Objectives 

  1. Students should (a) develop greater depth of understanding of integration and its importance in scientific and engineering applications, (b) learn about series, including their convergence properties and their use in representing functions, (c) gain experience in the use of approximation in studying mathematical and scientific problems and the importance of mathematically understanding and evaluating the accuracy of approximations, (d) learn new ways of mathematically representing curves and how to use calculus in these settings, and (e) learn alternative coordinate systems which are natural for many problems and learn how calculus can be applied in these systems.

  2. Students should gain an appreciation for the importance of calculus in scientific, engineering, computer, and other applications.

  3. Students should gain experience in the use of technology to facilitate visualization and problem solving.

 

Outcomes  

  1. Students have improved logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

  2. Students have a greater understanding of the importance of calculus in science and technology.

  3. Students are prepared for further study in mathematics as well as science, engineering, computing, and other areas.

 

Assessment

The assessment of objectives is achieved through homeworks, quizzes, and common examinations with common grading.

Drop Date:  Please note that the University Drop Date March 31, 2014 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework:  Calculus is learned by solving problems. In Math 112, there are two kinds of homework assignments:  1) assignments which are written out by hand and turned in, and 2) assignments which are completed online. The homework assignments are listed on the syllabus; the * superscript denotes those problems which constitute the hand-in assignments while the remaining problems constitute the online assignments. The online assignments can be completed at www.mymathlab.com or www.coursecompass.com.  In order to complete the online assignments you need to have a student access code. Access codes are included with new book that is bundled with MyMathLab; they can also be obtained by purchasing the code separately at the campus bookstore or online at the course website. If you buy a new book from another source make sure it is bundled with MyMathLab. In addition, on the first day of class your course instructor will give you an additional code needed to access the homework assignments. NOTE: Homework Assignments are DUE frequently (at least weekly) at the dates and times specified online and by your instructor.

How to get started with MyMathLab:

       http://m.njit.edu/Undergraduate/UG-Files/Technology_Tips.pdf


MATLAB Assignments:  MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. Two MATLAB assignments will be given during the semester; tutors are available to help students having difficulties in accordance with a posted schedule.

Quizzes: Quizzes are given in class on a frequent basis (at least weekly). All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to help you prepare for the exams.

Attendance Policy:  Day sections of Math 112 meet four times a week; there are three lectures and one recitation hour. Recitation classes provide an additional opportunity for you to seek help with homework and concepts taught in class. Attendance at all classes (both lecture and recitation) will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Quiz Policy: Quizzes are given in class on a frequent basis (at least weekly). All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to help you prepare for the exams.

Examinations:  There will be three common midterm exams during the semester and one comprehensive final exam during the final exam week. Exams are held on the following days:

Exam 1:

February 12, 2014

Exam 2:

March 12, 2014

Exam 3:

April 23, 2014

Final Exam Week:

May 8-14, 2014


The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 pm for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 pm for evening students. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. Make sure you read and fully understand the department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Please note that electronic devices (such as calculators, cell phones, CD players, etc.) are not allowed during any exam.

Makeup Examination Policy:  There will be No make-up EXAMS or Quizzes during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.

Further Assistance:  For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available at the Math Tutoring Center on the second floor of Cullimore Hall and at CAPE.

Cellular Phones:  All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be switched off during all class times.
