Calculator
A graphing calculator is required for this course. Either the TI-83 or TI-84 is preferred, and as a matter of fact, highly recommended. A TI-89 or a similar calculator with a computer algebra system is not allowed on examinations.
Course Structure and Grading Policies
Your final score for the course will be computed as follows:
-
Homework
15% of the course grade. Starting on August 29th, a selection of problems from your textbook will be posted through MyOpenMath on the day of the lecture, and will be graded. You will have until the end of the next class day to complete the assignment (e.g. what is posted on Tuesday is due on Thursday at 11:59 PM; what is posted on Thursday is due on Tuesday at 11:59 PM).

Quizzes
15% of the course grade. At least a quiz will be given weekly except the week of a test, the first or the last week of classes.
-
Tests
Each test counts 10%, for a total of 40% of the course grade. There will be four in-class tests tentatively scheduled as follows:
Test # Date 1 Tue, Sep 18 2 Tue, Oct 16 3 Thu, Nov 08 4 Tue, Nov 20 -

- Section 011: Thursday, December 13th at 9:00 AM
- Section 015: Tuesday, December 11th at 4:00 PM
- Participation in an authorized University activity (such as musical performances, academic competitions, or varsity athletic events in which the student plays a formal role in a University sanctioned event.)
- Required participation in military duties.
- Mandatory admission interviews for professional or graduate school which cannot be rescheduled.
- Participation in legal proceedings or administrative duties that require a student’s presence.
- Death or major illness in a student’s immediate family.
- Illness of a dependent family member.
- Religious holy day if listed on [www.interfaithcalendar.org].

- Weather-related emergencies.
The course grade will be determined as follows:
| GRADE | RANGE |
| A | 90%-100% |
| B+ | 86%-89% |
| B | 80%-85% |
| C+ | 76%-79% |

| F | below 60% |
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is mandatory. Penalties to your final grade apply as follows:
-
Students missing three sessions will have a penalty of 5 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a half-letter penalty, e.g. from C to D+).
-
Students missing five sessions will have a penalty of 10 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a full-letter penalty, e.g. from B to C)
-
Students missing seven sessions or more will have a penalty of 15 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a letter-and-a-half penalty, e.g. from A to C+)
-
Dishonesty
Students whose names appear on the attendance sheet, but are not present in class, will have immediately applied an extra penalty of 5 points in their final grade.

Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully completes Applied Calculus (MATH 122) will master concepts based on derivatives and integrals of elementary algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will be able to solve (with and without the aid of a graphing calculator) applications involving maxima, minima, rates of change, motion, work, area under a curve, and volume. Students will be able to verbally interpret data given as graphs, tables, and equations, and put into words the relationship between a function and its derivative or integral.
