This course is the first semester of an introduction to
calculus for students in the biological, social and management
sciences, and architecture. Applications of calculus to these
disciplines form an important part of the course. Concrete
calculations are emphasized and provide an opportunity to
practice algebraic skills introduced in earlier courses.

Students will sit in assigned sections of the room for the
midterm exams. Each student must bring his or her university
picture I.D. to the exams. Makeup exams will not be
given. If you have an excused absence for an
exam, the grade will be replaced by the average of the other
two exam grades. If you have taken all three exams,
the lowest grade will count for half. Excused absences
will be given only for valid medical reasons, University
business, or appearances in court. Excused homework or
quizzes will not be used in computing the final
grade. Make-up quizzes will not be given. Any
unexcused absences on quizzes or exams or unexcused late
homework will be counted as 0, including the final exam.
Any student with a valid reason to be excused from an exam must
contact me prior to the exam, either by email or by phone,
and present documentation
at the next class session attended. If you need to
be excused for a religious observance, you should let me
know as soon as possible, but in any case no later than the
end of the schedule adjustment period.
If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic
accommodations with me, please contact me as soon as possible.
Please check your final exam schedule. If there is a potential
conflict, contact me during
the schedule adjustment period so we can discuss the
situation.
E-MAIL: Students will get email
throughout the semester. Email is sent by a course reflector to
email addresses officially registered with the University, and
students are responsible for maintaining a correct address. If
your official email address is not correct, then click here to
update it.
Quizzes: Student participation in the recitation classes on Monday is an important part of the course. A short quiz will be given during recitation classes. Often the quiz will cover material introduced in the latest lecture. In such a case, quiz questions will usually be essentially the same as suggested homework problems. No makeup quizzes will be given. A missing quiz grade will be dropped only when you have a legitimate reason for missing a quiz. (Here "legitimate" is interpreted more liberally than for exams. Present your evidence to your recitation instructor, as soon as possible after a missed quiz.) At the end of the semester, the total of the quiz scores will be converted to a 100-point basis.
Please consult the following website regarding university
policy on academic dishonesty: http://www.shc.umd.edu/code.html.
You should be familiar with the University's policies on
Academic Integrity, including the Honor Pledge. In
this course: you are cheating on homework if you copy someone
else's work. It is fine though to have someone explain a problem
to you, or show you her work – you just have to write a solution
from your own understanding, without simply copying.
WebAssign
We will be using WebAssign
for homework. You are encouraged to do the WebAssign problems
and as many of the problems from the book as possible. Time will
be set aside during each discussion section to answer homework
questions, and your TA or I will be happy to look over any extra
work you have done, if you would like feedback. I will be
dropping several WebAssign assignments as well, so there will be
no makeup assignments for WebAssign.
1. Do not try to log on to WebAssign before the first day of
class – it will not be operating yet.
2. If you registered for the course later than the day before
classes started you may not yet be enrolled in the WebAssign
roster. If this is the case, please e-mail your full name to me
(jcohen@umd.edu). Wait until you get a response before going to
the next step.
3. Go to http://www.webassign.net/umd/login.html
and log in as you would to Testudo or any other University
site. This will take you to you WebAssign page.
4. Under My Assignments you will see all the assignments visible
to you at present. More become visible as the semester
progresses. You can click on each assignment to bring it up and
work on it.
5. Before the end of the second week of the semester, you will
need to purchase an access code to WebAssign. However, until you
are certain that you are staying in a particular section of the
course, just click Continue without entering an access code. If
you do purchase an access code and then decide to switch courses
or even sections, you will need to purchase the code all over
again.
6. When you do decide to purchase, it’s best do so online with a
credit card. You can also purchase WebAssign at the bookstore,
but the bookstore has a surcharge.
7. Some courses on WebAssign have an “enhanced version” which
costs more. You DO NOT need this.
1. For basic technical problems not at all related to
mathematics or entering questions into WebAssign, you can try
e-mailing support@webassign.net – for example, contact them if
you are having problems with your access code.
2. There is a preliminary assignment worth zero points that
teaches you the proper ways to use WebAssign, including the
necessary formatting for answers. Make sure that you do this
assignment! Otherwise, you will have difficulties with the
homework for the whole semester.
3. Each problem may be submitted up to three times, except for
the occasional true-false question which can (strangely enough)
be submitted twice.
4. Each student gets a slightly different version of each
question, generally with different values. This means you can
help each other with the prob- lems but not copy each others
answers.
5. Many WebAssign questions are case-sensitive, so make sure
that if it wants the letter d, for example, you do not give it
D.
6. There are two types of questions, symbolic and numerical.
Symbolic questions are indicated by the link saying symbolic
formatting help next to the question. If you don’t see this,
then the question is numerical.
7. Symbolic questions accept formulas, things like 4/(x+1) and
sqrt(2x+3).
8. Many of the symbolic questions have a little eye symbol next
to the answer field so you can examine what you typed in before
submitting it. This is very useful for checking your formatting!
9. If you are asked to give an exact answer, do not put a numerical
approximation. For example, if you are asked to put the
exact positive answer to x2 = 2, put down sqrt(2),
not 1.414.
10. Numerical questions demand a number for an answer, generally
closer than 1% of the exact answer. The only non-numbers you can
use in these are +,−,∗,/
Each WebAssign homework
will
state the due date and time (usually 8:00 am). It will be
on the previous week's sections. The first assignment will
also include sections 0.3-0.6, which you should read on your
own, as well as sections 1.1 and 1.2.
Quiz and exam questions will be similar if not identical to homework questions. I reserve the right to make changes in the syllabus that I feel are necessary. Any changes in the syllabus will be announced in class and posted to the website. Extra help is available during my office hours and in the tutoring room, MTH 0301.

Each Monday, you will meet with your TA, Karamatou Yacoubou-Djima or Stefan Doboszczak, in a small discussion
section. During this meeting, you will take a quiz. This is
also a great time to ask about the homework, or any other
questions you may have about the material
You have many opportunities to have your questions answered outside of lecture:
