Text: Calculus and Analytic Geometry (5th Edition) by S.K. Stein and A. Barcellos

Description: This course is an introduction to integral calculus and its applications. Calculus is the study of functions and it finds numerous applications in science and engineering. Some of the main topics are: approximating sums, fundamental thm. of calculus, integration techniques (substitutions, by parts, partial fractions, special techniques), areas, volumes, centroids, improper integrals, polar coordinates (graphing, areas), parametric equations, arc length. Sections 5.1-5.7, 6.7, 7.1-7.7, 8.1-8.6, 8.8, 9.1-9.4 will be covered.

Grading policy: There are 100 points possible in the course

• A homework is due each Thursday at the beginning of your discussion session, and counts for a total of 20 points. Solutions will be partly discussed during the discussion session. Hence, NO late homework is accepted. Due to the large number of homeworks being graded, I will choose some selected exercises to be graded by the readers.

• There will be 2 midterms, first on November 5 and the second on December 5, each counting 25 points.

• The final exam, schedule for Monday December 10 at 10:30am, will be comprehensive and counts 30 points.

• I will assign grades based on an statistical information of the points obtained by all students (I compute the mean, standard deviation, etc. and set letter grades according with those numbers). Roughly speaking the grade A means typically 86 points or more, B means usually between 66 and 85 points, C often means between 50 and 65 points, D and F are below 50 points.

  I plan to post the grades on the internet listed by student identification number. Please fill the permission cards or if you have any objections talk to me after class.

Important rules:

• New homework sets will be posted on my web page by Thursday evening. Please note that NO late homeworks will be accepted. Also there are NO make-up exams. In case you cannot make it to the discussion session you have to make sure your TA has your paper in advance. Graded homework will be distributed in the discussion session the week after. Homework that was not picked up at discussion can be retrieved from the boxes in the basement of Wellman hall.

• Check your UCD email and the course web page regularly.

  www.math.ucdavis.edu/~deloera/TEACHING/M21B/syllabus21B.html (this page!)

• Use of books, notes, and calculators will not be allowed on any exam.

Prerequisites and Expectations: MAT 21A or equivalent are a pre-requisite. If in doubt, ask me.

You are expected to work intensively outside the classroom solving exercises, reading the book, thinking about the theorems, etc. I estimate a minimum of 3 hours work at home per lecture. The most important thing is what YOU learn.

Make sure to work-out regularly (on your math that is), Don't fall behind and if you do, seek help early (from me, your TA, the Learning Skills center, etc).

FIRST HOMEWORK SET: Due Oct 4. 5.1: 7, 9, 21(b). 5.2: 3(c), 6(c), 9(c), 13, 14, 19(b), 26, 34. 5.3: 1(c), 7, 13, 23.

PRACTICE MIDTERM CAN BE FOUND CLIKING HERE
Another good way to practice is to solve as many exercises as you can from the review exercises in pages 457-461.

NO HOMEWORK DUE on November 9th

SIXTH HOMEWORK SET: Due Nov 16 (8.1) 4,12,18,26,33, (8.2) 1,6,8,9, 11,12, (8.3) 5,7,8,9

IMPORTANT NEWS: Following sections are now optional and you will receive an extra point if you finish them. (9.3) 2,8,10,25 (9.4) 2,4,10,15,22.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Final exam will take place Monday December 10 at 10:30AM in 1100 SocSci.

For students taking TWO exams: First exam will begin at 10:30am in 216 Wellman. You will get a 15 minute break at the end of the exam (12:30pm). The next exam will begin at 12:45pm. Students will be required to stay in the building during the break. 21AC are given first then 21B will be given last.

SOLUTIONS for second midterm are at HERE

The record of all grades (homeworks plus 2 midterms) is not available at the web due to a technical problem, but it will be available early tomorrow from me at my office (since 9:00am). After the final I will distribute the midterm exams and show you all your grades. Please check for correctness.

The FINAL GRADES will be posted outside my door by the last 5 digits of the student id and by section number on FRIDAY The statistical information is as follows: Out of 103 possible points the mean was 46.8, the standard deviation was 23.5. The maximal score in the class was 92.5. These were the numbers by which I assigned letter grades. The final itself had a mean of 14.6 and a standard deviation of 6.3 out of 30 points. Maximum score 29 points. Final grades were assigned according with the following ranges:

75 or higher A(-+).
52 to 74 B(-+)
30 to 51 C(-+)
24 to 29 D
less than 24 F

Obviously from this information you can estimate your performance in the final. If you wish to know your exact note, wish to see your final, or think there is need of a correction please send me email to make an appointment. Please bring homeworks/midterms when making a claim of error.
