Absence for more than one or two days needs to be documented by health services. Documented illness of this sort is an excused absence and will not be counted against your attendance grade. If you are seriously ill (running a fever, upset stomach) you should not come to class. Excessive tardiness may count as absence. In the absence of such statements, instructors have the right to deny a student the privilege of taking the final examination or of receiving credit for the course, or may prescribe other academic penalties if the student misses more than 25 percent of the total class sessions. In such cases it is expected that the instructor stipulate such requirements in the syllabus and that the syllabus be made available to students at or near the beginning of classes. They may establish both the number of absences permitted to receive credit for the course and the number of absences after which the final grade may be adjusted downward. Instructors may establish their own attendance criteria for a course. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes, laboratories and discussions. Students found using such devices may be asked to leave the class. Holding the cell phone in your lap and looking down to text does not make you invisible! All electronics should be turned off and put away before the beginning of class. Student use of cell phones and other electronic devices is becoming increasingly disruptive in class and is actually insulting to the instructor. If you do not meet that condition, see the instructor immediately for advice. A grade of C or better in Calculus I is strongly recommended for this course. At the start of each class be ready to ask questions about homework problems or about the previous lecture. Lectures can be interrupted at any time for questions. The material is a combination of theory and calculation, and it is necessary to understand the theory in order to do sensible calculations and interpret them correctly. The instructor may assign 2% of your total score based on attendance or classroom participation, and will decide borderline cases. When a student does not come to class, it is a clear message to the instructor that the student does not think he/she can teach them. Lack of attendance will most likely result in a lower grade. Regular class attendance is required for success in this course. The course material is vital to the study of Calculus III and Differential Equations, and is very useful in many other courses in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and in other departments (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Economics). Methods of representing functions as power series with a radius of convergence will be taught, as well as the Taylor series representations of a given function. Infinite sequences and series will be studied, and methods for investigation of their convergence will be taught (the integral test, the comparison tests, the ratio and root tests, alternating series, absolute convergence and power series). We will study several applications of integration, including: finding the length of arc of a curve, finding the area of a surface of revolution (even when the equations are given in parametric form, in rectangular or polar coordinates). Various techniques for integration will be taught (integration by parts, trig integrals, trig substitutions, partial fractions, and improper integrals). The method of L'Hospital's Rule will be taught for dealing with certain limits. Students will then learn how to apply the techniques of Calculus (differentiation and integration) to those functions. Students will be introduced to new classes of functions including the exponential functions, logarithm functions, and inverse trig functions. The main goal of Calculus II is to continue the development of differential and integral calculus started in Calculus I, including specific topics which have been found to be valuable for applications in many other fields.
