I. Basic Information of the Course
MAT 212, Calculus and Analytic Geometry II, 4 hours credit
Prerequisites: MAT 112 or MAT 116 and MAT 211

III. Primary
Objectives of the Course
We will briefly review the definite integral and the fundamental theorems of calculus. The course will include applications of definite integrals including areas of regions, volumes of solids, and lengths of curves. The calculus of transcendental functions, techniques of integration, improper integrals, polar coordinates followed by areas and lengths in polar coordinates will conclude the course.
IV. Method
of Instruction
The course will be taught by using a lecture-demonstration-discussion method combined
with a laboratory component.
Thomas ‘Calculus (11th Ed.) by Weir, Hass and Giordano.
A calculator in the TI 83-84 family will be
useful on some of the tests and assignments. Calculators in the TI-89-92 family
will not be permitted on tests. No other
types of technology are to be seen or heard during instructional periods or tests,
including cell-phones and IPod devices, unless instructed to do so by the
professor.
VI. Assigned Readings and Research:
TBA
VII. Special Projects and/or Activities
Students will be expected to complete a number of special projects in calculus
using Mathematica.
VIII. Method of Evaluation
A number of homework checks on both computer lab and pencil and paper techniques will
be performed. A number of daily quizzes will be given in addition to unit tests as
described above. Generally major unit tests together with the final exam will comprise
approximately 75% of the total points; computer lab work, daily homework checks and
quizzes will comprise approximately 25% of the total points in the course. The final
grade will be determined by the ration of (points earned)/(points possible) and using
the scale 94-100 A, 84-93 B, 74-83 C, 64 -73 D and below 64 F.
IX. Attendance Policy
Regular and successive attendance is expected of all students. This will be especially
important for the computer component of the course. In order to promote regular class
attendance, quizzes will be given and attendance will be checked daily. An unexcused
absence on a day where homework is checked, a quiz or unit test is given or an
assignment is due will result in a score of zero on that particular day’s grade.
Please note that all students are expected to be on time for class. Any student who misses an excessive number of times will be reported to the Academic Center. Any electronic technology other than a TI 83/84 series-calculator is not to be seen or used in class. Cell phones should be silenced before class.
X. Statement on Cheating and Plagiarism
Cheating of any type will not be tolerated. If a professor observes cheating by a student,
the student will receive a zero and will be reported to the Office of the Provost.

General
This syllabus is intended to serve as a general student guide to study this course, and
to give general information relative to the “mechanics” of the course. It is not
a contract.
