Course Objectives – The goal of Calculus II is to provide students with an opportunity to learn calculus
concepts and to develop calculus problem-solving skills. The goal will be achieved by meeting the
following objectives. The student will be able to:
• Use integration techniques to integrate complex expressions including being able to integrate
using “u” substitutions, integration by parts, partial fractions, integrals of powers of trig
functions.
• Use numerical integration techniques (Trapezoid Rule and Simpson’s Rule) to find definite
integrals of functions which can’t be integrated by any of the common integration techniques.
• Evaluate improper integrals.
• use integration to find volumes, arc lengths, surface areas, centroids, work and fluid force.
• Evaluate various series forms in geometric, telescoping, positive term series, alternating series
using various series tests and formulas.
• Approximate functions using McLaurin and Taylor series.
• Find derivatives and integrals using function power series.
• Take simple partial derivatives, including using the chain rule for multi-variable functions
• Evaluate simple multiple integrals.

Quizzes: short quizzes will be roughly taken every week (usually in Lab).
As members of a community dedicated to learning, inquiry and creation, the students, faculty and
administration of our university live by the principles in this Honor Code. These principles require all
members of this community to be conscientious, respectful and honest.
We are conscientious.
We complete our work on time and make every effort to do it right. We come to class and meetings
prepared and are willing to demonstrate it. We hold ourselves to doing what is required, embrace rigor,
and shun mediocrity, special requests, and excuses.
We are respectful.
We act civilly toward one another and we cooperate with each other. We will strive to create an
environment in which people respect and listen to one another, speaking when appropriate, and
permitting other people to participate and express their views.
We are honest.
We do our own work and are honest with one another in all matters. We understand how various acts
of dishonesty, like plagiarizing, falsifying data, and giving or receiving assistance to which one is not
entitled, conflict as much with academic achievement as with the values of honesty and integrity.
Students at our university recognize that, to ensure honest conduct, more is needed than an
expectation of academic honesty, and we therefore adopt the practice of affixing the following pledge of
honesty to the work we submit for evaluation:
Special Needs – Students with special needs, as documented by the Office of Disability Services, should
identify themselves at the beginning of the semester.
