Additional tutoring help for this course will be made available to you on a regular basis through HMC's Academic Excellence (AE) program. You are encouraged to take advantage of this resource.

This course offers a comprehensive view of the theory and techniques of differential and integral calculus of a single variable, as well as infinite series (including Taylor series and convergence tests). There is an emphasis on mathematical reasoning, rigor, and proof. It also provides an introduction to multivariable calculus, including partial derivatives, double and triple integrals.

There is no required textbook for this course. On the resources page of this site, we have listed links to two free online calculus textbooks that you may find helpful.

• There will be homework assignments due each week on Tuesday and Friday by 6:00 pm and announced on the homework page of this site. Assignments should be handed into the bins outside Olin 1257A.
• Homework assignments should follow the department guidelines for formatting homework . Also, see this handout on mathematical writing for tips on effective communication. You might also find these examples of good and bad mathematical writing helpful.
• No late homework assignments will be accepted (except in cases of medical or family emergencies). Your "get out of jail free card" is that your lowest homework score will be dropped.
• Each student is also responsible for attending all lectures and hearing all announcements.

There will be three exams in this class. Your course grade will be calculated as follows:

Homework	30%
Exam 1	30%	date: take-home due Friday, Sept. 28
Exam 2	30%	date: take-home due TBD
Max of above   3 components	10%

Also, in order to pass the course, you must complete the Math Review (on Sakai) by the end of the course (by Wednesday, October 24, 2012).

Cooperation among students on homework is very much encouraged, but each student is expected to write up his or her own solutions individually. Comprehension is the goal of working on problems, so you should understand solutions well enough to write them up yourself.

In addition, you should cite any sources of help that you use. If you work with a classmate on a problem, be sure to acknowledge that person in your homework write-up; to do so incurs no penalty.
