2. Course description
The goal of MATH 109 is to continue the study of calculus on the real line, which you started in Calculus
I, with a focus on integration, the basics of dierential equations, as well as sequences and series.
Calculus is a beautiful and venerable subject, whose main aim is to understand the properties of functions,
and how they can be used to describe and predict the behavior of various physical systems. The prominence and importance of such study reaches far beyond the pure mathematical endeavor into numerous
applications, among others in engineering, natural sciences, and economics.
Students enter MATH 109 from a variety of backgrounds. Regardless of your background coming in, our
goal is to help every one of you succeed, and enjoy yourselves as much as possible in the process!
However, calculus is often a subtle and challenging subject, and experience has taught us (both as students
once ourselves, and as educators) that success in MATH 109 requires a lot of work, many hours of study
and problem solving, and your active involvement in learning, both inside and outside the classroom. We
have designed our course with the aim of helping you stay constantly involved with the course and the
material, and within easy reach of some of your best resources: your instructor, your teaching assistants,

and your colleagues! Working (quite hard!) together, you will find that at the end of the semester you have
not only learned the basics of the course, but mastered the concepts, their connections, and many of their
possible applications!
3. Course Information
This course covers chapters 7, 9-11 in the textbook.
Course Structure: This course consists of three hours of lecture (one hour on each of Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday) and a fourth hour of discussion/problem solving each week. The lecture location and time can
be found on the top of this syllabus. Please see your class schedule for the specific time and location of your
discussion/problem solving section. In addition, your instructor and TA will be available during their office
hours.

4. Course Policies
Cell phones: You may not use your phone during lecture or discussion/problem solving sessions for any
reason. We ask that you stay focused on the material while attending class. If this becomes a problem, your
instructor or teaching assistant will ask you to leave the room.
Grading policies: There will be weekly homework sets (20%), 2 in-lecture exams (40%) and a final (40%).
There will be no make-ups on exams. It is allowable for a student to be excused for a missed exam if one has
a valid reason (acute illness, accident, or other reason preventing one from attending the exam and beyond
the students control). The DUS can determine whether the excuse is valid of not. Should a student be
excused from an exam, the score for that missed exam will be calculated based on the students performance
on all remaining exams. Should a student be excused from a final exam, a suitable makeup period and
exam will have to be negotiated between the student and me. All exams that are missed without a valid
excuse are given the score of 0.
Grading scale: A fixed scale is to be determined along the course. Its expected about 30% of the class
are given an A.
Homework: Homework based on the weeks lectures will be posted on the course website sometime
prior to that week. That assignment will be due in recitation sections in the following week. You are
encouraged to do your homework in groups. You are required, however, to write up your homework on
your own. There will be five problems from each homework set to be graded. The grades reflect both your
analytical and reasoning skills on the graded problems and the completeness of the entire set.
5. Exams
Midterm 1: October 7. Covering up to 10.2.
Midterm 2: November 9. Covering from Midterm 1 up to 11.5.
Final Exam: December 13, 9-12 noon.
6. Students with disabilities
Students with documented disabilities or other special needs who require accommodation must register
with Student Disability Services. After that, remind the instructor of the specific needs at two weeks prior
to each exam; the instructor must be provided with the official letter stating all the needs from Student
Disability Services. For more information:
http://web.jhu.edu/disabilities
7. JHU ethics statement
The strength of the university depends on academic and personal integrity. In this course, you must
be honest and truthful. Ethical violations include cheating on exams, plagiarism, reuse of assignments,
improper use of the Internet and electronic devices, unauthorized collaboration, alteration of graded assignments, forgery and falsification, lying, facilitating academic dishonesty, and unfair competition.
Report any violations you witness to the instructor. You may consult the associate dean of students
and/or the chairman of the Ethics Board beforehand. Read the Statement on Ethics at the Ethics Board
website for more information.
