Course Information
Course Textbook: Calculus Early Transcendentals,
by J. Rogawski, W.H. Freeman and Company (ISBN # 1-4292-1113-X).
For extensive course material please consult the Math 251 course page. The prerequisite for 650:251 is Calculus II. It is suggested that you have a calculator for this course, though all of
my quizzes and exams will be written so that you can complete them
without one; helpful instructions and tutorials on using Maple to further study the course material and complete the 4 required workshops are also listed on the above course page.
There will be two examinations during the term, and a cumulative
final. Lecture schedule and approximate exam dates are listed in the syllabus; please
contact me TWO WEEKS prior to any exam if you have an excused
absence. Weekly homework and quizzes will typically be due on Tuesdays.
While I do not require attendance, you will be responsible for all the
material covered in lecture, including announcements, changes to
homework as well as the corresponding sections assigned from the text.
Grading Scheme: 100 HW/Quiz/Maple Labs, 200 Midterms (100 each), and 200 Final.
It is also important for you to know the Rutgers University Interim Academic Integrity Policy.
Changed homework/quiz due dates will be announced in
class. There will be no late homeworks or quizzes without a
documented reason (medical note, varsity sports event, etc.).
Black exercises are quizzed during recitation. Pink exercises are exam practice.
