Summer 2013: MATH 19 OL1: Fundamental Concepts of Calculus I

Monday and Wednesday

5:30 PM until 9:00 PM

May 20, 2013 until June 26, 2013

MATH 19 is an introduction to limits and differential calculus with a wide variety of applications. Students beginning MATH 19 already have solid algebra and geometry skills. That means students have had two years of high school algebra and one year of high school geometry. Upon successful completion of MATH 19, students are prepared to take MATH 20: Fundamentals of Calculus II, (MATH 20).

TEXTBOOK: CALCULUS WITH APPLICATIONS, 10^th Edition, by Lial, Greenwell, and Ritchey

Final grade for the class is based upon:

Quiz Average: 50%,

Mid-Term Grade: 30%, and

Final Examination: 20%.

FINAL EXAMINATION will be cumulative.

Wednesday, June 26^th: 5:30 PM until 9:00 PM

Make-up quizzes are not given. It is in your best interest to take every quiz, the mid-term, and the final examination.  If you miss any of these, you earn a 0% for it.
