\bigskip
{\bf COURSE OUTLINE.} MAT 141 is the first semester of the two-semester
calculus sequence
MAT 141, 142.
We will study differential and integral calculus with emphasis
on the underlying {\it theory} of calculus
We will often need to use
trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. You
should familiarize yourself again with these by the end of the first
two lectures
by using Section P of the textbook.


\smallskip
{\bf TEXTBOOK}: {\it Thomas's Calculus, early transcendental}, by
Finney, Weir and Giordano, Addison Wesley, 2001.



\smallskip
{\bf PREREQUISITES}: Level 5  on the Mathematics Placement
Examination. This exam will be given on several dates in
September. Check the Math
 Undergraduate Office (P-144 Math Tower, phone 2-8250) for times and places.
 There will also be an in-class 141-Placement-Test on Friday Sept
 13.





\bigskip
{\bf SYLLABUS}: We will cover sections P1-P6, 1.1-1.5, 2.1-2.9
(only the formulas in 2.8), 3.1-3.6 (not 3.4), 4.1-4.7 (not 4.3),
5.1-5.3. A week-by-week syllabus will be  available on the
course's web-page. You should regard reading the relevant sections
of the textbook as an implicit part of each homework. Try not to
regard the text as a resource to turn to only if you get into
trouble with the homework problems. You are responsible for all
material in the sections above  (unless explicitly told otherwise)
even if it is not covered in lectures or
 recitations.

{\bf GRADE}: Midterm I $= 20\%$, Midterm II $=20\%$, Final$ =
40\%$, Homework $= 10\%$, Quizzes = $10\%$. Maximum scores:
Midterms 1 and 2: 200pts each; each homework: 10pts (the best ten
are used to grade); each quiz: 25 pts (the best four are used to
grade; final 400pts. Total maximum: 1000pts. The numerical grade
will be converted to a final letter grade only AFTER the final
test has been graded. However, after each midterm an {\it
approximate} letter grade will be given to you.



\bigskip
{\bf SCHEDULE OF EXAMS}

141-Placement-Test: Fr Sept 13, in class.

Midterm I: Mo Oct 14, in class.

Midterm II: Mo Nov 18, in class.

FINAL: Fr Dec 20, 11 am - 1:30 pm (place to be announced).



\medskip
{\bf IMPORTANT}. You must bring your SUNY ID to the exams. There
will be no make-ups for missed exams, homework and quizzes.
However, if you miss an exam for an acceptable and documented
reason, then the relevant mid-term will be `dropped' (ignored) in
computing your course grade. A letter stating that you were seen
by a doctor or other medical personnel is NOT an acceptable
document, unless it states that it was reasonable/proper for you
to seek medical attention and medically necessary for you to miss
the exam (for privacy reasons this note/letter need not state
anything beyond this). Incompletes will be granted only if
documented circumstances beyond your control prevent you from
taking the final exam.



\medskip
{\bf HOMEWORK}: Assigned weekly by  the T.A. during your recitation and
also posted on the web. Due
the following week during your recitation.
Only some of the problems will
be graded, but which
ones will not be announced in advance. {\bf Late homework will
 not be accepted. No exceptions.}


\medskip
{\bf QUIZZES}: Quizzes will be given and returned graded once or
twice a month during recitations. The dates will be announced
during recitations.


\medskip
{\bf CALCULATORS}: Calculators,  books, notes etc.
are not allowed during exams.
If you need to bring a backpack  etc. to an exam,  you must place it,
all pockets and flaps closed in plain sight of the proctors. If you
need to open it (for example if you need a pen) ask  the proctors first.




\medskip
{\bf CONTACTING THE INSTRUCTOR AND/OR THE TEACHING ASSISTANT.} The
best way is to approach us after the lectures/recitations or to
see us during office hours. You may use e-mail, but it is less
efficient. E-mail is not, however, a good way to ask math
questions, as our typing abilities are very limited. After the
course is over, if you have any questions about your final grade
send a letter (not an e-mail) to your instructor, c/o Dept. Math,
SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook N.Y. 11794-3651. You will receive a
written reply. These matters will be dealt with in writing only;
that way, we have a written record of what the student says, and
what we reply.


\medskip
{\bf ETIQUETTE.} {\bf Punctuality}: no late arrivals, no early
departures: they are disruptive. If, occasionally, you need to
arrive late and/or leave early, let me know beforehand. {\bf
Silence}: it is always a good rule and even more important for us
since it is a big class; do show respect to other fellow students
by not disturbing the class. {\bf NO CELLULAR PHONES.} {\bf NO
FOOD.}






\bigskip
{\bf SPECIAL NEEDS.} If you have a physical, psychiatric, medical,
or learning disability that may affect your ability to carry out
the assigned course work, please contact the office of Disabled
Student Services (DSS), Humanities Building, room 133, telephone
632-6748/TDD. DSS will review your concerns and determine, with
you, what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All
information and documentation of disability is confidential.
