This syllabus covers 47 hours of class time This leaves 4 hours for tests and 5 free days to devote extra time to a topic that may give students difficulty, or to extra topics.
The PC software The Calculus Explorer is available for use in this course both outside of class and for in-class demonstrations. There are Computer-Graphing Calculator Exercises at the end of many sections and the texts contains numerous hints for using The Calculus Explorer software. There are also suggestions for student explorations throughout the text.
Note: If you wish to use a graphing calculator in this course, you must notify the chairperson of the Service Courses Committee one semester in advance so that a note to this effect can be included in the Course Schedule for students.
