Textbook and Calculator

Calculus and Its Applications (9th edition)
M. Bittenger, D. Ellenbogen
Addison Wesley 2007, ISBN 0-32-139534-4
A copy of this textbook is on reserve in the library.

A graphing calculator is recommended. The TI-83/TI-83 Plus will be used by the instructor. The use of the TI-83/TI-83 Plus, TI-84/TI-84 Plus, TI-86, and TI-82 will be allowed on exams. The TI-89 and above are not allowed on exams.

Homework and Quizzes

Homework is for practice only and will help you prepare for the quizzes and examinations. Homework will not count toward your course grade.

Quizzes do count toward your course grade and must be submitted via MathXL. Homework and Quizzes and due dates can be accessed via mathxl.com. Homework and quiz assignments will be updated regularly.

Each quiz question is worth 1 point. At the end of the semester, the quiz points you have earned will be summed to get your QUIZ POINT TOTAL which will then be scaled to 50 points. Here is an example of how it works. Let’s say your QUIZ POINT TOTAL is 120 (out of 126 assigned points). Solve the equation 120/126 = x/50 for x to get your SCALED QUIZ SCORE (x = 47.62). See Grading Procedures below for how to calculate your final grade using this SCALED QUIZ SCORE.
