OFFICE HOURS: M-Th: 9:10-9:50am and/or by appointment
(Be aware that office hours are not a substitute for regular class time)

TEXT: Calculus: Early Transcendentals (7thed.); by James Stewart, 2012.

CALCULATOR POLICY: Using a CAS like Mathematica or Maple can give more insight but it is not required. From time to time we will be using technology tools to get more insight into the topics.

MATERIAL TO BE COVERED (and Objectives for the course�subject to be adjusted along the way):

Depending on how you react, I may spend more or less time on a topic, however, all the topics will have to be covered, which means that you may have to cover some material yourselves, in the comfort of your homes, with me answering your questions the next class.

1-1 Curves Defined by Parametric Equation 10.1
2-3 Tangents & Areas, Arc Length & Surface Area 10.2

5-45 Exams, Review and Holidays

HOMEWORK: You are encouraged to do as many problems as you can from the book. However the standard (default) assignment for each week is to read carefully the indicated sections and to prepare for homework the problems I will assign in class. The homework will not be collected. However the exams may contain problems (or similar to the ones) from the assigned homework.

TESTS (tentatively): Two regular class-time tests (first test on Chapters 10&12; test two on Chapters 13 & 14) and a final exam (on Chapter 15) in the last class week (for us) on Friday; each test will contain 5-10 problems and will be worth 100 points. No make-up tests will be given except in extraordinary circumstances (e.g. illness - present verified doctor's excuse). I reserve the right to give pop quizzes (1-5pts), which will be used toward the final grade, as an add-on (extra credit) to the final score (to make up for the missed problems on the test). If the test dates will be changed (or the material that will be covered on each test) I will announce it in class at least one week in advance. It is your responsibility to stay informed of such changes.

GRADING: The number of possible points is 300 (quizzes could push this over). For the letter grade I will use the following scale (be advised that class participation will be considered, especially in the borderline grades):
275-300: A
250-274: A-
230-249: B+
210-229: B
190-209: B-
175-189: C+
150-174: C
140-149: C-
130-139: D+
120-129: D
000-119: failing grade.
An unresolved absence from either of the two tests or the final examination will result in a final grade of �FA�.

ACADEMIC HONESTY: Cheating in this course will not be tolerated and will be dealt with as harshly as the University permits. I will report any student behavior that appears contrary to the standards of discipline and academic honesty or in violations of the provisions described in the current edition of NPS Student's Catalog.

CLASS ATTENDANCE AND ENVIRONMENT:  You should do every attempt to arrive on time and attend each class. You are responsible for the material covered in missed classes. I do not tolerate any rude behavior; however, I encourage constructive comments on the material and/or lecture. We have to maintain a class environment conducive to learning therefore I am against bringing �active� cell phones, pagers, and other similar disruptive devices into the classroom. Children may not be brought into the classroom except in emergency circumstances and with my permission. When on breaks, please respect other classes in sessions and avoid disturbing them.

NOTES:
* It is a bit of material to be covered at a very fast pace, so, I advise you not to fall behind.
* If it is necessary, there will be updates of this handout. Make sure you check my personal homepage, regularly, for info on the course.
* Good luck ! I hope you will all master Calculus and make good grades!
