MYOPENMATH
For this course, you must participate in an online component called
MyOpenMath (MOM), www.myopenmath.com
REGISTRATION IN MyOpenMath IS REQUIRED. To register, go to https://www.myopenmath.com/.
The course id is 231785. Enrollment key is join181Taylor.
Homework will be done online through MoM. You can redo online
homework problems repeatedly until you get them all correct.
Homework will be due Tuesdays at 11:59, the week after the material
is covered.
CALCULATORS
Students are required to have a calculator or equivalent
phone/computer app for this course. The calculator must be capable
of doing exponentials and logarithms. On exams, no graphing
calculators, phones, or computers will be permitted.
TOPICS OUTLINE
Introduction to the derivative - Average rate of change,
definition of the derivative, graphical and numerical
derivatives
Derivative formulas - Power rule, exponential function
derivatives, product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, higher
order derivatives
Applications of the derivative - finding max/min, concavity,
max/min applications
Several variables - partial derivatives, max/min with two
variables
Integration - antiderivatives, area, indefinite and definite
integral, average value
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Attend class every day, arrive on time.
Be attentive in class and ask any questions you have.
Work on assigned tasks, both in class and homework
If there is a concept with which you need extra help, or if
you find yourself falling behind, tell me about it. Come to
office hours for extra help, or send me an email explaining your
concerns, or arrange for a tutor. The sooner the better.
When working in class, stay on the task at hand and maintain a
reasonable volume.
Be responsible for any material or announcements if you miss
class.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course students will be able to:
Interpret mathematical information presented in different
forms (such as graphs, formulas, tables) (SLO1 - Interpretation)
Perform calculus-based computations and draw appropriate
conclusions (SLO2 - Analysis)
Present quantitative evidence in support of an argument (SLO3
- Communication)
Specific skills to be learned include:
Find average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change
in an application context, with appropriate units
Apply differentiation techniques to find derivatives of
compound functions
Find antiderivatives of elementary functions, including
initial value problems
Use a sign chart and graph as an analysis of direction to make
conclusions about relative and global max/min
Solve single variable max/min application problems
Solve application problems involving total and marginal
profit/cost/revenue
Set up and solve max/min application problems involving
polynomials in two variables
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus to find area under a
curve and accumulation of marginal profit/cost/revenue
GRADE WEIGHTING
There will be three term exams and a Final exam, each contributing
15% toward your final grade. Online homework in MyOpenMath is worth
20%. Weekly worksheets are worth 20%.

ONLINE HOMEWORK
There will be homewok online through MyOpenMath. After the
material is covered in class, you will have until midnight the
following Tuesday to complete the assignment. WEEKLY WORKSHEETS
Every Thursday (other than exam weeks), there will be an in-class
worksheet for practice with the material covered that week. If
completed in class that day, it can be submitted. Otherwise it is
due in the next class meeting. TERM EXAMS
There will be three term exams. Material covered will be announced
in class. You will be allowed a scientific or business calculator
during the exams, but no book or notes. Phones, computers, and
graphing calculators are not permitted. The dates of the Midterms
are Sep 19, Oct 17 and Nov 7. If you anticipate a conflict
with any of these dates, you must inform me at least one week in
advance, or no accommodations will be given. FINAL EXAM
The final exam will be longer and contain problems from the entire
course. As with the midterm exams, you will be allowed your
calculator but no books or notes. In addition to counting for 15% of
your course grade, your final exam score will replace any lower
midterm exam scores. POLICY REGARDING MISSED WORK
If you are going to miss an exam, inform me beforehand as soon as
possible (at least one week in advance for exams). We will then be
able to arrange an alternate test time or deadline.
If an exam is missed without prior notification, no make-up exams
will be given under any circumstances. Your final exam score will be
used for the missed midterm as per the policy described above in the
Final Exam section.
Late homework may be submitted using a "late pass", with a 20%
penalty.
If you miss a worksheet, request a copy as soon as possible and
submit it at the next class meeting. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY It is the policy of Shippensburg
University to expect academic honesty. Students who commit breaches
of academic honesty will be subject to the various sanctions
outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog. TITLE IX
Shippensburg University and its faculty are
committed to assuring a safe and productive educational
environment for all students. In order to comply with the
requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and
the University’s commitment to offering supportive measures in
accordance with the 2020 regulations issued under Title IX, the
University requires faculty members to report incidents of sexual
violence shared by students to the University's Title IX
Coordinator at title9@ship.edu
or by calling 717.477.1161.
The only exceptions to the faculty member's
reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual violence are
communicated by a student during: 1. a classroom discussion; 2. in
a writing assignment for a class; 3. or as part of a
University-approved research project. Faculty members are
obligated to report sexual violence or any other abuse of a
student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age)
when the abuse allegedly occurred to the person designated in the
University protection of minors policy found at https://www.ship.edu/globalassets/administration-finance/policies/101-003-protection-of-minors-policy.pdf
