Math 221 (Calculus III), Spring 2005

Section: 221.002 12:00-12:50 MWF, 12:15-1:30 R, 113 Maybank
Instructor: Dr. Kunkle, 4 Green Way, Room 202, k u n k l e t "at" c o f c "dot" e d u 953-5921 (office), 766-0943 (home).
Instructor's Office Hours: 10-11 M&F, 11-12 W, 2-3 R, or by appointment.
If you can't see me at these times, tell me, and we'll find a time to meet. You don't need an appointment to come to office hours, just a question.
Text: Calculus, Early Transcendentals James Stewart, 4th Ed.
Grades: Grades will based on a curve of 650 possible points. Each of the four (4) midterm exams are worth 100 points, the final worth 200 points, and the weekly in-class quizes are worth 50 points altogether. I will give no make-ups for exams without a written excuse from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and an unexcused exam will be given the grade zero, probably causing you to fail the course. If you must miss an exam, I expect you to contact me and the Dean as soon as possible (use my home number above). There are no makeups for quizes, but I'll drop your lowest two (2) quiz scores before computing their average.

At the end of the semester, I'll compute your grade two ways--with the quizes and without--and give you which ever letter grade comes out higher.

How to get an A: Do lots of homework, read the book, and attend every class!
After each class, do as many of the assigned problems as possible. Time permitting, there will be a short time to ask questions about these at the beginning of the next class. Exam tips: begin extra studying for the exam at least a week before the test; identify the different types of problems in the homework and the steps you must follow to solve each type; do assigned problems a second or third time as well as unassigned problems similar to the assigned ones.
Calculators: Although a calculator is of limited use in learning the marterial in this class, I will assume that all of you have a graphing calculator comparable to the TI-85/86. Calculators will be excluded from at least part of every exam. You may not use a TI-89 or any machine with symbolic capabilities on any exam.
Web Page: You can find a copy of the most current version of this syllabus on the instructor's web page, http://math.cofc.edu/kunkle/
Old Exams: Here are the midterm exams from Spring 2004, when I last taught Math 221 using this book and schedule. I can't say that our exams this semester will look exactly like these, but here they are for your information. I've shortened each exam here to one page by eliminating white space.

Assigned Problems: (* indicates a challenging but worthwhile problem. "5-25" means the odd numbered problems between 5 and 25, inclusive. "7-19 (all)" means all problems between 7 and 19, inclusive. "[39]" means that problem 39 is assigned, time permitting; ask me in class. "12.rev" refers to the review exercises at the end of Chapter 12.)
