Math 220 Section 01** Course Outline

Department of Mathematics
Fall2009 - Dr. Michelle Hugue

Content: Math 220 is a three credit course on calculus for the
business and social sciences. What this means is that the course is
geared around applications instead of around the underlying theory.
This does not mean there is no theory, just that its importance is
reduced. We will cover all the fundamental results of basic calculus
and how they can be used to analyze real-world situations.

History: It is assumed that you remember the basics from math 113 or
some decent algebra course.  Essentially if you ever have a question
which begins with \Do we need to remember..." then the answer is
\Yes!" Feel free to ask for more specics.


Materials: Calculus & Its Applications, Twelth Edition, by Goldstein,
Lay, Schneider, Asmar (ISBN 0321643658). The solution guide is
recommended but not required. You will be required to have a
calculator for homework but calculators will not be permitted on
quizzes and exams.

Exams: There will be three exams each worth 100 points each and a
cumulative final exam worth 200 points.

Quizzes: You will have an in-class quiz during recitation  (nearly) each Thursday.

Homework: The department currently uses WebAssign on-line homework for
many of its classes and we will use it for MATH 220. If you have not
used this system before, please note that it takes a week or two to
get over the initial learning-curve frustration. Please have patience
and ask for help from both me and your TA. The WebAssign due dates are
listed online but in general the homework corresponding to each Monday
and Wednesday is due no earlier than 48 hours after the lecture in
which it is covered(TBD on WebAssign). There are a few exceptions to
this; so, check, don't assume. But, also, give me a few days to
get the webassign due dates aligned with lecture. Modifying numbers
is not my strong point.

Grading:
Exams 100
Quizzes 100
Homework 100
Final Exam 200
Total Points 700
