285 MAT FALL 2007 (TTh) CALCULUS FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES I Course Description: This is the first course in a two-course, terminal calculus sequence. It is designed to introduce students to the beauty and power of calculus. Topics include functions, limits, the derivative, tangent lines, curve sketching, exponential and logarithmic functions and the calculus of several variables. Applications to the life sciences are emphasized. Mathematics Requirements: MAT 194 or an equivalent pre-calculus course must be successfully completed before taking MAT 285. This course is the second course in the Quantitative Skills sequence MAT 194-285. This course is the first course in the Quantitative Skills sequence MAT 285-286. Text: Calculus for the Life Sciences, by Greenwell, Ritchey and Lial; Addison Wesley, 1st Edition. The course will cover Chapters 1 - 6 and 9 of the text. Calculator: We will be using the T184 calculator. A calculator with symbolic calculus capability (such as the TI89 or TI92) is not allowed for exams and quizzes. Some class time will be devoted to instruction on how to use the calculator. Course Format: The course meets two times per week. Final Examination: All mathematics courses numbered 400 and lower have a departmental final exam during the time block 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM pm on Wednesday, December 12, 2007. The MAT 285 final exam will be scheduled for a two-hour period during this block. The precise time and location of the final exam will be announced in class later this semester. SPECIAL NOTES STUDENTS PLANNING TO MAJOR IN A PHYSICAL SCIENCE, ENGINEERING OR MATHEMATICS SHOULD TAKE MATH 295. STUDENTS MUST TAKE THE FINAL EXAM AT THE LISTED TIME. DO NOT PLAN TO LEAVE BEFORE 2:30 PM ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2007. THERE ARE NO PROVISIONS FOR TAKING THE FINAL EXAM EARLY OR AT ANY OTHER TIME!! STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED SPECIAL CONSIDERATION BECAUSE OF ANY SORT OF DISABILITY SHOULD SEE THEIR INSTRUCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO DISCUSS ANY ARRANGEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE. RETROACTIVE ARRANGEMENTS NOT WILL BE MADE. Grading and Testing Homework and Quizzes: Your instructor will announce the homework and quiz policy for the course. Tests: There are three hour-exams, each accounting for 20% of your final grade. There will be no makeup tests. However, for excused absences, the corresponding portion of the final exam will be used in place of the missing test score. Test Corrections: An essential part of the testing process is to learn from your mistakes. Hence students not getting an A on a test are required to submit correct solutions to all of the problems missed. These corrections are to be submitted to your instructor one week after the test papers are returned. Final Exam: The final exam is comprehensive and accounts for 20% of the final grade. It is on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, sometime between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Do not make plans to leave campus before 2:30 PM on December 12, 2007. Grading: The final score will be computed on a scale of 0 to 100 from the tests (60%); homework, quizzes and test corrections (20%). and the final exam (20%). The final letter grade will be determined as follows: A 93-100; A- 90-92; B+ 87-89;B 83-86;B- 80-82; C+ 77- 79; C 73-76; C-70-72; D 60-69; F 0-...
