Course Information:
Prerequisites:
Textbook:

Ontario Grade 12 Mathematics: Advanced Functions, or MATH 0005 & MATH 0006
J. Hass, M.D. Weir, G.B. Thomas, Single Variable University Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 3rd ed.,
available at the Campus Bookstore.

Course Overview:

Limits. Differentiation of the elementary functions, including trigonometric functions. Rules of

differentiation. Applications of differentiation: max-min problems, curve sketching,
approximations. Introduction to integration: definite and indefinite integrals, areas under curves,
fundamental theorem of calculus.

Classes

All lectures will have Powerpoint Presentations posted on cuLearn. It is highly recommended that you
print the slides and bring them in as we will be discussing all of the content presented in the slides.
Remember, it is crucial for your learning to understand the material as well as practice the material.
Keeping up with the homework assignments will be key to your success in this course.

Calculators:

No calculators or other memorandum will be allowed on tests or exams.

Tutorial Centre:
3422 HP (near the Science Student Success Centre): This is a drop-in centre where students in elementary courses can get
one-on-one help in mathematics and statistics, on a first come first serve" basis. For more information, including hours of
operation, see http://www5.carleton.ca/math/math-tutorial-centre/
MS-LAP:
The Mathemtatics and Statistics Learning Assistance Program (MS-LAP) is available for this course. You have access to
online office hours, and online video solutions (similar to Khan-Academy) to homework questions from your textbook.
You access all of this (free of charge) via CuLearn (under your courses, you should see an extra course called MS-LAP).
For more information, please visit: http://carleton.ca/math/math-learning-assistance-program/
PASS Program:
PASS is different from tutorials, discussion groups and labs; it is a relaxed, informal environment, where students are
not being graded or judged in any way. PASS facilitators incorporate a variety of fun activities in order to shows students
how to integrate new academic skills with important course content.

In the average PASS workshop, students can expect to work through a handout with their peers and with
guidance from the facilitator, who is a student who previously took the course and received an A- or above. The
PASS facilitator does not re-lecture, but instead encourages students to participate and collaborate with one
another, in order to encourage independent learning.

Assessment:
Tutorials (10%):

Tutorial Tests (40%):

Final Exam (50%):

Tutorials is a time to practice the material. You will be working in teams of 3-4 students in the
tutorial practicing problems that will be given to you. You should be practicing the recommended
problem sets at home, and working with you TA and fellow classmates in tutorial to make sure
you are comfortable with the concepts. Practice makes perfect! To obtain your mark for the
tutorial, you must answer at least 3 of the 6 questions correctly. Only the final answer will count,
so make sure to check your work. Full solutions will be provided to you so that you may
determine your errors (if any are made).
There will be 4 tests to be taken place in the tutorials. Provided that you maintain at least
30% on every test, the lowest test will be dropped. Each test will be weighted equally.
There will be no make up tests. If you provide adequate documentation (doctors note,
etc...), then I will adjust the weight of each test accordingly, otherwise a mark of 0 will be
given for the test. You must bring your student card to each test and exam and place it on
your desk where it is visible. The dates of the tests will be: Sep 21, Oct 5, Nov 2, &
Nov 16. Any request to review your grade for your test or tutorial must be done within
two weeks of receiving the grade.
The final exam will be a three hour closed book exam to be held during the exam period set by
Carleton University. The questions will be similar to those seen on the tests, and in the homework
assignments. Students who wish to review their final examination paper must do so within two
weeks from the release of final grades. This privilege is for educational purposes and not an
opportunity to argue about the marking.

The above grading scheme applies only when the Term Grade is at least 20/50. A Term Grade of less than 20/50
will automatically result in a failure with the final grade of FND (Fail with No Deferral), regardless of the result of
the final exam.
Policies:
Academic Integrity:

Pregnancy or Religious
Obligation:

All tests and exams are to be done independently. Any instance of suspected cheating or
plagiarism will not be tolerated. Suspected cheating will be reported to the Dean, according to the
policies stated in General Regulations. For more information, please consult:
http://www.carleton.ca/cu0607uc/regulations/acadregsuniv14.html

Write to me with any requests for academic accommodation during

the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is
known to exist. For more details see
http://carleton.ca/equity/accommodation/academic/students/

Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities:

The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities
(LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability
requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC
at 613-520-6608 or pmc@carleton.ca for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your
PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks
before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable).
After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please
consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam.
