Calculus 2 MCC The Charles Finney HS Mr. Latona

CALCULUS is one of the most exciting, wide-reaching courses in Mathematics that a student will encounter. It is through Calculus that one understands the precise relationships that allow predictions into the motions of moving bodies and the effects of forces. Calculus enables scientists to predict the motions of planets and stars through space, describes the delicate structure of a snowflake, and allows industry to maximize profits and minimize costs based on gathered data and mathematical models. The practical applications are nearly endless. Indeed, a deep understanding of the physical world around us is impossible without Calculus. This course focuses on the study of the calculus. Students will prepare to take a final exam at the college level from MCC. These high standards require a level of commitment beyond that expected for nearly every course you have taken to this point. You will be expected to research topics at various levels using the Internet, published books on Calculus and other resources available to you. The ability to do independent study is vital to your success in this course. Thus, expect tests/quizzes where you will not have access to a calculator, but also commit a great amount of effort toward learning all the attributes and features of your calculator. The use of technology in calculus only adds to the understanding and achievement a student can reach in calculus. Calculus is required of most students who enter a technical course of study in college (math, science, medicine, engineering, etc.). This course is designed to prepare you for college level study, using college level materials. The work ethic on the student's part must rise to meet those standards. Course Text::

Calculus (5th Ed) by Larson,

Calculators: It is required that all students obtain their own calculators for use at home. My recommendation is a TI-83+ Graphing Calculator. There are other models available, and the choice of calculator is essentially up to the student

ATTENDANCE: If you are going to be absent for any extended time, you or your parent should contact me through the main office (or use my email) to arrange make up work. Assignments will be posted in the classroom for you to consult after brief absences. It is always the student's responsibility to inquire about what assignments / tests were missed during absences. This should be done before or after school. Class time is for learning and instruction, not for obtaining make-up work assignments. Your cooperation with this is expected and appreciated.

CONTACTING YOUR INSTRUCTOR & EXTRA-ASSISTANCE: I will make my best effort to be in school at least 45 minutes early every morning and I generally am available every afternoon (except when I am required to attend faculty meeting). Please do not hesitate to take advantage of this extra time.Feel free to email me with any questions/concerns you have. School: [email protected] MTH 211 - Calculus II In this course, Riemann sums leading to definite integrals are used in applications to problems in physics and geometry. Also included are: techniques of integration, improper integrals, indeterminate limit forms, infinite series, Taylor polynomials, power series, and an introduction to first-order separable differential equations and their slope fields. A specific calculator will be required of all students in this course. 4.000 Credit hours Prerequisite: MTH 175 with grade of C or higher, or high school precalculus course with a grade of B (83) or higher Calculus II - Semester Outline *All dates supplied in the course outline are tentative and subject to change.
