Functions, limits and continuity, differentiation, vectors, parametric equations, polar coordinates, applications of the derivative. There will be at least three midterm exams, and one final exam. The final exam will be comprehensive over the entire semester. Your instructor may also give some quizzes. Copies of last semester's Midterm and Final exams are on sale at the bookstore.
Calculators are necessary on the midterm and final exams.
Makeup exams will only be given if there is a very good and verifiable reason for missing the exam. Notify your instructor immediately if you cannot take an exam. A good graphing calculator is required. The calculator must be able to do parametric plots in addition to usual plots of functions, and should be able to solve equations numerically. Students will be expected to be able to use their calculators to numerically solve equations, analyze graphs, and work with data in the course of solving some problems.
