Course Coordinator: Elizabeth Stepp - es171@nyu.edu
COURSE PREREQUISITES
MA-UY 1024: Math Diagnostic Exam or a grade of “B” or better in MA-UY 914.
MA-UY 1324: Math Diagnostic Exam or a passing grade in MA-UY 914
COURSE OBJECTIVES
After completing this course the student will be able to:
Understand the concept of limits; compute limits of functions from formulas, graphs, and tables.
Understand the concept of continuity of a function at a point and on an interval.
Differentiate elementary functions of a single variable.
Understand the definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums and establish the connection
between the derivative and the definite integral through the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Apply knowledge of calculus to solve problems in, but not limited to, engineering and science.
COURSE STRUCTURE:
Each lesson is comprised of lectures as well as discussions regarding exercises and problems
from the textbook and online homework. There will be two exams given during the course of the
semester and one final exam.
Each Instructor will provide you a Zoom link to access your weekly live lectures.
THE TEXTBOOK FOR THE COURSE:

Calculus, Early Transcendentals 8th Edition by James Stewart. You can buy a used book, loose-leaf
version, or ebook if you wish.
However, every student is required to use the WebAssign online homework system.
Course Information and Grading
Grades will be computed following the rules iterated below:

Mandatory requirements: Attending all lectures, completing homework, and demonstrating
competency on the exams.
Homework: There will be weekly assignments administered through the online homework software
WebAssign, which is required course material. If you miss a deadline, you can apply for a one time
extension which will automatically be granted with a 40% penalty. We will drop the lowest score.
Quizzes: There will be Friday quizzes that are completed within WebAssign. There are no make-
ups but we will drop the lowest quiz.
Problem Sets: There will be 6 written problem sets due throughout the semester. You are
encouraged to work together on these assignments but each individual submission must be your
own. The student will submit the problem sets via Gradescope.
Examinations: Two exams given during the course of the semester and one comprehensive final
exam. All Exams will be take-home and completed within Gradescope.
Exams will be open for a 48 hour period beginning Friday night and ending Sunday night. Once you
begin the exam, you will have only THREE hours to complete it. You will need to upload a file of
your work into Gradescope. You will need to pay attention to the time as this needs to take place
within the three hours. You will NOT be permitted to upload or email the exam past the three hour
mark.
Course Grade: Your letter grade will be based on the following:
Webassign Homework 15%
WebAssign quizzes 15%
Problem Sets 20%
3 Exams 50% (2 Semester exams + 1 Final Exam)

NYU School of Engineering Policies and Procedures on Academic Misconduct: Introduction: The
School of Engineering encourages academic excellence in an environment that promotes honesty,
integrity, and fairness, and students at the School of Engineering are expected to exhibit those
qualities in their academic work. It is through the process of submitting their own work and
receiving honest feedback on that work that students may progress academically. Any act of
academic dishonesty is seen as an attack upon the School and will not be tolerated.
The Department of Mathematics reserves the right to impose the strongest academic sanctions for
violations of Academic Integrity.
Furthermore, those who breach the School’s rules on academic integrity will be sanctioned under
this Policy. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the School’s Policy on
Academic Misconduct.
Definition: Academic dishonesty may include misrepresentation, deception, dishonesty, or any act
of falsification committed by a student to influence a grade or other academic evaluation. Academic
dishonesty also includes intentionally damaging the academic work of others or assisting other
students in acts of dishonesty. Common examples of academically dishonest behavior include, but
are not limited to, the following:
Cheating: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized notes, books, electronic media, or
electronic communications in an exam; talking with fellow students or looking at another person’s
work during an exam; submitting work prepared in advance for an in-class examination; having
someone take an exam for you or taking an exam for someone else; violating other rules governing
the administration of examinations.
Fabrication: including but not limited to, falsifying experimental data and/or citations.
Plagiarism: Intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in
any academic exercise; failure to attribute direct quotations, paraphrases, or borrowed facts or
information.
Unauthorized collaboration: working together on work that was meant to be done individually.
Duplicating work: presenting for grading the same work for more than one project or in more than
one class, unless express and prior permission has been received from the course instructor(s) or
research adviser involved.
Forgery: altering any academic document, including, but not limited to, academic records,
admissions materials, or medical excuses.

final and plan your travel schedule accordingly. Please refer to the full make-up exam policy online:
https://math.nyu.edu/tandon/policy.html
It is University policy that an out-of-sequence exam can be administered only if there is prior
authorization by the Mathematics Department or the Office of Student Affairs. If you miss an exam
for a medical, religious, or family emergency reason, you must provide written documentation to the
Math Department at soe.math@nyu.edu in order to schedule a make-up exam within 2 days of the
missed exam, or upon your first day returning to class if the documentation excuses a longer
absence. Make-ups will not be granted to students who do not notify the Math Department in a
timely manner. Students may be asked to seek additional approval from the Office of Student
Affairs.
We cannot accommodate out-of-sequence exams, quizzes, and finals for reasons of convenient
