Learning Outcomes

As a result of completing this course, the students will be able to:

Define logarithm, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions, explain their basic properties (continuity, derivatives, asymptotes, etc.) and recognize their graphs;
Apply these functions to word problems, and correctly interpret the results;
Solve integrals using integration by parts, trigonometric substitution and partial fractions;
Analyze, create and recognize polar and parametric graphs;
Categorize the convergence of an infinite series;
Express algebraic and transcendental functions using Maclaurin and Taylor series.

Average minimum amount of independent, out-of-class, learning expected per week

More than 2/3 of the time you devote to this class should take place outside the classroom (lecture and recitation). Even the best students in the class should plan on spending an average of at least 6 hours a week on homework and other studying. Students who struggle with the material may need to spend more time in order to earn a grade they will find acceptable.

- Students can choose to mute the instructor while taking the midterm. On the other hand, the instructor might make announcements during the midterm. Muting the instructor might cause you miss some informations.
- 20 multiple choice/answer questions in the midterm. For each multiple answer question, choosing wrong answers will result in negative points with lowest possible overall score being zero. For each multiple choice question, choosing wrong answer will result in zero point.
- You need to provide written work to support the answers. Correct answers without supported work receive zero credits.
  - The written work has to be in a single-PDF file (see the previous Section to learn how to convert multiple photos into single PDF file).
  - The written work for each question must be sorted by increasing order like Q1, Q2, ... Q20.
  - The written work with wrong order will not be accepted, resulting to zero score for the midterm.
  - The written work with multiple files will not be accepted, resulting to zero score for the midterm.
  - After the 75-min midterm exam, you will have 30 minutes to take photos, convert to single PDF file, and upload to Blackboard system. After you finish submitting the written work, wait until my confirmation of receiving your written work, then you can leave the exam.
- Students who are in the Asian timezone will take midterm at 9:20pm-10:35pm (EST) of the same day as the regular midterm.

Academic Integrity

Academic dishonesty is defined as cheating of any kind, including misrepresenting one's own work, taking credit for the work of other without crediting them and without appropriate authorization, and the fabrication of information. For the remainder of the code, see: http://www.gwu.edu/~ntegrity/code.html.

Support for Students Outside the Classroom

Disability Support Services (DSS): Any student who may need an accommodation based on the potential impact of a disability should contact the DSS office at 202-994-8250 in the Rome Hall, Suite 102, to establish eligibility and to coordinate reasonable accommodations. For additional information please refer to: http://gwired.gwu.edu/dss/.

Security

In the case of an emergence, if at all possible, the class should shelter in place. If the buliding that the class is in is affected, follow the evacuation procedures for the building. After evacuation, see shelter at a predetermined rendezvous location.

Student Responsibilities and Classroom Courtesy:

You are responsible for knowing about all announcements made in class related to homeworks, exams etc., and for all material covered in class.
Be aware of the University's Code of Academic Integrity, see http://www.gwu.edu/~ntegrity for details. If cases of academic dishonesty arise, whether on homeworks, quizzes or exams, they will be pursued to their conclusion.
Each student must conduct him or herself in a manner that promotes a positive atmosphere, conveys mutual respect, and creates no distractions, thereby allowing all students to focus on our goal: learning NUMERICAL ANALYSIS. In particular:
cell phones, texting devices, laptops, and all other potentially distracting must be turned off during class;
- cell phones, texting devices, laptops, and all other potentially distracting must be turned off during class;
- everyone should make a serious effort to arrive promptly for the start of class;
- except for serious reasons, once in class everyone should remain in class until the class is over;
- apart from the lecture, students asking the instructor questions, and students responding to the instructor's questions, the class should be silent.

Questions

Everyone is strongly encouraged to ask questions during class, and during office hours! Should you need further assistance, you may consider hiring a tutor (the department keeps a list of tutors; copies are available outside Phillips Hall 739).

Library

Calculus (library call number: QA303.2 .S73 2016) is available on reserve as part of the Top Textbooks program at GW Libraries. Top Textbooks can be checked out for three hours at a time, can be taken outside the library, and have no cost to use.
