Syllabus for MATH 21-120, Differential and Integral Calculus, Section 1

Carnegie Mellon University, Fall 2019

Instructor: Dr. Neranga Fernando

Office: WEH 7115

E-mail: [email protected]

Office phone: 412-268-5608

Office hours: Mondays and Wednesdays 2pm – 3.30pm.

Meeting times and location: MWF, 8.30am – 9.20am at PH 100.

Course Objectives: Students completing the course should be able to recognize and use the following concepts and
methods of calculus when they occur in their disciplines:

- Differentiation: definition via limits, derivations rules, applications including optimization.

Textbook: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, by James Stewart, 8th edition.

Web materials: All class announcements, material, and grades will be posted on Canvas.

Quizzes:

You will be taking a 30-minute quiz in recitation meting every other Thursday starting from the second week, but
the last quiz will be on Tuesday in the last week of classes. Unless you have a very serious, well-documented, and
compelling reason to miss a quiz, there will be NO make-up quizzes. No quiz grade will be dropped.

Here are the dates you will be taking a quiz:

Homework:

Homework is due at the beginning of the recitation meeting every other Thursday starting from the third week, i.e.
on Thursdays you are not taking a quiz. If you do not hand them in at the beginning of the recitation meeting when
collected by your TA, they will be counted as a zero. Even if your work is partially complete, please submit your
work. Because partially complete is better than a zero. Discussion on homework is allowed, but each student must
prepare and submit their own assignment. No homework grade will be dropped.

Here are the due dates of homework:

Homework 1 (September 12), Homework 2 (September 26), Homework 3 (October 31), Homework (November 14)

You should only submit the homework problems with an asterisk, but it is strongly advised that you do all of
assigned homework since the quizzes will closely resemble the homework problems.

Mid-term exams and final exam:

There will be two mid-term exams and a cumulative final exam in this course. The mid-term exams are 50-minute
in-class exams; they will be on Friday, October 11 and Friday, November 22. Location and time of the final exam
are to be determined. Unless you have a very serious, well-documented, and compelling reason to miss an exam,
there will be NO make-up exams. No mid-term exam grade will be dropped.
Grading: The course grade will be determined as follows:
Final exam: 30%
Mid-term exams: 40% (20% each)
Quizzes: 20%
Homework: 10%

Letter grades are determined numerically:

A ≥ 90, 90> B ≥ 80, 80 > C ≥ 70, 70 > D ≥ 60, 60 > R

The grade I (Incomplete) will be given only if you have at least a C in class before the final exam, have completed
all quizzes and homework before the final exam, and have missed the final exam for a valid reason, and otherwise
are doing passing work. An incomplete grade is given at the discretion of the instructor.

Calculators : Calculators are NOT permitted on quizzes, mid-term exams and the final exam.

Academic Honesty: Collaboration on quizzes, mid-term exams and final exam is not allowed. A necessary
prerequisite to the attainment of the goals of the University is maintaining complete honesty in all academic work.
Students are expected to present as their own only that which is clearly their own work in tests and in any material
submitted for credit. Students may not assist others in presenting work that is not their own. Offenders are subject to
disciplinary action.”

Important:

1) Any student with a disability is encouraged to meet with the instructor during the first week of classes to discuss
accommodations. The student must bring a current Memorandum of Accommodations from the Office of Disability
Resources.

2) If you are an athlete and have conflicts with an important class activity (quiz, mid-term, or final), you should let
your instructor know before the end of second week of classes. You should also bring an official letter from the
Office of Athletics.

3) All electronic devices (mobile phones, laptops etc.) should be turned off during class time, recitation meetings,
quizzes, mid-term exams and final exam.

Syllabus: Syllabus is subject to change. It is your responsibility to be aware of any changes the instructor may make
to the syllabus as they are announced in class. Students are responsible for all information given when they are
absent.
