Text: The textbook for this course is Calculus (4^th edition), by James Stewart.

Class Participation: You are expected to attend and participate in all lectures, and are responsible for all information given out during them.

Homework: It is absolutely essential to work a large number of problems on a regular basis. Problem assignments will be given in class or posted on the course web page. The homework assignments are the bare minimum for most students to gain basic familiarity with the material. As manager of your own education, it is up to you to work whatever additional problems may be necessary for you to master the subject.

You may consult with other students about the homework problems, indeed I encourage you to do so. However, you will need to write up the solutions clearly, carefully, and in your own words. That is the only way to achieve and retain understanding. It is a complete waste of time to just copy from a solutions manual or from someone else's work.

Answers to the odd-numbered problems appear at the end of the textbook. For help, you can come to my office hours, or make an appointment with me to come at another time. Email is the best way to contact me.

Testing: There will be three in-class examinations. Their dates and coverage will be announced in class.

The final examination will be held in the usual lecture room on Wednesday, December 12, 8:00 to 10:00 a. m. University regulations require that you take it at that time.

Grading system: Your grade will be based mainly on your performance on the examinations. Your homework and your participation in the course may also affect your grade, positively or negatively.

Withdrawal Policy: Until August 31, there is no record of a grade for dropped courses. From September 4 through October 26, you may withdraw and receive a ``W'' grade, no matter what scores you have so far achieved. After October 26, University regulations specify that you may withdraw only in ``very unusual circumstances,'' and only with the permission of the Dean. Avoidance of a low grade is not sufficient reason to obtain permission to withdraw after October 26.

Grade of Incomplete: The grade of ``I'' is a special-purpose grade given when a specific task needs to be completed to finish the coursework. This is typically a term paper or other special assignment, so rarely makes sense in a mathematics course. An ``I'' cannot be given to avoid receiving a low grade.

Academic Misconduct: In the unlikely event that cases of academic misconduct arise, they will be dealt with according to University policies.

Students with Disabilities: If you have a disability that may interfere with the demonstration of your abilities, please contact me as soon as possible to arrange accomodations necessary to ensure your full participation in the course.

Final Grades: You may pick up your graded final exam from me at any time before the end of the next semester. You will be able to obtain your grades from our course website as soon as they are available.

Internet Resources: On the Internet there are numerous websites that contain calculus theory, tutorials, and problems with solutions. Our course web page has links to some calculus sites, and if you follow it to the UC Davis Calculus Page, there is a much longer list there.

Homework Assignments: The homework assignments will be posted on our Homework Assignments page.

Advice: Stay caught up. Always use good mathematical notation. Live with calculus.
