Overview

This course provides a brief overview of differential and integral calculus, including exponential and logarithmic functions and the fundamental theorem. It is primarily intended for those students wanting to take only a single semester of calculus. It does satisfy the mathematics requirements for the business management, psychology, and economics majors. See the document first year mathematics at Stony Brook for other calculus courses.

The textbook for the course is Applied Calculus, 4th Edition by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, Lock, Flath

Announcements

Welcome! Please check this webpage frequently (about once a week) for HW assignments and other important announcements.
Check the official Academic Calendar for important dates and deadlines.
Midterm 1 will take place on Oct 4 (in class). It will cover Chapter 1 and 2 (the sections mentioned in the schedule below). To prepare, please review HW1-4. Take a look at the sample midterm. We will have a review session (in class) on Oct 2, and also special OH on Oct 2 from 5pm to 6:30pm in P-131 (Math).
Midterm 2 will take place on November 13 (in class). It will cover Chapter 3 (3.1-3.4) and Chapter 4 (4.1-4.3). We will have a review session (in class) on Nov 8, and also special OH on Nov 8 from 5-6:30 in Math P-131. Sample Midterm 2 (Note the actual midterm will be shorter). Partial solutions to Sample Midterm 2 (thanks to Zheng!)
HW 8 (due Nov 15) is now available. You can use this HW as practice for Midterm 2.
HW 9 (due Nov 29) and HW 10 (due Dec 6) are now available.
The Final Exam will take place on Wednesday, Dec 12, from 11:15-1:45, in Earth and Space Sciences room 001 (ESS 001). Please be there! There will be no make-up exam, no exceptions.
The final exam will be cumulative, it will cover Ch 1 (functions), Ch 2 and 3 (derivatives), Ch 4 (applications of derivatives), Ch 5 and 7 (definite integrals, antiderivatives, fundamental theorem). In class this week we will finish the material on integration and review the relevant material from Ch 5 and 7. We will have special OH on Tuesday (Dec 4) in Math P-131 from 5 to 6:30.
see Sample Final (this is the sample from a different year, but quite close to what you should expect on our final).
Review Questions for Final. (see also Midterm 1, Midterm 2,Sample Midterm 1, Partial solutions to Sample Midterm 2, Sample Final).
Solutions to the Review Questions for Final.

Grading

There will be 2 midterms and a final. We will have approximately 10 homework assignments and 5 quizzes.
The exams count for 75% of the final grade. The division is roughly: 35% for the final and 20% for each midterm. The remaining 25% will be for the homework assignments and quizzes.
