Course Information:

The second part of a two-semester sequence (MATH 151 and 152) intended for students who want to study mathematics, physics, chemistry, or engineering. This course deals with several aspects of differential and integral calculus. Among the topics studied are the definite integral, applications of the definite integral, the differentiation of logarithmic, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions, integration, indeterminate forms, improper integrals, infinite series, and expansions of functions. Applications to problems of geometry and physics. Not open to students who are taking any other calculus course or have received credit, including transfer credit or advanced placement credit, for any calculus course other than MATH 151. Students who fail or withdraw from this course multiple times may be prohibited from majoring in the sciences or mathematics; see the bulletin language for your major. 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 151. Here is some futher basic information:

Locations: Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:40-3:30, Kiely 316.
Textbook: "Essential Calculus" Second Edition, by James Stewart.
Sections covered: 5.1-5.6, 6.1-6.3, 6.5, 5.8, 6.6, 7.1-7.4, 7.7, and 8.1-8.8.

The expected course outcome is for the student to learn this material and demonstrate their level of mastery on the course assessments. This should be accomplished by being an active participant in class, completing all of the assignments, studying independently and in groups outside of class, and seeking my help as needed.

Contact Information:

Instructor: Scott Wilson
Email: scott dot wilson AT qc.cuny.edu
Office hours: Monday 12:45-1:30 (Kiely 609) and Wednesday 12:45-1:30 (Kiely 331- Mathlab), or by appointment.
Office: Kiely 609

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 2/28, 4/3, and 5/8.
The final exam is Friday, May 17th 8am (2.5 hours), location TBA.

Academic Integrity:

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

Copies of previous finals:

Please see this link for a copy of Previous Final Exams in 152.

Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Disabilities:

Candidates with disabilities needing academic accommodation should: 1) register with and provide documentation to the Office of Special Services, Kiely Hall Room 108; 2) bring a letter indicating the need for accommodation and what type. This should be done during the first week of class. For more information about services available to Queens College candidates, visit Office of Special Services for Students with Disabilities in Kiely Hall Room 108 or contact the Director, Dr. Miriam Detres-Hickey at QC.SPSV@qc.cuny.edu.

Statement on Student Wellness:

As a student, you may experience a range of challenges that can interfere with learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, substance use, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may diminish your academic performance and/or reduce your ability to participate in daily activities. QC services are available free of charge. You can learn more about confidential mental health services available on campus at Counseling Services Department.
