Instructor: Daniel A. Ramras,
Assistant Professor, IUPUI Department of
Mathematical Sciences Office Hours: LD 247, M 5-5:50, W 3-5,
or by appointment. Contact
information: Please contact me by e-mail
at dramras@iupui.edu,
or by phone at (317) 278-4133. Please do not
contact me through Canvas (or Oncourse) as I
will be significantly slower to respond. All e-mails
regarding the course should be sent from IUPUI email
accounts (or other IU accounts). Course Description: 4
credits. This is the first course in a 4-course
sequence for Math, Science, and Engineering majors
(MATH 16500 16600 17100 26100), and is equivalent to
PU MATH 16300 and IU MATH M215. Topics include plane
analytic geometry and trigonometry, functions,
limits, differentiation and applications,
integration and applications, and the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus.
Textbook: Calculus,
7th Edition, by James Stewart, Thompson Publishing
Co. ISBN: 978-0-538-49781-7. Chapters 1
through 5 will be covered.
Course format: The sections of the text
covered in each class may be found on the course
calendar below. The lecture portion of the class
will assume students have read the assigned material
beforehand, and students should come to class with
questions about the assigned reading. If you do not
read the text before class, it will be much harder
to follow the lectures. Succeeding in Calculus: To succeed in this course, it
is crucial that you do the assigned homework
problems. Watching another person solve problems is
not a substitute for doing them yourself. You should
attempt the homework problems on your own first, and
attempt to write clear, complete solutions as you
would on an exam. Only after that point should you
look to others (students, the instructor, or the
Math Assistance Center) for help. It is important to look for help with the problems you find difficult. Working in groups with other students is highly recommended (but again, try the problems yourself first), and you should also take advantage of office hours (listed above) and the Math Assistance Center located in Taylor Hall (UC), Room B001 (http://mac.iupui.edu/). Attendance: Students are expected to
attend all lectures and to remain for the full class
period. Please
do not use electronic devices during class, except
for note-taking or viewing electronic copies of the
text. Web Page:

course information can be found at www.math.iupui.edu.
-Quizzes (20%),
-Mid-semester exams (50%)
-Departmental final exam (30%)
Failing or not taking the final
examination will result in an automatic course
grade of F. Final course grades will be determined as follows:
-90% or better guarantees a grade of A- or
above
-80% or better guarantees a grade of B- or
above
-70% or better guarantees a grade of C- or
above
-60% or better guarantees a grade of D- or
above Mid-semester Exams: There will be three in-class exams.
-Exam 1 (covering Chapter 1) will be held
Monday, September 15, and will count for 15% of the
course grade
-Exam 2 (Chapter 2 and Sections 3.1-3.5) will
be held Monday, October 27,
and will count for 15% of the course grade
-Exam 3 (Sections 3.7-3.9 and Chapters 4-5)
will be held Wednesday,
December 3, and will count for 20% of the
course grade Departmental Final Exam: All students must take the Departmental Final Exam on Saturday, December 13, from 3:30 - 5:30 PM, rooms TBD. You must pass the final exam in order to pass the course.
Course Announcements
and e-mail: Some course announcements may
be made through Canvas and by e-mail. It is
important that you check your IUPUI e-mail account
regularly, or forward it to another address. Campus-Wide Policies Governing
the Conduct of Courses at IUPUI: These can be found at http://registrar.iupui.edu/course_policies.html
The IUPUI Department of Mathematical Sciences expects all students to adhere to the regulations put forth in the "IUPUI Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct" concerning academic misconduct or personal misconduct. Procedures for imposing academic and disciplinary sanctions are outlined in the Code. The Code can be found at http://studentaffairs.iupui.edu/student-rights/student-code/
FLAGs Early Student
Performance Alert: http://registrar.iupui.edu/flag_eas.html The
FLAGS System provides real-time feedback on your
performance in this course. Periodically throughout
the semester I will be entering data on factors such
as your class attendance, participation, and success
with coursework, among other things. This
information will provide feedback on how you are
faring in the course and offer you suggestions on
how you might be able to improve your
performance. You will be able to access this
information in the student center: Onestart >
Student Services page > Student Center > My
Academics and Grades > My Grades. Withdrawal:
I hope that you will not need to withdraw from this
course, but if you do, be sure to process all
paperwork by the appropriate deadlines outlined in
the following table. For further information
see the academic calendar: http://registrar.iupui.edu/accal.html
A basic requirement of this course is that you will participate in all class meetings and conscientiously complete all required course activities and/or assignments. Keep in touch with me if you are unable to attend, participate, or complete an assignment on time. If you miss more than half of the required activities within the first 25% of the course without contacting me, you may be administratively withdrawn from this course. Our course meets twice per week; thus if you miss more than four classes in the first four weeks, you may be withdrawn. Administrative withdrawal may have academic, financial, and financial aid implications. Administrative withdrawal will take place after the full refund period, and if you are administratively withdrawn from the course you will not be eligible for a tuition refund. If you have questions about the administrative withdrawal policy at any point during the semester, please contact me.
