Announcements for the class will be posted here.

For your convenience, here's a link to the Homework page.


Course Description

This course is a continuation of Math 108 that further develops the concept of the derivative and its applications. Additional skill-building topics in trigonometry and college algebra, beyond those covered in Math 108, are covered as needed. The concept of the integral is also introduced. Satisfactory completion of both Math 108 and Math 109 is equivalent to the satisfactory completion of Math 110. (Credit cannot be earned in both Math 109 and Math 110.) Prerequisite: Completion of Math 108 with a grade of C- or better, or permission of the instructor. This course is being offered on a pilot basis for the 2018-2019 academic year. (Under the new GEC, this course meets the Quantitative Reasoning requirement.)

Homework

There will be written homework weekly. The homework will be turned in and will reinforce the matertial learned in class. Collaboration in the homework is permitted, however you must write your own solutions in your own words (or symbols). You must also support your answers with the intermediate steps you took to reach the answer.
You can find the homework assignments for this class below:
Homework.


Quizzes

There will be a weekly quiz. The quiz will be at the beginning of class on Fridays. The topics for each quiz come from the homework due the day of the quiz.


Exams

On the midterms and the final exam you must work on the problems on your own. No collaboration permitted in the exams. Also, no calculators or notes are permitted. I will provide simple calculators in the exam.
 
The first midterm will be on Monday February 18.

The second midterm will be on Wednesday April 10.

The third midterm will be on Monday April 29.

The final exam will be a cumulutive three hour exam.

The date for the final exam is Wednesday May 8 from 8:30am to 11:30am.


Attendance

Students are expected to come to every lecture and every exam. If the dates of the exams conflict with Lake Forest approved events, inform me as soon as possible.

Accommodations Statement

If you believe that you need accommodations for a disability, please consult with The Learning and Teaching Center. Since accommodations may require early planning and are not retroactive, please contact the center as soon as possible. For details about the services for students with disabilities and the accomodations process, visit http://www.lakeforest.edu/academics/resources/disability/.

You are also welcome to contact me privately to discuss your academic needs. However, all disability-related accommodations must be arranged through Teryn Robinson at the Learning and Teaching Center.


Description of instructional time and expectations:

This course meets 3 times per week for 4.5 hours per week. The course carries 1.0 course credit (equivalent to four semester credit hours). Students are expected to devote a minimum of 12 hours of total work per week (in-class time plus out-of-class work) to this course.

Academic Honesty

Please read the College's information on Academic Honesty. If a student cheats in an exam, quiz or homework assignment, I will proceed with charging the student with the Academic Honesty Judicial Board. The usual (first) penalty is a 0 in the assignment on which the cheating occured plus some ethics lectures the student would take. The second penalty is usually suspension.
