Course Information:

Textbook. The course textbook is Thomas' Calculus---Early Transcendentals, Single Variable, Thirteenth Edition, Addison Wesley, ISBN--10: 0321628837
A copy of the textbook and the student solutions manual are on reserve in the Mathematics Library on the 4th floor of Malott.

Grading. Grades will be computed using the following point break-down:

Note that your section grade will be based on some combination homework, class participation, attendance, and in-class weekly quizzes.

Problem sets. Homework is the most important part of Math 1110, since mathematics is really learned by doing it. No matter how well you think you understand the material presented in lectures, you won’t truly learn it until you do the problems.
You are free to devise whatever strategy for learning the material that suits you best. This may involve collaboration with other students. We believe, however, that for maximum benefit, you should try hard to do all the problems yourself before consulting others. What you turn in should represent your own solutions expressed in your own words, even if you arrived at these solutions with others. Remember, you are doing the homework to learn the material; do not try to defeat its purpose. Homework will only be a small component of your final grade.
Each homework will consist of two parts: book questions and presentation questions.
Text exercises are a selection of exercises from the textbook intended to give you practice on the calculus techniques taught in the course. To get the hang of them, you may like to try some of the odd–numbered questions and then check your answers against those in the back of the book. Book problems will only be graded for completeness.
Presentation problems are more involved, somewhat in the style of the questions on the prelims and final exam. They will be graded in detail for accuracy and quality of exposition. Explain your answers carefully in complete, mathematically and grammatically correct sentences. The graders will give you written feedback on these problems.
Homework assignments will be due in class generally on Tuesdays and Fridays. Papers should be stapled and your name clearly indicated. Late homework will not be accepted. If you have a medical excuse or other serious circumstances, do let me know. The lowest homework score will be dropped (as everyone has a bad week sometime).
We expect homework to be graded and returned within a week. Model solutions for the presentation problems will be posted on the website. More terse solutions will be posted for the text exercises.

Outside Help. Both instructors and TAs will hold office hours in Malott as listed on the website. There is also a team of mathematics tutors dedicated to helping Cornell Summer Session Students. Their hours are Sunday-Thursday 7:00 - 9:30pm in 3423 & 3424 Balch Hall, Carol Tatkon Center, starting June 23rd until August 4th.

Synopsis. Math 1110 focuses on functions and graphs, limits and continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trig, logarithmic, and exponential functions. It includes applications of differentiation, such as graphing functions, max-min problems, tangent line approximation, and implicit differentiation. We will also discuss the Mean Value Theorem, antiderivatives, definite and indefinite integrals. The course culminates with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The last few topics include substitution in integration, and the area under a curve.

Credit and Prerequisites.
Math 1110 is a 4--credit course, so you should plan on spending 15 hours per week outside of lectures working on it. If you are working more than that and still feel that you are not keeping up, please talk to me as soon as possible. Students may not receive credit for both Math 1110 and Math 1106. In preparation for this course, you should have completed high school algebra and trigonometry, or a course entitled precalculus mathematics.

Please note that you are expected to abide by Cornell University's guidelines for academic integrity.

Note to Students with Disabilities. It is Cornell policy to provide reasonable accommodations to students who have a documented disability (e.g., physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, or systemic) that may affect their ability to participate in course activities or to meet course requirements. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact Student Disability Services and their instructors for a confidential discussion of their individual need for academic accommodations. Student Disability Services is located in 420 Computing and Communications Center. Staff can be reached by calling 607-254-4545 or through their website http://sds.cornell.edu. Please notify the instructor of any need for accommodations as early as possible.
