Prerequisites: Math 9, or a 3 on the
AP Calculus AB Exam. For more detailed placement questions, please
consult
http://www.math.brown.edu/~res/DUS/Placement/
Attendance: You should attend every lecture and go to the recitation
section each week. Should you miss a lecture or a recitation, even if
you have a good reason for doing so, like an emergency or religious
observance, you are still responsible for knowing the content of the
lecture, including organizational matters such as changes in homework
assignments or exam dates.
Text: Calculus - early transcendentals, Single
Variable, by J. Stewart.
Editions 5, 6 or 7 would work. If you can get just volume
2 and if it contains chapters 5-11 it will suffice.
We will review material in chapters 5-6 and cover material in
chapters 7-11.
Where to go for additional help :
1. Office hours, will be listed above during the first week of classes.
2. The Math Resource Center helps students with calculus,
both with homework problems and with concepts from lecture.
Drop in help is available
in Kassar House, Room 105, expected schedule Monday-Thursday 8:00 PM - 9:50 PM.

Homework is given every class. Homework will be collected on mycourses the following week and comprise, along with quizzes, 10-15% of your final grade, so take it seriously! You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with other students or with the instructor or teaching assistant, but the solution you write must be yours. A tutor must not solve your problems! We recommend doing your homework right after the relevant class. No late submissions accepted.
Complete solutions must be submitted. A numerical answer is insufficient without the steps that led to it. You must provide such steps even if your calculator or computer can do it all for you! In fact, many of the assigned problems will have solutions in the back of the book, so the whole point is the complete solution. Homework must be written out or typed legibly.
Homework will be announced via e-mail, posted on mycourses, and on the class web page.
Exams (midterm schedule subject to changes):
Quizzes: A quiz will often be given during the discussion session. Grades will be given and affect the final grade.
Calculators are not required.
Grading:
Your grade will be computed based on the homework and quizzes (10-15%), the two midterm exams (20-25% each) and the final (40%).
Standard Academic Conduct Statement: Your conduct in this course, as with all courses, is governed by the Brown Academic Conduct Code, http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/academic_code/code.html .
The general rule: you may discuss your assignments with classmates, instructors, math resource center tuturs, etc., but the submitted assignment must be worked out in writing by you alone. Exam work is strictly individual and you may only consult material which is explicitly approved by the instructor. If you have any doubt about any aspect of academic conduct, ask.
