Returning to class after illness:
The University asks students who have been ill to contact
the Student Health Center. They will tell you whatever steps
you need to take before returning to campus. Their phone number is
631-632-6740. Their webpage is
Student Health Services.
Student Resources in Lumen OHM :
The Lumen OHM page includes material like extra practice exercises
and videos on various topics. An alternate link is given
here.
The course name for this page is "MAT 126 Student Resources" and the
enrollment key is the same.
Peer Assisted Learning:
This is a program open to all students where fellow undergraduates
that have already taken the course lead study sessions. The
schedules and contact information is located in the
following link:
PAL schedule for MAY 123, 125, 126
The Stony Brook tutoring center website is located
here.
For more information about PAL, click
here.
Important Note: online versus in-person:
Lecture 1 (this lecture) has online lectures
but in-person recitations which are mandatory to
attend.
Students seeking to be
completely online must enroll in Lecture 3 of MAT 126, taught
by Prof. Dang, and enroll in one of its associated recitations.
If you encounter difficulty doing this on Solar, you can obtain
permission to enroll from Prof. Dang
or the mathematics undergraduate directior, Prof. Sutherland.
The link to the MAT 126 Lecture 3 website is
MAT 126.3 Webpage.
(There is no longer any Lecture 2 for MAT 126.
That lecture was cancelled over
the summer and Lecture 3 was not renamed.)
Masks
The university requires students to wear masks during
in-person recitations. Students without masks will be asked
to leave.
Electronic exam submission
Since exams are given in-person,
students are not required to submit any exam work electronically.
Just fill in the answers on the provided quiz or
midterm papers and turn them in to the teaching
assistant at the end of the exam.
However, students may submit quiz and midterm answers
electronically if they wish. To do this, download and print this
MAT 126 Answer Sheet, which contains 30
empty boxes for multiple choice responses (only use as many are
needed, e.g., 10 for a quiz).
Bring the sheet to
recitation with you and fill it in as you work the exam. When
the exam is over, photograph the form and email to your TA.
Make sure your name and ID number are visible.
The exam itself may not be photographed or kept.
Images of the answer sheets should be submitted
as a PDF file; there are many apps that will convert a
picture to PDF format. For Apple phones there is
Genius Scan, which other
students have reported works well.

Course Summary
This a second course in calculus covering methods and
applications of integration; enrolled students should
have already passed MAT 125 or had an appropriate
score on the Mathematics Department placement exam.
We will cover the definitions of definite and indefinite
integrals, the fundamental theorem of calculus, methods
of explicitly evaluating integrals, methods of numerically
estimating integrals, applications to computing areas,
volumes, arclengths and other applications, parametric
equations and calculus with polar coordinates.
A description of MAT 125 and links to webpages from previous
semesters can be found here . If you need to review limits and
derivatives, look at Chapters 1-4 of
Volume 1 of our current textbook, that can be downloaded from
Open Stax Calculus Vol I
A Lumen OHM course giving review problems of MAT 125 material can
be found
here with course ID 44639 and enrollment
key 'MAT 125 review'. This is not required and is only
made available in case you want to review any MAT 125 topics
on your own.
Internet interuptions
Due to internet problems, online classes may occasionally be
interrupted. If you lose the connection, rejoin when you can;
the lectures will be recored so you can view the missed parts
later. If I am cut off, give me 10-15 minutes to re-establish
the connection; most interruptions are shorter than this. If I
can't come back right away, I will send an email to the class when I
can, and post a recording on any material we did not cover.
With luck, this won't happen too often.
Textbook
The textbook is Volume 2 of Calculus by Open Stax at
Rice University. This is a free online textbook that can be
downloaded from
the link on this page .
If there is a problem with the above link, two alternatives are:
Calculus, Volume 2 and
here.
If you prefer smaller files, here are the individual chapters we
plan to cover:
Chapter 1 ,
Chapter 2 ,
Chapter 3 ,
Chapter 7 .
Links to individual sections of the text are given below in
the lecture schedule.

In-person versus online recitation sections
In order to accomodate students who cannot come to campus
regularly, MAT 126 is taught in two lectures, one with
in-person recitations and one with online recitations.
All Lecture 1 recitations are in-person; students who can't
attend these regularly should enroll in the other lecture and
one of its recitations.
Lecture 2 was canceled, so the other lecture is called Lecture 3.
Lecture 3 of MAT 126 is taught by Prof. Dang (Nguyen-Bac.Dang@stonybrook.edu).
The two MAT 126 lectures will have similar schedules and exams,
and I will try to make it possible for students to view both
lectures if they wish, but for grading will be important to regularly
attend the lecture and recitation that you are enrolled in.
As per current
university requirements for large classes, the twice-a-week
lectures will be online via Zoom, but the once-a-week
recitation sections led by teaching assistants (TAs), will meet
in-person for Lecture 1. Midterms and weekly quizzes will be
administered in recitation, so it is important to attend
regularly. Times are locations are listed below, as well
as contact information for the TAs.
Technical requirements
Since all lectures are presented via Zoom, all students will
need a device with this software installed. Links to the Zoom lectures
are provided in Blackboard.
We will use Lumen OHM for homework, so you will need a device with
a web browser that can connect to the Stony Brook Blackboard site
to access homework. You will also need to access your Stony Brook
Google email to receive occasional emailed announcements (these
will also appear in the Blackboard announcements for the course).
Grades
Grades will be based on 5 types of evaluation:
1. Lumen OHM problems sets (20%):
Lumen provides a free (to the student) Online Homework Management
system that generates random variations of problems selected by
the instructor and grades them automatically.
You do NOT need to sign up for an Lumen OHM account; the
assignments should be visible to you through Blackboard (in fact,
if you access the homework from an individually set up Lumen
OHM account, and not through Blackboard, your
homework grades may not recorded in Blackboard correctly).
We will drop the two lowest homework grades.
Assignments in Lumen OHM are automatically graded by the system, so
you will see the results right away. You will be allowed multiple
attempts to do each problem without a penalty, and to ask for an
alternate version of the problem instead. The due dates of these
will be the same for everyone in MAT 126, regardless of section, usually
on Friday of the week following the week when the relevant material
is presented in lecture (but you are encouraged to do it earlier, and
even try to do them as soon as we covered the material in class).
In general, the Lumen OHM problems only give credit for
a correct answer in the correct form; no partial credit.
ACCESS LUMEN OHM THROUGH BLACKBOARD There is a link to
the class Lumen page in Blackboard, just underneath the Zoom link on
left hand side. It is important to access homework through this link,
so that Lumen knows to transfer your grades back to Blackboard. If you
have used Lumen OHM before, you may have accessed it by first logging in
and then using a Course ID and Enrollment Key, but we are not
using this method for MAT 126 this Fall.
Please let me know if you have any trouble seeing the Lumen content
using the link in Blackboard.
2. Class participation (5%): There will be assignments
in Lumen OHM to be done during lectures: many of these problems
I will do as examples and you simply have to enter my answer
into the assignment. A few I will leave for you to try during
lecture, to ask me questions about and complete after class, if
necessary. You will have 24 hours to complete these problems.
3. Weekly quizzes in recitation (20%, drop worst 2 of 9):
The teaching assistants
will give short (about 20 minutes) quizzes at the end of most
recitations on non-exam weeks.
For in-person recitations, these are
written on a sheet of paper and handed in. For online recitations,
quizzes will be given either using Lumen OHM or Gradescope.
Details will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
No make-up quizzes will be given. The worst two quiz grades will
be dropped and missed quizzes will count among these.
There are no recitation quizzes in weeks 5, 9 and 13, when we
use the recitation meetings to have exams.
4. Exams in recitation (3 exams, 15% each, 45% total):
There will be three exams taking up an entire recitation section
in weeks 5, 9 and 13.
These will cover roughly Chapters 1, 2 and 3
respectively; the exact sections covered on each
exam are given in the lecture schedule below.
For Lecture 1 these
will be paper-and-pencil exams completed on the
provided forms and handed in at the end
of the exam period.
5. Online final exam (10%): There will be a cumulative
online final exam on all the sections of textbook covered
in the class. It will be given in the Lumen OHM system,
the same system used for the online homework.
Some form of online proctoring will be used.
Blackboard
Blackboard
is the Stony Brook University class management system. Your
homework, quiz and exam grades will be posted here. Letter grades
for the course are posted in the Solar System. I will occasionally
post announcements in Blackboard; you should receive email notifications
whenever this occurs. Homework assignments and the online final can be
accessed through your Blackboard account. Also links to the lectures via
Zoom.
Solar System
Solar System
is the Stony Brook University administrative management system
(registration, bills,...). It is not used for classes, except
to post letter grades at the end of the semester..
Stony Brook Gmail
Check your firstname.lastname@stonybrook.edu email

Stony Brook Virtual SINC Site
Late in the course I expect to demonstrate software from the
Virtual Sinc Site.
This gives you access to various software
packages on a university license, such as Mathematica and Matlab.
These systems, among others, are can be used to compute some
difficult integrals symbolically (Section 3.5 of the text) and
most numerically (Section 3.6).
I plan to demonstrate how they are used in lecture,
but I won't require their use on assessments.
Using the virtual Sinc Site requires downloading the
Citrix receiver software (you will be prompted).
Even though we won't need to use the Virtual Sinc Site much in this class,
it is good idea to make sure you can access it for future classes.
Math Learning Center (MLC) and office hours
MLC webpage.
Normally, the MLC is a room in the basement (SL level) of the Math Tower where
you can go for face-to-face help with teaching assistants and faculty
(not necessarily your own instructors). However, for Fall 2020 the
MLC will be entirely online. To use the MLC click this
link for MLC webpage.
You should see a list of tutors who are available right now, and
a schedule of who is available throughout the week.
When there are tutors online, there is a zoom link to the session
for that tutor.
The zoom sessions are set up so that the student needs to be
authenticated, usually with SBU netid,
and the tutor is supposed to use the waiting room
so that they get admitted "on demand" -- typically one student at a time.
Each MAT 126 TA is supposed to hold
three office hours each week, two of which take place in MLC.
You may either seek out your own TA, or get help from whoever is
available at the moment (however, TAs from other classes might not have
access to MAT 126 textbook or assignments, so you will have to
describe the problem to them, or show it to them with the share-screen
feature).
Here is a
link to check who is holding math department
undergraduate advising
hours now (questions about placement exams, classes, scheduling,...).
Here is a
link to check who in the math departement is having
regular (not MLC or advising) office hours now.

MAT 126 Common Final Exam:
2:15pm-5:00pm,
Thursday December 10, 2020.
Commencement: Friday December 18, 2020
Pass/No Credit
The G/P/NC deadline is the last day of classes.
This policy allows you to set a threshhold so that if you
score above the threshold in a class you get a that grade
on your transcript, and otherwise you get a P (for pass) or
NC (no credit), neither of which affects your GPA.
For example, if you set the threshhold at C and if you get a
C- or a D you will get a P in the course (which means it won't
count towards major requirements, but also won't affect your GPA).
A grade of F gives an NC (also won't affect your GPA), and any
grade equal to or higher than your threshhold will count as usual.
Usually one can only P/NC one course per semester, but this semester
the university is allowing students to P/NC two classes.
Details about G/P/NC can be found at
SBU G/P/NC page.

Lecture Schedule
For each week I list sections of the text we plan to cover that week.
When two sections are listed, we will generally do one per lecture.
When there are three listed, the middle topic will often straddle
both lectures.
Online homework on each week's sections will be assigned in Lumen OHM
and due for everyone at the end of the following week. However, it is
very highly
recommended that you to complete the assignment by the time of
your recitation class. Each recitation will end with a short 10-15
minute quiz on the same material, so it is to your advantage to
have done all the problems and ask for help during the recitation,
before the quiz. The problems on Lumen may be redone after
recitation if you missed any originally (that is why they are not
officially due until the end of the week). Homework assignments
will be visible from the beginning of the semester.

Academic Integrity Statement
Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly

Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong.
Faculty is required to report any suspected instances of academic
dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. Faculty in the Health Sciences
Center (School of Health Technology & Management, Nursing,
Social Welfare, Dental Medicine) and School of Medicine are required
to follow their school-specific procedures. For more comprehensive
information on academic integrity, including categories of
academic dishonesty please refer to the academic judiciary website
at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/academic_integrity/index.html
Critical Incident Management
Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights,
privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required
to report to the Office of University Community Standards any
disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach,
compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits
students' ability to learn. Faculty in the HSC Schools and the
School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific
procedures. Further information about most academic matters can be
found in the Undergraduate Bulletin, the Undergraduate Class Schedule,
and the Faculty-Employee Handbook.
