MATH 1352: Calculus II

Course Details

• Instructor: Dr. B. K. Ghosh (bijoy.ghosh@ttu.edu)
• Text: Calculus, 5th Ed., by Strauss, Bradley and Smith
• Prerequisite: MATH 1351

Material Covered

• Chapter 6: Additional Applications of the Integral
• Chapter 7: Methods of Integration
• Chapter 8: Infinite Series
• Chapter 9: Vectors in the Plane and in Space

Evaluation

There will be four in-class exams, each one hour and twenty minutes long, and each counting 15% of your grade. These exams will be announced and come approximately at the end of Chapters 6, 7, 8, and 9. Homework will count 10% of your grade.

There are no make-up exams except for sickness and participation in a university-sponsored event. In such circumstances, evidence of your sickness or participation in a university-sponsored event must be presented to the instructor.

Grading Policy

Student Learning Outcomes

MATH 1352 satisfies the university core curriculum requirement in mathematics: “Students graduating from Texas Tech University should be able to demonstrate the ability to apply quantitative and logical skills to solve problems.” It meets the TTU general education student learning outcomes for mathematics in that students will:

• apply arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and statistics to solve problems
• represent and evaluate basic mathematical information numerically, graphically, and symbolically
• interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics, and draw inferences from them

Students become proficient in techniques of integration and the use of integration to solve real-world problems. They also understand the basic properties of convergent series and sequences. In particular, students will:

• compute areas and volumes
• solve real-world problems involving selected concepts from the physical and life sciences, and economics
• integrate using substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions
• analyze the convergence of infinite series and sequences
• perform basic vector algebra

In short, students should master the material covered in the assigned chapters.

Assessment

The assessment of student progress will include some or all of the following:

1. four exams during the semester
2. a comprehensive final given at the conclusion of the course
3. graded homework and assignments
4. in-class discussion of homework problems or problems from the text similar to the assigned problems
5. one-on-one consultation during office hours

Important Dates

ADA Compliance

Any student who, because of a disability, may require special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements. Students should present appropriate verification from Student Disability Services during the instructor’s office hours. Instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodations to a student until appropriate verification from Student Disability Services has been provided. For additional information, contact the Student Disability Services office at 335 West Hall or 806-742-2405.

Religious Holy Day Observance

Texas House Bill 256 requires institutions of higher education to excuse a student from attending classes or other required activities, including examinations, for the observance of a religious holy day. The student shall also be excused for time necessary to travel. An institution may not penalize the student for the absence and must allow the student to take an exam or complete an assignment from which the student is excused. No prior notification of the instructor is required.

Class Notes
