Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 9th Edition, by James Stewart. See here for more information. Note that, I will not assign problems from the textbook.
Notes: I will upload my notes on courseworks in files. For those not registered, here is a link to my notes.
Comment: The textbook is extremely expensive. You are unlikely to refer back to it after you finish with calculus. If you want to purchase a copy, get an older (and cheaper!) edition of the textbook; very little changes except for the problems. You can also find the textbook online/check out it from the library.
Prerequisites: The prerequisites for the course are Calculus I (Math UN1101) and Calculus II (MATH UN1102); see here for more information on what constitutes an equivalent.
Homework: I will post problems on gradescope and on coursework/canvas.
Important: Late homework will not be accepted.
Tests: There will be two 75-minute midterm exams and a 3-hour final exam.
The test dates cannot be moved. You must plan your travel well in advance to not conflict with exam dates.
Midterm 1: 16th Feb
Midterm 2: 28th Mar
Final (Current Projection Not Fixed): Tuesday 9th May
There will be make-up exams only in exceptional circumstances. If you believe you cannot take an exam because of such an exceptional circumstance, please contact me as soon as possible.
Grading: The final course grade is weighted as:
Homework: 10%
Midterm 1: 20%
Midterm 2: 20%
Final: 50%
Your worst homework score will automatically be dropped.
Students with disabilities: To receive accommodations for exams (or otherwise), you must register with the Disability Services office and present an accommodation letter.
More information is available here.
Help: Please come to my office hours (to be listed on my main page and this syllabus), or to the help room, where there is always TA - your specific TA(s) help room hours will be posted as well. Also, work with your friends!
Academic Honesty: You are encouraged to work together with classmates on your homework only. Collaboration during exams is considered cheating and is taken very seriously. Cheating during a midterm or final entails failing the course. Please see the honour code for more information.
