Course Information:

This course is the second part of a three semester sequence in calculus (Math 141, 142, and 143), which focuses on integration. We'll cover sections 3.7, 4.1-4.5, 5.1-5.6, 7.1-7.4 and 7.7 of Essential Calculus, by Stewart. This course satisfies the Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning (MQR) requirement of the Pathways General Education Required Core. See here for a description of the MQR Learning Outcomes. It is a pre-requisite that you have taken MATH 141. Here is some futher basic information:

Textbook: "Essential Calculus" Second Edition, by James Stewart.
Locations:
Section 01: Monday, Wednesday 10:45-12:00, Kiely 434.
Section 02: Monday, Wednesday 3:10-4:25, Kiely 420.

Homework:

I will post homework assignments above following each lecture. The due dates are indicated with the assignment, but they will generally be due at the start of the following class. No extensions will be granted, but I will drop the two lowest homework grades. Your solutions should be hand written by you on paper, ready to be handed in or presented at the start of class.

Getting Help- MathLab

The Math Lab will be open (in-person) Monday-Thursday. Click the link for details.

Calculator Policy:

You are encouraged to use graphing calculators in this course (e.g. TI-84). There will be homework problems and test questions which require their use. Instructions on the use of the TI-84 will be given during lecture, and I suggest you bring your calculator to class. You are not permitted to use calculators that can perform symbolic differentiation or integration (e.g. TI-89 or TI-92).

Grading and Exam Dates

The final grade will be based on the homework (15%), three in-class exams (60% total), and the final exam (25%). The preliminary exams are in-class and will be given on 10/2, 11/1, and 12/6. The final exam is Wednesday, December 13 from 10:45 am to 1:15 pm (2.5 hours) in Kiely 170.

Academic Integrity:

In case of cheating or plagarism, I will seek academic and disciplinary sanctions. See The CUNY Policy on Academic Integity.
