TEXT: Calculus, 5th ed., James Stewart, Thomson/Brooks/Cole Publishing, 2003.
PREREQUISITE: Placement or MAT 121.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Topics will include the calculus of trigonometric and exponential functions, techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals, indeterminate forms, infinite series, and differential equations.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: In general, the course is designed to develop an intuitive and formal understanding of the concepts of the derivatives of trigonometric and exponential functions, techniques and applications of integration, infinite sequences and series, and an introduction to differential equations. With this understanding, the student should develop the conceptual understanding necessary to bring meaning to calculus techniques and ability to apply techniques in a variety of situations.
OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE: Specifically, the student will further develop an understanding of and techniques associated with the concepts of differentiation, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and integration, and infinite sequences and series. The student will demonstrate understanding of concepts and mastery of calculus techniques through written and oral explanations, graphical and numerical representations, and problem solving associated with application situations in paper/pencil and computer formats.
TEACHING METHODS: Concepts will be presented by methods of lecture, group discussion, and supplemented with graphing calculator and computer laboratory exercises. Both instructor and students will model calculus techniques. Opportunities for group and individual skill development and problem solving will be provided. Instructor/student and student/student interaction is encouraged.

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM: A scholar is characterized by his/her honesty and fairness. Therefore, a scholar neither gives nor receives "information illicitly with intent to deceive the instructor in his or her effort to grade fairly any academic work" (NCWC Catalog, p. 68). Also, a scholar does not take credit for someone's work without giving credit to the creator. The violation of these principles is academic dishonesty and will not be tolerated. The instructor will adhere strictly to the plagiarism and cheating policy as stated in the catalog on pages 68-69.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Support Services (DSS) at 985-5269 as soon as possible to coordinate and implement accommodations in a timely fashion. The Office of DSS is located in the Student Support Center, PC 188.
MATH 122: CALCULUS II
A Graphing Calculator (TI-82 or TI-83 preferably) is required and can be rented from Dr. Lawrence for $82.50 (to be refunded when the calculator is returned) on a first-come, first-serve basis.
