Textbook: Elementary Calculus with
Applications (Lecture Notes), by E.
Devdariani
The textbook shall be available at the Campus Bookstore (probably after
the Christmas Break) and at Haven
Books , 43 Seneca Street,
(613) 730-9888. ( 5-minute walk from campus, two blocks from
Bronson along Sunnyside.)
Prerequisites:
Ontario Grade 12 Mathematics: Advanced Functions, or
an OAC in Calculus; or MATH 0007; or equivalent.
Lectures
for
Section A begin on Tuesday,
January 4,
2011, and
then every Tuesday and Thursday 2:35 - 3:55 pm, in
302 Azrieli Theatre.
Lectures
for Section B begin on
Wednesday,
January 5,
2011, and
then every Wednesday and Friday 1:05 - 2:25 pm, in
102 Azrieli Theatre.
Winter break: February 21-25, classes are suspended.
Tutorials: begin on the second
week of classes. On
the tutorial sessions the students are expected to work in small
groups or
individually on specific problems. A Teaching Assistant (TA) will
be
present, to answer questions and to administer the tests. The TAs for
this course are TBA.
(1) Term Mark 40% (4 tests);
(2) Final Examination 60%.
Note: to pass a course, a student must obtain at
least 50% of the total mark. Students who do
not
present any term work and are absent on the final examination will be
assigned
the grade of FND – “Fail No Deferral”.
Such students are not eligible to write a deferred examination.
Students who missed the examination may be eligible for a deferred exam, provided that they present a doctor note or another supporting document to the Registrar's Office. It is the Registrars Office (not the course Instructor!) that makes the decision of granting a deferred examination. Students who are granted a deferred examination for the Fall term write the same examination as the Winter term sections of this course. After the deferred exam is written, all questions should be directed to the School of Mathematics and Statistics and not to the Instructor.
Calculators
ONLY non- programmable calculators are allowed for tests and for the
final
exam. Any programmable calculator will be confiscated for the
duration of
a test or the exam. I reserve the right to disallow any calculator.
Homework
Students are expected to do every exersice from the textbook.
These exercises are not to be handed in and will not be
graded. However, to succeed in the course it is absolutely
essential to do the exercises on a regular basis.
The Tutorial Centre (1160 HP, in the tunnel)
This is a drop-in centre providing a one-to-one tutorial service for
Q-year and
first year students on a "first come first serve" basis. It is open on
TBA,
at the following hours: TBA
Students with disabilities requiring academic accommodations in this course are encouraged to contact the Paul Menton Centre (500 University Centre, phone 520-6608) to complete the necessary forms. After registering with the Centre, make an appointment to meet with the instructor in order to discuss your needs at least two weeks before the first in-class test. This will allow for sufficient time to process your request. Please note the following deadline for submitting completed forms to the Centre for formally scheduled exam accommodations: March 11, 2011.
Academic Accommodation:
You may need special arrangements to meet your academic obligations
during the term because of disability, pregnancy or religious
obligations. Please review the course outline promptly and write to me
with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks
of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is
known to exist.
It takes time to review and consider each request individually, and to
arrange for accommodations where appropriate. Please make sure you
respect these timelines particularly for in-class tests, mid-terms and
final exams.
You can visit the Equity Services website to view the policies and to
obtain more detailed information on academic accommodation at http://carleton.ca/equity/accommodation
