University-wide Withdrawal Date: Please note that the last day to withdraw with a W is March 28, 2016. It
will be strictly enforced.

COURSE GOALS
Course Objectives
Students should (a) develop greater depth of understanding of integration and its importance in scientific and
engineering applications, (b) learn about series, including their convergence properties and their use in
representing functions, (c) gain experience in the use of approximation in studying mathematical and scientific
problems and the importance of mathematically understanding and evaluating the accuracy of approximations,
(d) learn new ways of mathematically representing curves and how to use calculus in these settings, and (e)
learn alternative coordinate systems which are natural for many problems and learn how calculus can be
applied in these systems.
Students should gain an appreciation for the importance of calculus in scientific, engineering, computer, and
other applications.
Students should gain experience in the use of technology to facilitate visualization and problem solving.
Course Outcomes
Students have improved logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Students have a greater understanding of the importance of calculus in science and technology.
Students are prepared for further study in mathematics as well as science, engineering, computing, and other
areas.
Course Assessment: The assessment of objectives is achieved through homeworks, quizzes, and common
examinations with common grading.

POLICIES
DMS Course Policies: All DMS students must familiarize themselves with, and adhere to, the Department of
Mathematical Sciences Course Policies, in addition to official university-wide policies. DMS takes these policies
very seriously and enforces them strictly.
Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:
Homework, Quizzes, and Matlab

15%

Common Midterm Exam I

15%

Common Midterm Exam II

Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve. NOTE: This course needs to be passed

with a grade of C or better in order to proceed to subsequent courses such as MATH 211, MATH 213, or
MATH 222.

Attendance Policy: Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read
and fully understand the Math Departments Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Day
sections of Math 112 meet four times a week; there are three lectures and one recitation.
Homework Policy: Calculus is learned by solving problems. In Math 112, there are two kinds of homework
assignments: 1) assignments which are written out by hand and turned in, and 2) assignments which are
completed online. The homework assignments are listed on the syllabus; the * superscript denotes those
problems which constitute the hand-in assignments while the remaining problems constitute the online
assignments.
The online assignments can be completed at WWW.MYMATHLAB.COM or WWW.COURSECOMPASS.COM. In
order access the online assignments you need to have a student access code. Access codes are included with
new book that is bundled with MyMathLab; codes can be purchased separately from the textbook at the
campus bookstore or online at the course website. If you buy a new book from another source make sure it is
bundled with MyMathLab. In addition, on the first day of class your course instructor will give you an
additional code needed to access the online assignments. NOTE: Homework Assignments are DUE frequently
(at least weekly) at the dates and times specified online and by your instructor.
How to Get Started with MyMathLab:
Getting Started
Technology Tips
MATLAB Assignments: MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and
engineering curricula. Two MATLAB assignments will be given during the semester; tutors are available to help
students having difficulties in accordance with a posted schedule.
Quiz Policy: Quizzes are given in class on a frequent basis (at least weekly). All of the quizzes will be graded.
The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to help you prepare for the
exams.
Exams: There will be three common midterm exams held during the semester and one comprehensive
common final exam. Exams are held on the following days:
Common Midterm Exam I

February 17, 2016

Common Midterm Exam II

March 9, 2016

Common Midterm Exam III

April 13, 2016

Final Exam Period

May 6 -12, 2016

The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 PM for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 PM for evening students.
The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. Make sure you
read and fully understand the Math Department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.
Makeup Exam Policy: To properly report their absence during a midterm or final exam, please review the
required steps under the DMS Examination Policy found here:

http://math.njit.edu/students/policies_exam.php
Mandatory Tutoring Policy: Based upon academic performance indicating a significant gap in understanding of
the course material, students may receive a notice of being assigned to mandatory tutoring to assist in filling
the gap. A student will have 2 points deducted from the course average for each instance in which the
required tutoring is not completed by the stated deadline.
Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be switched off during all class times.
