Exams
There will be two in-class midterms and a final.
There will be no makeup exams, and no alternative times for exams.
If you have an official reason that prevents you from attending a
midterm,
you must contact me by e-mail before the exam takes place, and
you must receive a response giving you permission to miss
the midterm. Your course grade will then be determined by your
performance on the
remaining midterm and the final.
If you miss a midterm for unforseen reasons beyond
your control, please contact me as soon as possible.
No calculators are allowed in any of the exams.
Midterm 1
Midterm 1: Friday, February 5, in class.
Midterm 2
Midterm 2: Friday, March 5, in class.
Homework
Homework will be assigned via the
free online homework system WeBWorK. Most weeks, homework will be due
on
Monday at 5PM.
To get started with WeBWorK, go to the WeBWorK
web page, log in with
your UC Davis MailID (note that this is not necessarily the same as
your login name), and use your student ID number as your initial
password.
After you log in, you should change your password using the
"Password/Email"
link on the left. You can then view
homework assignments by going to "Homework Sets", also on the left.
Important: The first assignment is
due Friday, January 8, and is a "practice assignment" (not counting
toward your
course grade)
on 21A material which is designed to familiarize you with the system
and help us debug it if necessary.
Also important: You have limited attempts
on
problems, and typos will be counted as failed attempts. Be sure
to use the "Preview" button before each time you submit an answer.
You can "Email instructor" if you run into problems with the interface.
A webwork wiki page can be found here.
Please direct
questions regarding WeBWorK to the lead TA Lawrence Austria, email:
laaustria at ucdavis dot edu.
Course Grade
The course grade will be based on (weights in parentheses):
- Homework (10%)
- Midterm 1 (25%)
- Midterm 2 (25%)
- Final (40%)
Text for Math 21B
Thomas' Calculus Early Transcendentals, M. D. Weir, J. Hass, and
F. R. Giordano,
Eleventh ed., Pearson, 2008.
The central topic of the course is integration.
We will cover roughly Chapters 5–8 of the text
- Ch. 5: Integration
- Ch. 6: Definite integrals and applications
- Ch. 7: Logs and Exponentials
- Ch. 8: Integration methods
A detailed syllabus is here.
There is a very nice set of lecture notes for 21B on
Qinlan
Xia's course webpage
for MAT 21B, Winter Quarter 2008.
Computer Accounts
The class will not have assignments that involve computation.
However, if you want to use numerical packages such as MATLAB to
increase your understanding
of calculus, you can sign up
with the mathematics department for a class account.
