    Course Description

    This course is the study of differential and integral calculus.  Topics covered will include limits, tangent lines, def. of a derivative, derivative rules, area under a curve using summations and integrals, volume of solids, arc length of a curve, and applications of differential and integral calculus.

     

    Course Objectives

    This course will foster an understanding of topics and applications of differentiation and antidifferentiation.

     

    Student Learning Outcomes

    ·         Estimate limits numerically and graphically.

    ·         Determine limits numerically, graphically, and algebraically.

    ·         Understand the limit definition of the derivative and its interpretation as an instantaneous rate of change.

    ·         Find derivatives numerically, visualize derivatives graphically as the slope of the graph, and interpret the meaning of the first and second derivatives in various applications.

    ·         Understand the derivative as a function in its own right and use the local linearity of functions to obtain approximations from the derivative.

    ·         Demonstrate proficiency in differentiation and an understanding of why the various rules are true.

    ·         Investigate families of functions using graphing technology to observe their properties and the first and second derivatives to verify these observations.

    ·         Use derivatives in problem solving that requires sustained reasoning to reach successful conclusions.

    ·         Reconstruct a function from its derivative graphically, numerically and analytically.

    ·         Find the antiderivative of a variety of functions.

    ·         Use Riemann sums to approximate the area under a curve and to demonstrate this graphically.

    ·         Use integrals to solve projectile motion, work and hydrostatic force problems.

    Required Materials

    • Pencils, I will NOT accept any work done in pen.
    • Graphing calculator is required for calculus. TI-83/TI-84 is best.  TI-86 and TI-89 calculators will not be allowed on any test or quiz.   They are however acceptable on the AP exam.
    • Textbook, James Stewart, Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Fourth Edition.  I will check out books at the beginning of the year, please take care of them.

     

    Classroom Rules and Expectations

    ·         Be in your seat and ready to work when class starts.  This means materials are out, pencils are sharpened, restroom breaks are taken, and socializing is done.

    ·         Bring all materials (books, completed assignments, calculators, and pencils) to class each day.

    ·         If quiet time is given, you are to work on your MATH assignment.

    ·         Keep noise levels down when working in pairs or groups.

    ·         Cheating is not tolerated.  If you are caught cheating, you will get a zero and your parents will be notified.  This includes if you let someone “borrow” the homework you have already completed.

    ·         Absolutely no electronic devices are allowed in class during lecture/notes.

    ·         If you have an excused absence you will be able to make up the test in a timely manner.  There are  NO TEST RETAKES.  Missing a review day does not postpone a chapter test. 

    ·         If homework is not done when you enter the class it is considered late.  Late work will be accepted for half credit before you take the chapter test. 

    ·         Work must be neat and complete for credit.

    ·         Also homework scores are based on effort, all homework is worth 5 points.  Full credit will only be given if all problems are attempted, not completing even one problem will result in only partial credit.

    ·         If you are absent due to illness or family emergency you have one day to make-up the assignment after the one day the assignment is considered late and you will earn only half credit.

    ·         Pre-arranged absences.  If you will be out of class (this includes for all field trips, school events, and sporting events) you will be held accountable for the work due.  For instance if you leave prior to my class and return after my class for a field trip it is your responsibility to come turn in homework and get your current assignment from me or a classmate.  If you do not check that day’s assignment on the day it is due it become late work and will be treated accordingly.  If you do not have the assignment prepared for the next day upon your return it also becomes late work.

    ·         Because this class is a dual credit class, earning high school and college credit, you are held to student conduct policies for the high school and Clackamas Community College.  Please refer to the HS Student Handbook and the College Handbook http://www.clackamas.edu/documents/handbook.pdf

     

    Grading Scale

                            A         90 and above

                            B          80.0-89.9

                            C         70.-79.9

                            D         60.0-69.9

                            F          0-59.9

     

    ACC Grading

    The same grading scale and policies do apply to the Advanced College Credit.  However, the semester grades do not directly transfer to college grades.  The Mth 251 grade is calculated based on chapters 1-4 and the Mth 252 grade is calculated based on chapters 5-7.

     

    Advanced Placement Exam

    ·         There is a fee of $93 dollars for the AP Calculus AB Exam.

    ·         Test Format:

    Section I: Multiple Choice

    Part A: no calculator, 30 questions, 60 minutes

    Part B: calculator, 15 questions, 45 minutes

     

    Section II: Free Response

    Part A: calculator, 2 questions, 30 minutes

    Part B: no calculator, 4 questions, 60 minutes
