TEXT: Applied Calculus, 7th Edition, by Stefan Waner and Steven R. Costenoble
PREREQUISITES: Math 1014.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Quantitative and computational thinking to address relevant global
issues. Unified calculus course covering techniques and applications of differential and integral
calculus for functions of one variable. Constitutes the standard first-year mathematics courses for
the life sciences. 1025: Differential calculus, graphing, applications for the life sciences, use of
spreadsheet software. Assumes 2 units of high school algebra, 1 unit of geometry, 1/2 unit of
trigonometry and precalculus. 1026: Integral calculus, numerical techniques, elementary differential
equations, applications for the life sciences, use of spreadsheet and scientific software. A student
can earn credit for at most one of 1025 and 1225. A student can earn credit for at most one of 1026
and 1226.
CONTENT: We will cover the material listed on the syllabus. Any changes will be announced in
class.
TESTS: Five 100-point tests will be given and the lowest test grade will be dropped. Tests count
400 points of the grade. Make-up tests will not be given. If, for an unavoidable reason, you miss a
test and have an excused absence, the final exam grade will replace the grade on the missed test.
FINAL EXAM: There will be a comprehensive final exam, which counts 170 points of the grade.
Wednesday, May 15, 2019 from 10:05 a.m. – 1:05 p.m.
The final exam is a required class meeting that will not be rescheduled for discretionary reasons,
including conflicts with work schedules and with classes and exams at other colleges.
LABS: Computer labs will count 100 points of the grade. Students are encouraged to work together
on computer labs; copying of work is not permitted.
ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION/HOMEWORK: Attendance will be taken each class period and
will count towards a portion of your final average. Students are expected to attend every class
meeting and to arrive on time. To be considered present, a student must be in class and working
until dismissed. If a student is absent from class, he/she is responsible for all material,
announcements and assignments missed. It is each student’s responsibility to make sure that
he/she signs the attendance sheet each class period. An absence, due to a University sponsored
activity, will not be counted toward the attendance policy provided that written verification from a
doctor, coach or University sponsor is sent to me. Three “tardies” equal one absence. Read each
section and do homework daily as assigned. Students are encouraged to work together on daily
homework; copying of work is not permitted. Assignments will be due at the beginning of class. No
late work will be accepted. A grade of zero will be assigned for any paper not on time. A score of 5
or better out of 10 points constitutes a completed homework assignment.
Collected homework and quizzes count for a total of 30 points of the grade.
Points for Attendance/Participation/Homework:
0-2 unexcused absences with homework completed daily -- 30 points
3-5 unexcused absences with homework completed daily -- 20 points
6-10 unexcused absences with homework completed daily -- 10 points
More than 10 absences or missed homework -- 0 points
CALCULATORS: Graphing calculators are permitted in most instances.
GRADING: Final grades will be determined by adding the total number of points accumulated and
dividing that number by 700. A 90% will guarantee an A-, an 80% will guarantee a B-, a 70% will
guarantee a C-, and a 60% will guarantee a D-.
UNDERGRADUATE HONOR SYSTEM: The Undergraduate Honor Code pledge that each member of
the university community agrees to abide by states:
“As a Hokie, I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I
will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do.”
Students enrolled in this course are responsible for abiding by the Undergraduate Honor Code for all
graded work.
All submitted assignments and tests will be considered graded work and must be completed on an
individual basis. No consultation is permitted on tests. Homework may be discussed with other
students as well as with the instructor. However, in writing up an assignment to be handed in, each
student works alone (without other students or other students’ papers) and certifies that what is
written accurately represents the student’s own understanding of the material expressed in the
student’s own words. In working, or in preparing to work, homework problems, students may not
consult partial or complete solutions of the problems that have been prepared by anyone else. The
prohibited solutions include, but are not limited to, solutions by current or former teachers or
students at VT or elsewhere, whether these solutions are posted on the web or available from other
sources.
(i.e., copying a solution from any source for a test, homework, quiz assignment or Matlab worksheet
is prohibited.) A student’s name on a group assignment signifies both that the student contributed
significantly to the work on the assignment and that all of what is on the assignment accurately
represents the student’s own understanding of the material. Old notes, labs, tests and/or koofers of
any type may not be used.
Notes, assignments, quizzes, tests, exams, solutions, and other materials distributed to or generated
in this class are intended for use only by students enrolled in this crn this semester. Without the
teacher's written permission, no one may show, give, or otherwise make such class materials
available to anyone not enrolled in this crn this semester. Prohibited activities include, but are not
limited to, uploading a test, uploading solutions to problems, and submitting such class materials for
online posting. The prohibition on sharing solutions applies to all solutions, regardless of who wrote
the solutions.
Commercially purchasing/selling and/or posting on-line notes, labs homework assignments and/or
tests is not permitted in this class.
Recording of lectures is not permitted without prior consent from the instructor.
Any violation of these policies will be considered an Honor Code Violation. A student who has doubts
about how the Honor Code applies to any assignment is responsible for obtaining specific guidance
from the course instructor before submitting the assignment for evaluation. Ignorance of the rules
does not exclude any member.
For additional information about the Honor Code, please visit: https://www.honorsystem.vt.edu/ .
You will need to attend one of the “Understanding the Virginia Tech Honor Code” sessions for
students sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity. These sessions will be
interactive sessions in which the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity discusses what
constitutes a violation of the Honor Code and ways in which students can avoid violations of the
Honor Code. Specific examples will be utilized to assist students in better understanding the
University’s expectations. The same material will be covered at each session. Session dates are
**January 28, 29, 30, 31 and February 1: 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
in the Graduate Life Center Auditorium**
Students who plan to attend a session will need to pre-register by emailing honorsys@vt.edu at least
one hour prior to the session.
