Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge that the Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan is on Treaty Six Territory and the
Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respects to the First Nation and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with
one another. We would also like to recognize that some of us may be attending this course from other traditional Indigenous lands.
We ask that you take a moment to make your own Land Acknowledgement to the peoples of those lands. In doing so, we are
actively participating in reconciliation as we navigate our time in this course, learning and supporting each other.
Course Description
Definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration, approximate integration,
indeterminate forms & L’Hospital’s rule, improper integrals, applications of integration, and introduction to differential equations.
Prerequisites
MATH 110 or equivalents
To pass this course, the student must achieve a course grade of at least 50%.
Midterm Tests
Two 80-minute midterm tests will be scheduled and delivered on campus outside of class time in the following two evenings:
Midterm Test 1††: Wednesday February 14, 7:00pm-8:20pm
Midterm Test 2††: Wednesday March 20, 7:00pm-8:20pm
We will announce locations for the two midterm tests approximately 7 days before each test. Please stay tuned to our
announcements on Canvas. See the bottom table on page 4 for more details about topics coverage for each midterm test.
Final Examination
We will deliver a three-hour comprehensive final examination at a time and location that the University will announce. The final
examination must be written in person on the date and at the time as scheduled by the University. Final examinations may be
scheduled at any time during the University’s examination period; therefore, students must avoid making prior travel, employment,
or other commitments for this exam period. If a student is unable to write a final exam through no fault of his or her own for
medical or other valid reasons, documentation must be provided and an opportunity to write a regular deferred exam may be given.
Regular deferred exams for the Winter term are usually written during the third week of June. Students are encouraged to review
all examination policies and procedures: http://students.usask.ca/academics/exams.php
Core Topics
the definite integral as a limit of a Riemann sum, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, basic techniques of integration (including
integration by substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric integrals, trigonometric substitution, and integration by partial
fractions), approximate integration (midpoint rule, trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s rule), indeterminate forms & L’Hospital’s Rule,
improper integrals, some applications of integration (including areas, volumes, work, average values, arc lengths, areas arising
from surfaces of revolution), and separable differential equations.
Learning Objectives
On successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to:
Absences
Missing an assignment or an exam without a legitimate and verifiable reason may result in a zero for that activity. Do not wait till
the last five minutes or last five seconds to submit your online assignment. The cutoff time on the due date will be stated on each
assignment and determined precisely by the computer clock on WebAssign, not on your own personal computer. If you miss an
assignment or a midterm exam for legitimate reasons (such as sickness), you must email your Lab Coordinator (Amos Lee:
[email protected]) with verifiable documentation for absence approval. You will be asked to fill out a short Absence Form.
Subject to approval, the weight of the missed activity would then be transferred and added to the weight of your final examination.
Please read the document titled Absence Policy posted on our common course site for Math 116 on Canvas. See the paragraph on
Final Examination above for policies governing absences from the final exam.

Academic Integrity
Regardless of the mode of course delivery, the rules and principles governing academic integrity remain the same. If you ever have
questions about what may or may not be permitted, ask your instructor. The University of Saskatchewan is committed to the highest
standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty
and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the
provisions of the Student Conduct & Appeals section of the University Secretary Website and avoid any behavior that could
potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic
dishonesty is a serious infraction that can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
