MAT 21B, sections B01-B05

Instructor: Prof. Matthias Koeppe, 3143 MSB, (530) 554-2817

Textbook: Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by Weir and Hass (12th edition, Pearson, 2010). We will not use the so-called Media Upgrade provided by the publisher of the book in our class. Sections 4.8, 5.1-5.6, 6.1-6.6, 7.1-7.2, 8.1-8.4, 8.6-8.7, 11.1-11.4 will be covered.

Grade: Course grade will be based on: Homework (20%), Midterm 1 (20%), Midterm 2 (20%), Final (40%). Grading will be on a soft curve, i.e., it is not decided ahead of time what final scores correspond to what grades, or what percentage of students get what grades. Grades will be posted on SmartSite.

Exams: Midterms and final will be written, in class exams. No calculators, other electronic devices, or notes are allowed.

• Midterm 1: Friday Feb 3 in class.
• Midterm 2: Friday Feb 24 in class.
• Final: Time and location as officially announced.

Homework: We use WeBWorK for all (graded!) homework assignments. Homework will be posted continuously. Please check for new homework and the deadlines yourself; it will not be announced in class.

Announcements: We use SmartSite for announcements and further resources.

Students with disabilities: Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Student Disability Center (SDC). Faculty are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the SDC. If you have any questions, please contact the SDC at (530)752-3184 or by email: sdc at ucdavis dot edu.

Help:

• For help, please go to the TA's office hours. You can come to any TA's office hours, no matter whose section you attend, so there are many office hours you can choose from. Our TAs are: Rex Cheung, Reuben La Haye, Emily Merrill. Hours are announced on SmartSite.
• With problems of mathematical nature, you are always welcome to come to Prof. Koeppe's office hours. Hours are announced on the faculty office hours page and are subject to change.
• For other (administrative) questions, in particular questions related to WeBWorK, contact the Lead TA: Naizhen Zhang.
• A valuable resource on campus is the Learning Skills Center. It has math drop-in hours in which you can receive help for Math 21B.
• At our Department of Mathematics, you will find Faculty advisors (for Math majors), Staff advisors, and Peer advisors ready to help you.
• The Math Cafe is an informal math group which meets regularly. Although the focus is on female students, everyone is welcome to attend.

No Make-Up Exams: There will be no make-up exams. A missed exam counts as 0 points. If you miss the final you will automatically receive an F.
