1.1 Catalogue Description
MATH 41 (GQ) Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry (4 credits)
Math 141 is the second course in a two- or three-course calculus sequence for students in science, engi-
neering and related fields. Calculus is an important building block in the education of any professional
who uses quantitative analysis. This course further introduces and develops the mathematical skills required
for analyzing growth and change and creating mathematical models that replicate reallife phenomena. The
goals of our calculus courses include to develop the students’ knowledge of calculus techniques and to use
the calculus environment to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. This course covers the
following topics: logarithms, exponentials, and inverse trigonometric functions; applications of the definite
integral and techniques of integration; sequences and series; power series and Taylor polynomials; paramet-
ric equations and polar functions. Students may take only one course for credit from MATH 141, 141B, and

2 Mode of Instruction
Classes will be held in-person per University Policy. The in-person lectures are not to be recorded, and if a
student misses a lecture, they should communicate with their instructor and ask classmates for notes. The
student will also need to read the textbook and consult the instructor for help and support.

3 Student Absence
Students who are unable to attend class or complete graded assignments for more than one week at a time
will be required to present documentation to verify their significant, prolonged illness. From UHSPolicies
& Patient Resources:
”For routine illness-related absences, students should correspond directly with the faculty as soon as possi-
ble regarding their situation, ideally, before they miss a class, exam, or other evaluative activity.
University Health Services may provide verification of illness forms for significant prolonged illnesses or
injuries lasting at least a week resulting in absence from classes. When appropriate, students may request
the verification during their clinician visit or send a secure message to their clinician or the Advice Nurse
through myUHS at https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/health/myuhs. If a student wants verification of illness
from University Health Services and has received care from an outside provider for a significant, prolonged
illness, they must provide appropriate documentation to the University Health Services director, 502A Stu-
dentHealth Center, 814-865-6555.”

(c) Apply power series representations to obtain complex power series.
(d) Use power series representation to obtain the exponential form of complex numbers.

5 Calculators

A calculator or any other technological tool such as Desmos, Geogebra, WolframAlpha, and so on
are an excellent tool for crunching numbers and generating plots especially when working real-world
examples as well as a useful study tool. Note, however, that calculators are not necessary to un-
derstand and apply the concepts of the course to examples with simple coefficients. Calculators
will not be allowed during quizzes or exams (all arithmetic computations will be simple enough
to do by hand).

7 Assessments

7.1 Summative Assessments (450 points)

During the semester, this course will have four total examinations. Three of these examinations will
occur during the semester (each examination will be 75-minutes long and worth 100 points each) and
a cumulative final exam will occur during the week of finals (final exam is 110-minutes long and
worth 100 points).

Exam rooms will be announced later. No books and notes are allowed on examinations. You must
bring your University ID card to all exams. The room information for the exams will be announced
on CANVAS. It is not permissible to take the exam in a different instructor’s assigned room.

These exams will be graded on a partial credit scale for correctness and the explanations of the so-
lutions. An answer with no work will not receive credit. Using notes, graphing and programable
calculators, or a calculator other than the one permitted are not allowed, and seeking help from
other students during an exam are grounds for an academic integrity violation and will result
in consequences in accordance with G-9: Academic Integrity

Examination I 02/11/2025 6:15 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.

Examination II 03/20/2025 6:15 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.

Conflict & Makeup Exam Policies In addition to the regularly scheduled midterm examinations,
the math department provides two options for students who are unable to take the midterm at the
scheduled time: a conflict exam and a makeup exam.

• A conflict exam for each of the midterms is offered on the same night as the regularly scheduled
exam at a different time. Students who attend the conflict exam will not be permitted to
leave the exam room until 6:10 pm.
• A makeup exam is scheduled on an evening different from that of the regularly scheduled exam.

In order to qualify for either the conflict or makeup exam, you must have a valid conflict or reason to
take the makeup. If you think you will not be able to take the regularly scheduled exam and would
like to take either the conflict or makeup exam, you must

1. Contact your instructor to determine if you are eligible to take a conflict or makeup exam,
2. Provide all necessary documentation where relevant or necessary,
3. Receive confirmation from your instructor that you are eligible for a conflict or makeup exam,
and
4. Sign up for the conflict or makeup exam using the online signup form provided in CANVAS no
later than the specified deadline (also listed in CANVAS).

Note: Students who miss a regular, conflict, or makeup exam without a valid reason and the
approval of their instructor will receive a zero.

Who May Take The Conflict Exam? If you have a valid conflict with the regular examination time,
such as a class or another official University activity, you may sign up for the conflict exam. If a
student has not signed up for the conflict exam, they will not be permitted to take the exam.

Instructions on Conflict Exam Night. The student is responsible for knowing the room and time of
the conflict examination. Each student must bring his or her University ID to the conflict examina-
tion. The ID will be checked by the proctor. Although the conflict examination will end at 6:05 pm,
no student will be permitted to leave the examination room before 6:10 pm. Any student who leaves
before 6:10 pm will receive a grade of zero on the examination and will not be allowed to retake
it.

Who May Take the Makeup Exam? Students who have a valid University reason (University-
approved curricular and extra-curricular activities) such as a class conflict or illness, during both
the conflict and regular examination times are permitted to schedule a makeup examination with no
penalty. Students must be prepared to verify the reason for taking the makeup and may be asked to
provide documentation. Students who do not have a valid reason for missing the examination
are permitted to schedule the makeup, but at a 25% penalty. Students who have taken either
the regularly scheduled examination or the conflict examination are not permitted to take the makeup
examination. The makeup examinations are given on the evenings and times listed below:

Makeup Examination I 02/19/2025 6:15 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.

Makeup Examination II 03/26/2025 6:15 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.
Makeup Examination III 04/22/2025 6:15 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.

Page 5 of 15
How and When to Sign up for the Makeup Exam A student who is ill on exam night must contact
his or her instructor within 24 hours of the exam. Students must sign up for the makeup exam at the
provided signup link (in CANVAS), as soon as possible following the regular exam date. The online
signup forms for both the conflict exam and the makeup exam are available in CANVAS. The student
is responsible for knowing the room and time of the makeup examination. If a student has not signed
up with his or her instructor, the student will not be allowed to take the makeup exam.

Instructions on Makeup Exam Night The student is responsible for knowing the room and time of
the makeup examination. Each student must bring his or her PSU ID to the makeup examination. The
ID will be checked by the proctor.

What If A Student Misses Both The Regularly Scheduled Exam and The Makeup Exam? If a
student misses both the regularly scheduled examination and the scheduled makeup due to a valid,
verifiable reason, it may be possible to take a makeup examination by appointment. All such makeup
examinations must be scheduled through the classroom instructor and must be completed no later than
one week after the scheduled makeup examination.

What If A Student Misses All Exam Possibilities? If a student misses the regularly scheduled ex-
amination, the conflict exam, the scheduled makeup exam, and the makeup to the makeup option, then
the student will receive a zero on that exam. Unless a student has a valid University-approved absence
and can provide all necessary documentation to support their absence.

Final Examination: The final examination will be given during the week of Monday May 5th -
Friday May 9th, 2025. The final examination may be scheduled on any day during the final
examination period. Do not plan to leave University Park until after Friday May 9th, 2025.
Notification of conflicts is given on the students final exam schedule. There are two types of conflict
examinations: direct and overload. Direct conflicts are two examinations scheduled at the same time.
Overload examinations are three or more examinations scheduled within a fifteen-hour period, from
the beginning of the first examination to the beginning of the third examination. Students may elect to
take three or more examinations on the same day if they wish or request a conflict final examination.
A student must take action to request a conflict exam through LionPATH between February 17th
through March 9th. Conflict final examinations cannot be scheduled through the Mathematics
department, and there will be no sign-up sheet in class for the final conflict examination. Students
who miss or cannot take the final examination due to a valid and documented reason, such as illness,
may be allowed to take a makeup final examination at the beginning of the next semester. Early
flights home, bus tickets to leave town, and family vacations are NOT valid excuses to miss or
reschedule a final exam. If the student does not have a valid reason, and if approved by the
course coordinator, may be allowed to take a conflict final exam, but a 30% penalty will be
imposed. All such makeup examinations must be arranged through the instructor with the approval
of the course coordinator, and students in such a situation should contact their instructor within 24
hours of the scheduled final examination. Students who have taken the original final examination are
not permitted to take a makeup examination.

7.2 Formative Assessments (300 Points)

1. Written homework (100 Points) sets will consist of a set of problems, which will be posted on
CANVAS. Fully worked-out solutions to the homework problems must be uploaded to Canvas or
Page 6 of 15
 GradeScope. Solutions must be clear, legible, have substance, and all answers must be circled.
A solution with no work, will receive no credit. Also, all application questions must include
an interpretation, which might be 1 to 2 sentences long, and appropriate units. Due dates
and times will be posted on CANVAS.

2. Online homework (100 points) need be accessed and completed online through Achieve. Each
problem on the online homework will have 5 attempts to complete, and everyone is allowed to
submit the online homework up to 2 days late, but with a 20% penalty.

3. In-class Quizzes (100 Points) will be scheduled weekly and will occur in-class. Quizzes will
cover the same topics as the homework (online and written homework) of that week.

7.3 LA Sessions

Each week, the Learning Assistants (LAs), who are part of the instructional team, will hold multiple
sessions. Attending these sessions will be part of an attendance grade. These sessions are a con-
tinuation of what we will be discussing in class. By attending these sessions, you (the student) are
strengthening your skills and your understanding of the content. More information about the gen-
eral structure, time, and location will be communicated later via CANVAS. These sessions are not
mandatory, but to incentivize students to attend, the following will be applied:

• If a student attends at least 5 evening LA sessions out of the 9 possible evening LA sessions
during the Exam 1 period, the student will be able to replace their lowest in-class quiz score
during that exam time period with a 100% (10 out of 10).

• If a student attends at least 5 evening LA sessions out of the 11 possible evening LA sessions
during the Exam 2 period, the student will be able to replace their lowest in-class quiz score
during that exam time period with a 100% (10 out of 10).

• If a student attends at least 4 evening LA sessions out of the 9 possible evening LA sessions
during the Exam 3 period, the student will be able to replace their lowest in-class quiz score
during that exam time period with a 100% (10 out of 10).

• If a student attends at least 4 evening LA sessions out of the 8 possible evening LA sessions
during the Final Exam period, the student will be able to replace their lowest in-class quiz score
during that exam time period with a 100% (10 out of 10).

8 Course Policies, Valid Excuses, and Grading Policy

8.1 Course Policies

a. One lowest written homework, one lowest online homework, and one lowest in-class quiz will
be dropped. NO exam score will be dropped.

Page 7 of 15
 b. There are no extra credit assignments available for any student to earn extra points in order for
them to improve their course overall grade.

c. Makeup quizzes and homework extensions (written and/or online) are only given if a student
has a valid excuse and informs their course instructor by email of their absence and inability
to participate the day prior to the quiz or the day prior to when the homework (written and/or
online) is due. However, the instructor has the right to decide on makeups as they see fit.
The student and the instructor must make the appropriate arrangements for an extension on the
homework and to schedule a makeup quiz.

d. If a student often requests makeups and extensions, more than two times, the course instructor
has the right to deny all such requests unless the student has a University-approved reason and
can provide proper documentation when necessary.

e. If a student is scheduled for a makeup quiz and does not show, the instructor has the right to give
the student a zero unless the student has a University-approved reason and can provide proper
documentation when necessary.

f. All makeup quizzes and homework (online and/or written) extensions must be completed promptly.
Preferably, students should complete their makeup quiz and assignments within 24 - 72 hours
from the regular quiz and homework due dates. In case of illness or prolonged circumstances,
students will receive a makeup quiz when they can but may be required to present University-
approved documentation. The student and the instructor must make all appropriate arrangements
to schedule all makeup requests.

g. Questions regarding the grading of exams or missing exam grades should be directed to your
section instructor as soon as possible. Students and instructors will have until the next exam
for the course takes place to review a physical copy of the exam or report a missing grade.
Students will have one week from the date of the final exam to contact their instructor regarding
questions about the final exam or a missing final exam grade. After each midterm examination,
the student will have until the next exam to bring any issues about the grades or grading up to
their course instructor for review. This means that
• issues about exam 1 grade or grading should be brought up to the course instructor’s atten-
tion before exam 2,
• issues about exam 2 grade or grading should be brought up to the course instructor’s atten-
tion before exam 3,
• and issues about exam 3 grade or grading should be brought up to the course instructor’s
attention before the last day of classes.
All paper copies of the exams will be shredded right before the next exam. Therefore, students
must fully review their examination grades and grading after the exams are released on Grade-
Scope. Any late requests will not be considered.

8.2 Exam Policies and Valid Excuses

During the course, many possible situations arise that result in your inability to attend class, attend
exams, or perform at a minimally acceptable level during an examination. Illness or injury, fam-
ily emergencies, certain University-approved curricular and extra-curricular activities, and religious
holidays can be legitimate reasons to miss class or to be excused from a scheduled examination.
Page 8 of 15
a. With regard to family emergencies, you must provide verifiable documentation of the emer-
gency. Given the vast array of family emergencies, the instructor will provide precise guidance
as to what constitutes adequate documentation. Unless the emergency is critical, you should
notify the instructor in advance of your absence from the scheduled course event. In cases of
critical emergencies, you must notify the instructor within one week of your absence.

b. For University-approved curricular and extra-curricular activities, verifiable documentation is

also required. The student should obtain from the unit or department sponsoring the activity a
letter (or class absence form) indicating the anticipated absence(s). The letter must be presented
to the instructor at least one week prior to the first absence.

c. In the case of religious holidays, the student should notify the instructor by the third week of the
course of any potential conflicts.

d. Students who have a valid University reason, such as a class conflict or illness, during both the
conflict and regular examination times are permitted to schedule a makeup examination with no
penalty. Students must be prepared to verify the reason for taking the makeup and may be asked
to provide documentation. Students who do not have a valid reason for missing the examina-
tion are permitted to schedule the makeup, but at a 25% penalty. Students who have taken
either the regularly scheduled examination or the conflict examination are not permitted to take
the makeup examination.

e. A student who is ill on exam night must contact their course instructor within 24 hours of the
exam. Students must sign up for the makeup exam at the provided signup link (in CANVAS), as
soon as possible following the regular exam date. The online signup forms for both the conflict
exam and the makeup exam are available in CANVAS.

f. If a student misses the regularly scheduled examination and the regularly scheduled makeup due
to a valid, verifiable reason, it may be possible to have one opportunity to take a makeup
examination by appointment. All such makeup examinations must be scheduled through the
classroom instructor and must be completed no later than one week after the scheduled makeup
examination.

g. If a student misses the regularly scheduled examination, the conflict exam, the scheduled makeup
exam, and the makeup to the makeup option, then the student will receive a zero on that exam.
Unless a student has a valid University-approved absence and can provide all necessary docu-
mentation to support their absence.

h. An important note for final exams: Early flights home, bus tickets to leave town, and family
vacations are NOT valid excuses to miss or reschedule a final exam. Students should make
plans to leave campus AFTER all their scheduled exams are completed. It is best not to book
flights that leave during finals week. Instructors must give the final exams according to the Uni-
versity schedule and cannot give makeups or reschedules for non-valid or non-approved excuses.
The final examination will be given during the week of Monday May 5th - Friday May 9th,
2025. The final examination may be scheduled on any day during the final examination
period. Do not plan to leave University Park until after Friday, Friday May 9th, 2025.

9 General University Policies

9.1 LATE-DROP

Students may add/drop a course without academic penalty within the first six calendar days of the
semester. A student may late drop a course within the first twelve weeks of the semester. After
the first six days and before deciding to late drop this course, each student should consult with their
academic advisor. The late drop deadline for Spring 2025 is Friday, April 11 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).

9.2 Deferred Grades

Students who are currently passing a course but are unable to complete the course because of illness or
emergency may be granted a deferred grade which will allow the student to have up to ten weeks from
the final grade reporting deadline to complete the course. Note that deferred grades are limited to those
students who can verify and document a valid reason for not being able to take the final examination.
Approval needs to be granted prior to the beginning of the final exam period of the semester in which
the course is taken. For more information see https://www.registrar.psu.edu/grades/deferred.cfm

9.3 Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner.
Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The Pennsylvania State
University, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this
Page 10 of 15
principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University’s Code of Conduct states that all students
should act with personal integrity, respect other students’ dignity, rights and property, and help create
and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts. Academic
integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or
deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University com-
munity and compromise the worth of work completed by others.
According to Penn State policy G-9: Academic Integrity, an academic integrity violation is an in-
tentional, unintentional, or attempted violation of course or assessment policies to gain an academic
advantage or to advantage or disadvantage another student academically. Unless your instructor tells
you otherwise, you must complete all course work entirely on your own, using only sources that have
been permitted by your instructor, and you may not assist other students with papers, quizzes, exams,
or other assessments. If your instructor allows you to use ideas, images, or word phrases created by
another person (e.g., from Course Hero or Chegg) or by generative technology, such as ChatGPT,
you must identify their source. You may not submit false or fabricated information, use the same
academic work for credit in multiple courses, or share instructional content. Students with questions
about academic integrity should ask their instructor before submitting work. Students facing allega-
tions of academic misconduct may not drop/withdraw from the affected course unless they are cleared
of wrongdoing (see G-9: Academic Integrity). Attempted drops will be prevented or reversed, and
students will be expected to complete course work and meet course deadlines. Students who are found
responsible for academic integrity violations face academic outcomes, which can be severe, and put
themselves at jeopardy for other outcomes which may include ineligibility for Deans List, pass/fail
elections, and grade forgiveness. Students may also face consequences from their home/major pro-
gram and/or The Schreyer Honors College.

9.4 Disability Services

Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University’s educational programs. Every
Penn State campus has an office for students with disabilities. Student Disability Resources (SDR)
website provides contact information for every Penn State campus http://equity.psu.edu/sdr/disability-
coordinator. For further information, please visit Student Disability Resources website:
http://equity.psu.edu/sdr/. In order to receive consideration for reasonable accommodations, you must
contact the appropriate disability services office at the campus where you are officially enrolled, par-
ticipate in an intake interview, and provide documentation: See documentation guidelines
http://equity.psu.edu/sdr/guidelines. If the documentation supports your request for reasonable ac-
commodations, your campus disability services office will provide you with an accommodation letter.
Please share this letter with your instructors and discuss the accommodations with them as early as
possible. You must follow this process for every semester that you request accommodations.

9.5 Educational Equity and Report Bias

Consistent with University Policy AD29, students who believe they have experienced or observed a
hate crime, an act of intolerance, discrimination, or harassment that occurs at Penn State are urged to
report these incidents as outlined on the Universitys Report Bias webpage http://equity.psu.edu/reportbias/

9.6 Counseling and Psychological Services

Many students at Penn State face personal challenges or have psychological needs that may interfere
with their academic progress, social development, or emotional wellbeing. The University offers a
Page 11 of 15
variety of confidential services to help you through difficult times, including individual and group
counseling, crisis intervention, consultations, online chats, and mental health screenings. These ser-
vices are provided by staff who welcome all students and embrace a philosophy respectful of clients
cultural and religious backgrounds, and sensitive to differences in race, ability, gender identity and
sexual orientation.
