Math 75. Mathematical Analysis I.   Fall 2015.

Hours: 4.

Prerequisites: Elementary geometry, intermediate algebra, trigonometry, or Math 6 (Precalculus). Must meet the ELM requirement.

Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Briggs & Cochran, 201?. 2e

We will use the textbook \Calculus - Concepts and Con-
texts", 4th Edition, by James Stewart. The CU bookstore sells a custom edition that includes an
access code for WebAssign (for on-line homework). If you purchase this, you can continue to use
it for MATH 2300 and MATH 2400. If you purchase the textbook elsewhere, make sure you also
buy access to WebAssign for as many semesters as you intend to continue in the Calculus sequence.
You can nd more information about purchasing the textbook and a WebAssign access code on the
course website.

Catalog Description: Techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals, conic sections, polar coordinates, infinite series.

Grading policy: Your grade for the course will be based on your performance on e-Homework Quizzes, Team Tests and a Gateway Final exam. The weighted-percentage breakdown for these course components are as follows:.

Daily Quizzes 30%
e-Homework 10%
Team-Tests 40%
Final 30%

Cumulative Weighted % Letter grade
89.01-100% A
79.01-89% B
69.01-79% C
59.01-69% D
0-59% F


e-Homework: Homework quiz problems will be assigned most days consisting usually of 3-5 problems on mymathlab. It is mandatory the student register for mymathlab with the course: burger55647

Daily Quizzes:Every non-test day will have a daily quiz of a problem from topics of the previous lecture/homework. The problem is worth 5 points. 1 point for the correct answer and up to 4 points for showing your work. It is possible to get 4/5 if you get the wrong answer, and possible to get 1/5 if you get the right answer.

Team-Tests: There will be four (4) collaborative team tests. No test scores will be dropped. Calculators are allowed. Teams of two students will be randomly selected before the test using an online team selector. In the event of an odd number of students, the team selector will randomly construct a team of three students. Each student will receive a test and a 'team test.' Only 1 test is turned in per team. Teams must whisper quietly when discussing problems and comparing solutions. See schedule for tentative exam dates. If you cannot take a team-test at the scheduled time and have an excused absence, you must take the test (a different version of course) solo during a scheduled office appointment. Unexcused absences for a team-test or the solo final will result in a score of zero for the student on that item.

Gateway Final: The cumulative final is taken alone and is MANDATORY. The Gateway Final exam represents the expectation of mastery of the key ideas in the class, based on material related to the previous Team-tests and e-Homework quizzes. Calculators may be used on the Gatewary Final.

Class attendance is strongly encouraged for obvious reasons.
