Text: The text, Calculus in Context, is available from the U of R Bookstore. You also are required to purchase a Calculus in Context computer disk from the Department of Mathematics for $1; details on when and how to do this will be given in class.
Course Objectives: - To learn to use calculus to construct and analyze mathematical models of such real world phenomena as the spread of an epidemic, population growth and decline, radioactive decay, and business profits;
- to understand the concepts and techniques from calculus used to model these phenomena, including functions and their graphs, successive approximation and limits, local linearity and differentiation, applications of differentiation to graphing and optimization, and differential equations and their solutions;
- to learn to use computer packages and programs to visualize, explore and analyze both calculus concepts and mathematical models;
- to improve your ability to think logically, analytically, and abstractly;
- to improve your ability to communicate mathematics, both orally and in writing; and
- to become better acquainted with the language and the methods of mathematics, as they actually are spoken and practiced by mathematicians, scientists, and social scientists

Time Commitment: You should expect to spend at least two hours studying outside of class for every hour spent in class. This means that for each of our 1 hour, 20 minute class sessions, you should plan to spend at least 2 hours, 40 minutes of quality time studying outside of class. Of course, if you wish to earn a grade of A or B, you may have to study more!
Tutorial Sessions: Open tutorial sessions will be held in Hentschke Hall, Rooms 102/103/104 (our classroom and/or the classroom down the hall) on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings beginning Monday,
Sept. 11 (or earlier). I'll distribute a tutorial schedule in class as soon as it's ready.
Instructor Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 2:30 - 4 p.m.; and by appointment. I often am in my office between 10 and 11 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and between 4 and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call first to make sure.
Text: The text, Calculus in Context II, is available from the U of R Bookstore. You also [are required to purchase a Calculus in Context computer disk from the Department of Mathematics for $1; details on when and how to do this will be given in class].
Examinations: There will be three 100-point examinations during the semester, on approximately March 4, April 11, and May 6. In addition, there will be a 200-point final examination, part of which will focus on what we study during the last week or two of class, but most of which will be comprehensive in nature. The Office of the Registrar has scheduled the final examination for [], 8:30 a.m. section; and for [], 11:30 a.m. section. The instructor reserves the right to administer 10- to 20-point quizzes with at least two class days notice.
Grading: Homework, 35%; quizzes and examinations, 65%

Individual tutors are available through the Student Development Center, which is located in Library 112 (basement of Armacost Library); just go there and ask to sign up for a calculus tutor.
Mathematics 106: Calculus II
University of Redlands, Spring 1994
Instructor: Dr. Janet Beery
Office: Hentschke 203D
Phone: x3118
Course Objectives: - To understand several important concepts and techniques from calculus, including Riemann sums and integration (Chapter 6); techniques of antidifferentiation and integration (Chapter 11); periodic functions and differential equations with periodic solutions (Chapter 7); and approximation of functions using Taylor polynomials and series (Chapter 10);
- to apply these concepts to such real world phenomena as velocity and motion, worker productivity, electrical energy and power, population growth and decline, spring force and motion, and pendulum motion;
- to learn to use computer packages and programs to visualize, explore and analyze both calculus concepts and mathematical models;
- to improve your ability to think logically, analytically, and abstractly;
- to improve your ability to communicate mathematics, both orally and in writing; and
- to become better acquainted with the language and the methods of mathematics, as they actually are spoken and practiced by mathematicians, scientists, and social scientists.
Homework Assignments: There will be a homework assignment, consisting of reading and exercises, corresponding to almost every class period. Ideally, you should complete the reading listed for each class meeting before the class meeting; certainly, you should complete it before attempting that day's homework exercises. The exercises are due at the start of the next class period unless I say otherwise on the weekly assignment sheet or in class. Late homework will not be accepted without prior permission. Your three lowest daily homework scores will not be included in your homework average.
You are encouraged to discuss strategies for solving homework exercises with me, with tutors and with your classmates, and you should check answers to computational exercises with your classmates. However, unless I say otherwise, the work you hand in must be essentially your own. A good way to help ensure this is to write up your solutions on your own, making sure that you understand each step as you write it out.
Occasionally, you will earn homework points for in-class activities and presentations. These assignments cannot be made up, however some of them may count as your one, two, or three lowest daily homework scores and thus not be included in your final homework average.
