially good place to go if you have a quick homework question; more detailed questions are probably better directed to your TA.
Location: B277 Van Vleck Hall (across from the Mathematics Library)
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 8:30 pm, and Sunday 3:30 - 6:50 pm.
Dates: starting the second week of classes (usually), through the end of the semester.
Cost: Free.
Private Tutoring:
The Mathematics Department publishes a list of Mathematics graduate students who are willing to tutor students; copies are available on the second floor of Van Vleck Hall, next to the elevators.
Location: Varies; many tutors will meet in Van Vleck Hall: some will meet off-campus.
Cost: Fees vary from tutor to tutor; typical costs are $20 to $30 per hour.
Math Board
The Math Board is a wooden board with slots labelled for many of the departments mathematics courses (101 through 632); interested students can fill out a card with information about themselves (name, course, instructor, contact information), and put that card in the slot which matches their course. Students can also read the cards that have been placed into the various slots, and use the information from the cards to contact one another to set up study groups, etc.
