This is an introductory course in Calculus designed to meet the needs of students in the biological and medical sciences. Topics to be discussed include basics on differential and integral calculus. Concepts will be motivated with biological examples emphasizing that calculus is an important tool in the life sciences. Students who desire a strong mathematical grounding, enabling them to take most advanced math courses and courses in the physical sciences, should consider taking the 110.108-109 sequence instead of this course. |

The course grade will be determined as follows: Homework: 15% Homework will be assigned Monday and due the following Monday. Homework assignments will be posted on this webpage. Homework will be collected at the beginning of class on Monday. Late homework will not be accepted. Missing homework counts as as 0. Quizzes in section may also form part of your homework grade. The purpose of the homework is to gain better understanding of the material. You are encouraged to discuss the homework problems with each other. You must, however, write up your own homework solutions. You may not consult any answer key or solution manual for any homework problems submitted for a grade. Violation either of these rules is a breach of academic integrity and will be dealt with accordingly. Midterms: 25% There will be two in class exams, one on Monday March 3, and one on Monday April 14. The first exam is scheduled so that the grades will be available before the final add/drop date. Final Exam: 35% The final exam will take place during the regularly scheduled time for this class. It will be comprehensive. There will be no make-up exams. For excused absences, the grade for a missed exam will be a weighted average of subsequent exam grades. Unexcused absences count as a 0. Documentation of illness etc. must be obtained from the Office of Academic Advising. Any request for a grade change on a midterm or homework must be submitted within one week from the time the papers are first handed back to students. |

The best way to assure yourself of a good grade in this course is always to come to lectures and section and to keep up with the homework. If you are having trouble please don't hesitate to come to my office, Krieger 312. Office hours are the best times. You can also arrange a time to meet with the TA, Dawn Ring, to discuss your problems. Her office is Krieger 202. There is also a Calculus Help Room (Krieger 213). You can find Help Room hours and other useful information on the Department of Mathematics web site at www.math.jhu.edu |

We will aim to cover most of the material in the first six chapters of Neuhauser. A more detailed syllabus is given below.
