Course syllabus: Here is the course syllabus subject to minor but not major change. Most of the material will be from the text. Topics below will be covered as time permits; we will probably not have time to cover everything.

1. Integration

2. Methods and Applications of Integration

3. Multivariable Calculus

4. Differential Equations

5. Probability

6. Sequences and Series

7. Additional Topics (if time permits)

Assignments: There will be a total of 9 assignments for this course. Weekly assignments are to be submitted in the drop boxes outside the Applied Calculus Workshop by Monday at 5:30 p.m. Remember to include a cover sheet with your assignment, and for the assignments without a standard cover page one mark will be deducted.
Assignments will be worth 10 points each: 2 points for completeness, and 4 points each for 2 randomly selected questions. Late homework will not be accepted, but everyone's lowest homework score will be dropped in order to account for unexpected absences. Early homework is accepted if clearly labeled 'EARLY' with the due date (e.g. EARLY, Due 20 Oct.).

Midterm: There is two 50 minutes midterm exams at the lecture time on Mondays February 5 and March 5..

Final Examination: This is a three-hour exam scheduled by the University and will take on Wednesday April 18 from 19:00 to 22:00. It is the responsibility of each student to be available at the time of the examination. In particular, no travel plans should be made until the examination schedule is published.

Grading Scheme:

Assignments        - 10%

Midterm1              - 20%

Midterm2              - 20%

Final Exam           - 50%

IMPORTANT DATE: February 9 is the last day for undergraduates to drop courses except under special procedures applicable in extenuating circumstances.
