  2. Course Description MATH 1910 is a four-hour course, the first part (Calculus I) of a three-semester sequence (followed by MATH 1920, 2110). This course is intended to introduce first-year college students to the mathematical concepts, tools, and analysis necessary for a successful career in mathematics, science, or engineering. MATH 1910 is not intended for business students or life science majors, who should instead take MATH 1830. (Note: You may not use both MATH 1830 and MATH 1910to fulfill degree requirements.) The prerequisite for MATH 1910 consists of three years of high school math, including logarithms and trigonometry.These topics are covered in the two-semester sequence,MATH 1710/1720, as well as MATH 1730 (Pre-Calculus).

  3. Course Outline • A Review of Functional Analysis • Topics from Pre-Calculus • The Concept of a Limit • Differential Calculus • The Definition of the Derivative • Rules for Derivatives • Differentials and Differential Equations • Applications of Calculus • First and Second Derivative Tests • Optimization and Related Rates • Linearization and Quadratic Approximation • Introduction to Integral Calculus

  4. Textbook and Homework Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals,James Stewart, Eighth Edition Published by Wiley, managed by Cengage, which operates the website WebAssign (webassign.net). There will be several online homework assignments posted on WebAssign, leading to an online homework score which may then be used to raise your average at the end of the semester. The website also contains tutorials and other useful material. If you have a hard copy of the textbook, you do not need topurchase access to the publisher’s website, other than forthe reasons listed above.

  5. Grading Procedure Course Evaluation:There will be four 100-point tests and a 100-point Daily Average,which is based on quizzes and extra credit written homework. The lowest of these five 100-point scores will be dropped,and the next lowest may be replaced by the final exam score, if higher. Grade Calculation:The final exam is also worth 100 points which, along with the quizzes and tests, gives a total of 500 points. Divide the resulting total by 5 to obtain the semester average. If you complete the publisher’s online assignments and this homework score is higher than the average computed above, then I will add in the online homework score, giving a total of 600 points, dividing by 6 to give a higher semester average.

  6. Chapter 1 (Review Chapter)Functions and Graphs Analytic Geometry and Functional Analysis pages 21-22: # 23 - 68 (You do the odd ones, I'll do some of the even ones in class) Functional Composition and Coordinate Transformations page 43: # 9-24 page 44: # 33-42 Chapter Review: page 70: # 3, # 5, # 7, # 17, # 23, # 25, # 27 Questions similar to these will be on Wednesday’s Quiz # 1
