Course Description: Differential calculus including analytic geometry, functions and limits,
derivatives, techniques and applications of differentiation, logarithmic and trigonometric
functions.

Objectives: To convey to the students the beauty and utility of differential calculus, and to
illustrate some of its applications in science and engineering.

Text: Single Variable Calculus - Early Transcendentals, 7th Ed. by James Stewart or a Similar
Text (cf. http://www.math.ucsb.edu/ugrad/textcompare3A6.htm).

Discussion Sections: Each student must enroll in one of the associated discussion sections.
Attendance at discussion sections is mandatory.

Quizzes: There will be a quiz during each discussion section.

Homework: Homework assignments are to be completed online at


https://webwork3.math.ucsb.edu/webwork2/Math3A-01-S12-Albrecht/. Each student’s initial
username and password is his/her perm number. It is highly recommended that each student
change his/her password immediately after logging into the system for the first time. Homework
assignments are due at 11:50 AM on Fridays (when assigned on Mondays or on Fridays) and at
11:50 AM on Wednesdays (when assigned on Wednesdays).

Calculators: Students may use calculators when completing homework assignments. Graphing
calculators are prohibited during quizzes and exams.

Exams: There will be two midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam.
Midterm I: 12:00 - 12:50 PM on Wednesday, 25 April 2012
Midterm II: 12:00 - 12:50 PM on Monday, 14 May 2012
Final: 12:00 - 3:00 PM on Tuesday, 12 June 2012
There are no make-up exams. If a student misses a midterm exam due to illness or other
extenuating circumstances, it is his/her responsibility to bring me a note from a medical worker
or a person in a position of authority verifying the circumstances that he/she describes. If it is at
all possible, he/she should let me know beforehand that he/she will be missing a midterm exam.
I reserve the right to make evaluations on a case-by-case basis.

Grading: Quizzes 10%


Homework 10%
Midterm I 20%
Midterm II 20%
Final 40%

Academic Integrity: Students are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
While students are encouraged to collaborate on homework assignments, their submitted work
should accurately reflect the results of their individual efforts. Students must do their own work
during quizzes and exams. Talking, having discussions, comparing papers, copying, and
collaborating are not allowed on quizzes and exams. The use of graphing calculators, notes, and
communication devices such as cell phones is also prohibited during quizzes and exams.
Academic dishonesty will result in the failure of written work and may lead to failure of the
course and/or university disciplinary action.

Additional Resources:
1. The Math Lab in South Hall 1607 is open Monday - Friday from 12:00 - 5:00 PM.
2. Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS) has a number of resources that I
recommend students utilize. Interested students should visit www.clas.ucsb.edu for
more information.

Other Important Dates: Friday, 27 April 2012 is the last day to drop the class.
Monday, 28 May 2012 (Memorial Day) is a university holiday.

Accommodations: Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must


contact the Disabled Students Program. The program office is located in Room 2120 of the
Student Resource Building. The program’s website is http://dsp.sa.ucsb.edu. I encourage any
such students to contact me as well.

“Philosophy is written in this grand book – the Universe – which stands continually open to our
gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and
interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its
characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly
impossible to understand a single word of it.”
- Galileo Galilei
