SYLLABUS:

The course (4 credits) roughly covers the definite integral, techniques of integration, applications of integration, introduction to sequences and series. More precisely, you will study
Chapter 5: Integrals. Sections 5.1-5.6 (the derivation, in Section 5.6, of properties of the logarithm and integral is not examination material).
Chapter 6: Applications of Integration. Sections 6.1-6.3 (Section 6.4 is not examination material).
Chapter 7: Techniques of Integration. Sections 7.1-7.5; 7.8 (Sections 7.6, 7.7 are not examination material).
Chapter 8: Further Applications of Integration. Sections 8.1, 8.2 only.
Chapter 9: Differential Equations. No part of this chapter is examination material; however, students are urged to read Section 9.4 Exponential Growth and Decay.
Chapter 10: Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates. Sections 10.1-10.5 (Sections 10.6, 10.7 are not examination material).
Chapter 11: Infinite Sequences and Series. Sections 11.1-11.7 only.

TIMETABLE FOR LECTURE:

WeBWork ASSIGNMENTS:

There are 6 assignments. The first one is on May 8, the second to the sixth are due, respectively, on May 13, 16, 20, 24 and 28. We will be using the WeBWork system, developed at the University of Rochester, which is designed to expose you to a large number of drill problems, and where plagiarism is discouraged. WeBWork is accessible only over the Web at http://msr01.math.mcgill.ca/webwork/m141c. Your login name is your DAS username (the part of your po-box email address that precedes the @ ). Your initial password is your student number. For security, I suggest you change the passward to a new one in your first access.

TUTORIALS AND QUIZZES:

The tutorial hours are 13:00-16:00 MW. Ms. Mahta Khosravi is in charge of it. Her email is khosravi@math.mcgill.ca. There are 2 short quizzes, administered at the tutorials. No provision is being made for students who miss a quiz: the grading formula permits the quiz component of the final grade to be replaced by the final examination grade, if this is to the student's advantage.

FINAL EXAMINATION:

It is a 3-hour long examinationn held on May 28, 14:00-17:00, Room: LEA 14 & 15, which covers all topics mentioned in the Syllabus.

GRADING POLICY:

Assignment work: 20%; Quizzes: 20% (or 0%); Final Examination: 60% (or 80%). Where a student's performance on the final examination is superior to her/his performance on the tutorial quizzes, the final examination grade will replace the quiz grade in calculations. It is not planned to permit the examination grade to replace the grade on WeBWork assignments.
