Basic Information

Prerequisite

: A passing grade in Calculus I is required, but a grade of C or better is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Historical data suggests that students who get a D in Calculus 1 usually end up with an F in Calculus 2.

Textbook

Brooks/Cole - Thomson Learning Publishing Company, Pine Grove, CA, 2008,
ISBN-10: 0495011614.

Office Hours

: Some instructors will hold office hours in their own office. Other instructors will hold them in the Calculus Help Room. Here is the schedule for the Help Room. Any Calculus 2 student will be helped in the Help Room by any of the TAs holding office hours there.

Course Contents

The course will include most of the material in chapters 7 through 12 as follows:

Chapter 7:

7.1, 7.2*, 7.3*, 7.4*, 7.5, 7.6, 7.8

Calculator Policy

No electronic computing device, e.g. calculators or laptop computers, will be allowed on exams. However, students are encouraged to bring scientific calculators to class, and use them for some homework problems.

Exams

There will be 3 tests and a final exam. Tests 1 and 3 will be given separately for each section. Test2 (a.k.a. Midterm) and the final exam are cumulative, common to all sections, and given at the same time.

Dates:

Test 1	Friday	February 20
Midterm	Wednesday	March 11	LH-N	7:30-9:00 p.m.
Test 3	Friday	April 24
Final exam	Wednesday	May 13	GE-107	7:00-9:00 p.m.

Content:

A detailed content of each exam will be announced and posted a week before the exam. However, we expect it to be roughly as follows:

Test 1	7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4*, 7.5, 7.6, 7.8
Midterm(cumulative)	7.1-6, 7.8, 8.1-5, 8.8
Test 3	12.1-11, 9.1-2
Final exam(cumulative)	7.1-6, 7.8, 8.1-5, 8.8, 12.1-11, 9.1-2, 11.1-5, 10.3

Grading

The final exam will count for 40% of the course grade, and the midterm for 20%. The remaining 40% will come from tests 1 and 3, together with other items such as: quizzes, homework, class participation, trend (patterns in the grades as the semester progresses; for example, steady improvement is good, but a weak final exam is bad), etc.

Exam Conflicts

If you are unable to take an exam and have a valid reason, e.g. medical emergency, you should contact your instructor ahead of time to explain the reason and provide appropriate proof. Make-up tests will be given only to those who have a valid reason to miss it.

Check your final exams schedule to see if you have any conflicts. If you have such a conflict, you should tell your instructor about it at the start of the semester.

Homework Problems

Each instructor will assign homework problems. This list of problems should be considered as a guideline for minimum work to be done.

Supplementary Materials and Links

Here we provide links to documents you may find useful throughout the semester. They do not constitute and official part of the course, nor are they endorsed by the department. Use them at your own discretion.

Polar Coordinates Graph. A pdf file with polar coordinates grid on which you can conveniently make graphs of functions given in polar coordinates.
Visual Calculus - Step by step tutorial on the topics of our course. For Calc II see:
- Integration: Techniques of Integration, Numerical Integration, Improper Integrals.
- Sequences and Series: Sequences, Series, Power Series.
- More.
Visual Calculus has guided tutorials on almost all the subjects we're doing. You see a question posted, and work on it. If you click on the link, it will do one step of the solution. If that helps you, fine. If not, click again and it will show the next step. Thus, if you get stuck, you can get one hint at a time. It won't give away the answer all at once, so you can practice each step for yourself. Try it!
