MAT 142 Course Outline

This document outlines the details of a Calculus II course, including the instructor's contact information, course objectives, requirements, policies, grading practices, textbook, and topic outline. The key objectives are to learn integration techniques like substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitutions, and partial fractions. Students will also apply calculus to polar coordinates, indeterminate forms, improper integrals, infinite series, Taylor and Maclaurin series, and numerical and analytical solutions to differential equations. The course grade will be based on homework, exams, and a final exam. Free tutoring is available in the Mathematics Learning Center.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:


A.
Find antiderivatives by applying the following integration techniques: substitution (chain rule applications and trigonometric
antiderivatives), integration by parts, trigonometric substitutions, and partial fractions.
B.
Apply calculus techniques to polar coordinate graphs; find the area of regions enclosed by polar curves.
C.
Apply LHopitals rule to indeterminant forms.
D.
Determine the convergence or divergence of improper integrals and their applications.
E.
Determine the convergence/divergence of sequences, infinite series; find the interval of convergence of a power series.
F.
Use Taylor, Maclaurin, and binomial series to obtain power series representations of functions and to approximate function
values.
G.
Find approximations to the definite integral using left sum, right sums, midpoint sums, the trapezoidal rule, and Simpsons
rule. Give appropriate bounds on the error of such approximations. Find the numerical value of the definite integral using
technology.
H.
Use the above objectives in applications involving areas, volumes, arc length, and growth and decay models.
I.
Solve first order differential equations numerically (Eulers method), graphically, and symbolically (variables separable only)

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Students are expected to be prompt, be prepared with homework and be ready to participate in any class
discussions. Proper classroom behavior and mutual respect are also expected.
2. The student is responsible for all material covered in class. It is the students responsibility to obtain any
missed assignments from a classmate.
3. Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off during class. Absolutely no texting in class.
4. A graphing calculator (TI-84 or 83) is required

COLLEGE-WIDE ATTENDANCE POLICY:


All students are expected to attend every session of each course for which they are registered. Students are
responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance. The college defines excessive
absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings during the semester. Excessive
absence or lateness may lead to failure in a course or removal from the class roster.

GRADING PRACTICES:
Homework will be assigned on a regular basis. All homework is expected to be completed by the following class.
There will be 5 homework assignments that will be collected and graded, each one counted as a maximum of 20
points. There will be 4 in class exams of which the best 3 (lowest grade dropped) will be used to determine the
final grade. If a student misses an exam, that will be counted as the lowest grade and will be dropped. If a
student misses a second exam, they will receive a 0 for the exam. There will be a cumulative final exam. The
final grade will be the average of the homework grade, best 3 exams and the final exam.
