Course description

MATH 176 - Calculus Technology II
Prerequisite: Math 175.
Calculus with emphasis on problems of interest to engineering technologists. Includes integration, infinite series, and differential equations.

Syllabus type information

Contact information for me is available here.

This class meets MWF from 9:00-9:50, in Wilson 1-132.

The textbook for this class is Technical Calculus - Fifth edition by Ewen, Gary, and Trefzger.

Grades for this class will be determined by three 100 point in class exams, 100-200 points from homework, quizzes, etc., along with a 200 point cumulative final Plus/minus grades will be used on your final grade.

Important dates

There are no classes on Sept 5 (Labor day),Nov 11 (Veteran's day), and Nov 24,25 (Thanksgiving holiday).

All test dates are yet to be determined with the sole exception being that our last test will be during our assigned final exam time Friday Dec 16, 8:00-9:50 am. All other exams will be announced in class and will appear on this web-site when a day for them has been selected.

Make-up policy

Homework may be turned in late for a reduced score (extremely late work will have an extremely reduced score).

Quizzes are, under most circumstances, available only during the time that they are initially given (Sometimes announced in advance, sometimes not). If you end up missing a quiz for some reason don't despair at the end of the term I drop the lowest one fifth of your quiz grades and average the rest to come up with your quiz grade.

Tests can only be taken other than the scheduled time if arrangements are made in advance and a valid and admissible reason for not attending the scheduled time is provided. People that miss tests without making arrangements in advance are not likely to be able to take that exam. There are, of course, exceptions for extraordinary circumstances.

Important Information!!! Please note that our final exam is to be given on Friday of finals week. Keep this in mind when purchasing plane tickets, or making other travel arrangements, for the close of the fall term. "I want to leave campus early" is not a valid reason to miss the scheduled examination time.

Other information

A course calendar and/or a list of homework assignments will become available as the semester progresses. Also a listing of test dates when they are chosen. Once posted these items/dates may change so be sure to check them regularly.

Make sure to take a look at my office hours posted on my schedule and drop in if you have any questions. If those hours don't work for you you can always just stop by and maybe I'll be in, or you can schedule an appointment during any of my non-blocked out times.

Additional help can be had at the Math Learning Center (Wilson Hall 1-110) M-F, 9-3. It is staffed by various graduate students who love to help out on tough homework problems. I am in there Monday during the ten o'clock hour but help is available at all the other times too!
