Textbook: Essential Calculus, Second Edition by James Stewart (with online access to We-
bAssign)

Course Description: MATH122 is designed for students who have completed MATH121 or who
have studied calculus in high school, and have a knowledge of the subject matter of MATH121, but
not MATH122. This course is a continuation of MATH121. Topics covered include techniques and
applications of integration and an introduction to sequences and series, the calculus of exponential,
logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions; techniques of integration; plane
analytic geometry; various applications of calculus; sequences and series, including power series
and intervals of convergence.

Course Plan: After a brief review of integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus, we
will cover select sections of Chapters 5 through 9 of the textbook.

Week 1-3: Ch 5 Inverse Functions Week 7-9: Ch 7 Applications of Integration

Week 3-6: Ch 6 Techniques of Integration Week 10-13: Ch 9 Parametric Equations
Ch 8 Series

A more detailed tentative schedule is attached.

Goals for Student Learning: This course fulfills a major requirement for ASTR, BIOL, CHEM,
CHEM-Track B, E&ES, MATH, MB&B, MECO, NS&B, and PHYS, and is a prerequisite for a
number of courses in these areas of study. As such, this course (in continuation with MATH121)
will prepare students to encounter and apply concepts from integral and differential calculus to the
study of real-valued single-variable functions; specifically, the goals for the course are for students
to be able to

• understand the definition of logarithmic and exponential functions,

• understand and apply the concept of definite and indefinite integral,
• develop and apply various advanced integration techniques,
• understand the use of parametric equations in differential and integral calculus,
• understand the concepts and use of sequences and series to study real-valued functions.
Attendance: Consistent and active engagement in class is recommended for success in this course.
In the event of an unexpected absence, students are responsible for obtaining all notes, assignments,
or any other pertinent information distributed during class as well as contacting the instructor for
making up any in-class assessments, if applicable.

Homework: We will be using the online course software WebAssign; instructions for enrolling
are below. Homework assignments will consist of brief exercises based on the material covered in
lecture due every class period. Students may work together; each assignment should take at most
20 to 30 minutes.

Worksheets: In addition to the homework assignments, this course will promote active learning
through small group problem solving and discovery. There will be weekly worksheets consisting of
more thoughtful and explorative questions, meant to be done in groups of three to four. You may
work on these collaboratively during the TA office hour; however, you may work in groups at your
convenience throughout the week.

Quizzes: There will be short 5-minute quizzes held at the end of class Friday (unless there is an
exam that week). All quiz questions will be based on homework and worksheet problems. There
are no makeups on quizzes; however, only your top 6 quiz scores will be counted.

Examinations: There will be two midterm exams and a final exam. The midterm exams will be
50 minutes long and administered during class time; the final exam is comprehensive and will last
3 hours (location TBA).

Midterm Exam 1 Friday, March 3 in class

Midterm Exam 2 Monday, April 23 in class
Final Exam TBA TBA

Please notify the instructor immediately if there is a conflict with any of these examinations. Any
anticipated exam conflicts must be resolved at least one week in advance of the examination
date. There will be reviews sessions for each exam, details TBA.

Grading Scheme: The final term grade will be based on the following:

HW: 20% Worksheets: 10% Quizzes: 10% Midterms: (2 x 17.5) 35% Final exam: 25%

The course grade, based on your total score out of 100, is tentatively set as follows:

100 - 93 A 89 - 87 B+ 82 - 80 B- 76 - 73 C 68 - 59 D 00 - 49 F
92 - 90 A- 86 - 83 B 79 - 77 C+ 72 - 69 C- 58 - 50 E

Make-up Policy: There are no makeups on quizzes; however, missed quizzes due to anticipated
absences may be taken in advance. Make-up exams will be possible only if a student has a valid
reason for not taking the in-class assessment on time. Anticipated absences from tests must be
excused at least a week in advance. Emergency absences (such as illness and family emergency)
must be reported as soon as possible upon your return. Appropriate documentation or a letter
from an academic adviser is absolutely necessary in these cases.
WebAssign: We will use the online courseware WebAssign, found at http://www.webassign.net.
You will do most of your homework online and it will be automatically graded in WebAssign. You
must enroll in the course on WebAssign yourself:
1. You will need an access code. If you already have a WebAssign access code from a previous
course, you don’t need another access code. There is a 14 day trial period with no obligations.
. You will need to enroll using the class key.
2. The class key for the course is

Section 01: wesleyan 6222 2966 Section 02: wesleyan 6901 0408

To enroll in the course, go to http://www.webassign.net and click on “Enter Class Key”.

3. A guide to using WebAssign can be found here: WebAssign Manual.
You must enroll in WebAssign during the first week of class.

Additional Resources: You may find the following additional resources helpful:
• The Math Workshop is located in the basement of the Science Library in Room 88. It is
open Sundays-Thursdays, 7–10pm and Mondays-Thursdays, 11:45–1:15pm. It is staffed by
experienced undergraduates or math graduate students. This is a drop-in tutoring service,
available to all members of the Wesleyan community. Staff members provide a friendly,
relaxed atmosphere while answering questions about mathematics. The workshop is a good
place to go when you get stuck on your math homework. Please contact the Math Workshop
director for more details: cleidy@wesleyan.edu.
• The Deans’ Office Peer Tutoring Program provides supplementary course-content instruction.

Further tutoring resources are available in the Mathematics and Computer Science depart-
ment.
• Instructor and TA office hours are held weekly. Please feel free to use the office hours whenever
you have questions about the course material. If at any point you don’t feel uncomfortable
with the material, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If the posted office hours don’t work
with your schedule, please contact the instructor to arrange an appointment for another time.

Students with Disabilities: Wesleyan University is committed to ensuring that all qualified
