| Text: | Calculus, 6th edition, by C. Henry Edwards and David Penney. We will be covering Chapters 12 – 15. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Instructor: | Jake Bouvrie, 212 Physics Building, 919-660-2847, Email: click here to reveal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Office Hours: | Wed. 2-4pm, or by appointment, in my office (Physics 212). You can also email questions to me. Students should also make use of the Mathematics department Help Room (just drop in, no appointment necessary). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tutoring & Extra Help: | There is a whole system in place offering regular or intermittent tutoring for Math 103 at the Academic Resource Center. Visit the webpage to file an application. The services are on a first-come first-serve basis so get your request in early! | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lectures: | Wednesday and Friday, 11:40 am – 12:55 pm, Physics Building, room 047. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Requirements: | Weekly problem sets, three in-class tests and a final exam. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Homework: |
The weekly problem sets comprise what is perhaps the most important part
of the course because they force you to keep pace and stay in practice.
It is also very unlikely that you will do well on the tests if you do not
carefully and thoughtfully work on the assigned homework problems (at a
minimum).
Late homework will not be accepted, so be sure to get it in
on time even if it's incomplete.
Each covered section of the book has problems assigned from it which you must complete for homework. See the table below and the PDF syllabus for these assignments. For best results, you should complete the problems from a section shortly after that section is covered in class. Not every problem will be graded; different subsets will determine the score each week. Homework assignments for book sections covered the previous week will usually be collected at the beginning of class on Fridays. In general we will cover 2--3 sections each week; see the tentative schedule below for the material to be covered in each class. On the front page of your homework, please put your name and the section numbers of the problems. Multiple page submissions should be stapled. You have to show your work to receive credit for a problem. Constructive cooperation, in the sense of exchanging ideas about the exercises, is permissible for the assigned problems, but copying solutions from others or allowing others to copy from you will be considered a violation of the Honor Code. The Honor Code at Duke and the Math Department's policies concerning academic dishonesty are not to be messed with! There is NO "wiggle room".
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tests: | There will be three in-class tests. Here is a tentative schedule:
You can consult copies of tests given so far this term term by the various instructors of Math 103 on Blackboard under the umbrella site "Math 103 (All sections)", and then under Course Documents. There are also some additional notes written by instructors from previous years at the old Math103 website. Prof. Bray also has some helpful information (practice tests etc.) from previous offerings of Math 103 here. Some problems from the weekly homework will appear on the tests. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Final Exam: | The final exam will be Saturday, December 18th, 9am-12noon. It will be the same for all Math 103 sections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Grade: | Your final grade will be based on these requirements as
follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Calculators: | Calculators are not allowed on the in-class tests or on the final exam. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Missed Work: | Homework should be handed in on time. Unexcused late homework will not be accepted and unexcused missed quizzes and exams may not be made up. For special situations, (incapacitating short-term illness, personal emergencies, varsity athletic participation, or an officially recognized religious holiday) please see this webpage for forms and the procedures that must be followed. You should notify me as far in advance as possible. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ethics: | Students are expected to adhere to the Duke Community Standard. Please write and sign "The Reaffirmation" on all submitted work (homework, tests, and quizzes). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| You may (and are encouraged to) discuss the homework assignments with your fellow students and both offer and receive advice, however the final product submitted must be your own work. Of course, for in-class tests, quizzes, and the final exam, you must work completely independently without discussion with others. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Class Web Page: | The official source of information for this class
(outside of lecture) is the web page,
The syllabus, handouts, and other important information may be found on these pages. Please make a point of checking them regularly. |
