Stewart, 7 th editionPREREQUISITES: You need one algebra AND one trigonometry prerequisite from the table below:AlgebraTrigonometryEither a score of 26 or higher on the ACT Math subtest;Trigonometry Placement Test;Either a score of 7 or higher on the UMSL-------------------------------------------------or a score of 26 or higher on the MMPT------------------------------------------------------(Missouri Math Placement Test);or a grade of C- or higher in Math 1035--------------------------------------------------(Trigonometry).or a grade of C- or higher in Math 1030(College Algebra).If a record of your prerequisites is not in the UMSL system you must provide verification by the end ofthe first week of classes.COURSE OBJECTIVES:• Understand the theory of limits, continuity, differentiation• Become proficient in using the techniques of differentiation• Obtain the ability to apply differentiation to solve related rates and optimization problems• Understand the concept of a Riemann integral and the use of the Fundamental Theorem ofCalculus to calculate Riemann integrals• Use of the method of Riemann sums to find areas, volumes and other geometric and physicalquantities• Develop a proper writing style for solutions of mathematical problemsATTENDANCE: Regular attendance is necessary to succeed in this course. Calculus builds on itselfand missing even one class may leave you at a loss in the future. You are responsible for anymaterial, announcements or other information provided during a missed class period. The instructorwill not provide copies of class notes.HOMEWORK: There are 14 graded homework assignments worth 10 point each. Your lowest 4assignments will be dropped.
