Math Learning Center:

The Math Learning Center (MLC) located in NAB239A provides free tutoring
services to all students who experience difficulties with their mathematics courses. In
the MLC you can get help from qualified tutors, do your homework and study (in
group if you wish). No need to make an appointment: just drop in!

For the spring semester 2010, the MLC will open on Sunday, January 31 st at 11 a.m.
The weekly hours are:

 Sunday through Wednesday: 11:00 am to 4:00 pm

 Thursday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

To see who's working, when and in what courses they can help you with, check this
semester's detailed schedule which will be posted in the MLC (NAB239A), on the
MLC Webpage http://www.aus.edu/cas/maths/student_services.php and provided to
the instructors to be posted on iLearn. For any other questions or concerns, please
send an e-mail to cas-mlc@aus.edu

Note: No tutoring is available during final exam week or the two first weeks of
the term.

Course Objectives:

This course is designed to help the students:

1. Develop the mathematical concepts of limits, derivatives and integrals, and

interpret them graphically and physically in the context of real-world
problems.
2. Apply differentiation and integration formulas, and implement the limit and
derivative concepts and techniques to analyze functions.
3. Apply the ideas and techniques of differentiation and integration to a variety
of applications such as extreme values, rates of change, optimization, areas,
and volumes.
4. Describe the basic ideas of differential calculus in algebraic, geometric, and
numeric terms, and utilize graphs to estimate relative rates, extreme values,
limits, and derivatives.
5. Employ numerical methods to evaluate limits, derivatives, and integrals and
utilize the Computer Algebra System Maple, in the computer-based
laboratory, efficiently as a tool.

Course Outcomes:

This course requires the student to demonstrate the following:

1. Evaluate limits graphically and numerically. Determine if a limit exists and

evaluate limits analytically.
2. State the definition of derivative and give its geometrical interpretation.
3. Find the derivative of a function by using the limiting process.
4. Use the derivative to find the equation of the tangent line at a point.
5. Find the first and higher-order derivatives of a function by applying basic
differentiation rules. Use implicit differentiation to find the rate of change.
6. Compute linear approximations and differentials.
7. Approximate zeros of a function using Newton's Method.
8. Compute the value of the limit using L’Hôpital’s rule.
9. Apply Rolle’s, the Intermediate Value, and the Mean Value theorems.
10. Solve related rates and optimization problems.
11. Apply the extreme value theorem to determine extrema on a closed interval.
12. Utilize the first and second derivative tests to find relative extrema, intervals
for which the function is increasing or decreasing, concavity, and points of
inflection.
13. Perform curve sketching (derivatives and curve shape, graphing).
14. Apply the basic integration rules to find the anti-derivative of a function.
15. Compute the definite integral of any polynomial or root function, and
integrate using the substitution technique.
16. Find upper, lower and middle sums for a region. Define the definite integral
as a limit of Riemann sum approximations.
17. Utilize the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the area under a curve.
18. Find areas and volumes of revolution.
Remarks and Rules

1. Attendance: It is the university policy that if a student is absent 15% of the class
sessions (which, in our case, amount to 7 hours), he/she will be withdrawn from
the course with a grade of WF.

2. Late attendance: Not only are you expected to be in class, but you are also
expected to be there on time. Three (3) late attendances will count as one
absence. Lateness is defined as: showing up to class after the instructor has
finished calling the class roster, and within the first 10 minutes of the lecture.
Showing up more than 10 minutes late to the lecture counts as an absence.

3. Missing quizzes or exams: Quizzes cannot be made up.

4. Academic integrity: You are expected to submit your own work. Copying,
cheating or plagiarism, if detected, will result in a WF grade in the course for all
who are involved (i.e. it does not matter, if somebody copied your homework,
project etc., you are guilty as well).

5. Getting Help: Students are encouraged to consult their instructor during his office
hours or by appointment or through the Math Learning Center.
