MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

DEFINITIONS:

ABSENCE - Failure to be present for a scheduled meeting of the class or arriving for the class more than ten minutes after the scheduled time for the class to begin.

TARDY --- Arrival to class after the instructor has called the roll and before ten minutes past the time scheduled for the class to begin.

I. Absences are counted from the first day of classes.

II. Five absences are allowed for a class that meets three times per week, and three absences are allowed for a class that meets two times per week.

III. Three tardies are considered as one absence. The student must meet with the instructor at the end of the class to which he has been late to have the absence changed to a tardy.

IV. There are no "excused" absences; all absences are counted, regardless of the reason for the absence.

V. A student missing class time by leaving early will also be counted absent.

Please note: You are responsible for all material and announcements presented, whether you are present or absent.

MAT 130 ELEMENTARY CALCULUS COURSE OBJECTIVES

Students should be able to:

1. Evaluate limits for algebraic functions.

2. Evaluate derivatives of algebraic functions

3. Solve problems in which the derivaive is interpreted as a slope, rate of change, velocity, acceleration, etc.

4. Use properties of the first and second derivative as an aid in curve sketching.

5. Solve maximum - minimum problems.

6. Differentiate logarithmic and exponential functions and apply this to solve growth and decay problems.

7. Integrate using basic formulas and the techniques of substitution and integration by parts.

8. Integrate to find areas under a curve and between two curves.

9. Solve problems by identifying what information is available and relevant to the problem.

10. Solve problems by selecting or developing appropriate procedures and relationships.

11. Solve problems by correctly applying the methods selected to the information available.

12. Solve problems by verifying the validity and appropriateness of the solution.


MAT 130 ELEMENTARY CALCULUS

Note: This outline is given for the regular Fall/Spring fourteen week semesters. The same material is covered in the summer term and the sessions classes, but in the appropriate fewer number of weeks: ten weeks for summer term, seven weeks for fall and spring sessions classes, and five weeks for summer session classes.
