Please purchase access to the "homework AND e-book" which is approximately
$80 total and is the best deal.
Email me with any questions.
Week 1 will be review of Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from the textbook.
If you haven't taken Calculus 1 recently at the college level please review these.
Alternatively, study the review/cheat sheets I posted.
I'll try to have an extra "review" period outside of class to help students. More info on this later.
Hello!
Welcome to Calculus II!
I'll post important information here.
I posted the course syllabus below--for students who have not taken a course
with me please read it carefully.
More info coming soon...

Course Policies
Please consult the Course Syllabus for a more detailed description.
What is this class?
This course continues the thread of mathematical inquiry following an initial study of the dual topics of di fferentiation and integration (see Calculus I course description). Topics to be explored in this course include the Calculus of exponential and logarithmic functions, applications of integration theory to geometry, alternative coordinate systems, and power series representations of functions. Note: The theory of limits, di erentiation and integration will be brie y reviewed at the beginning of the term.
For conference work students may choose to undertake a deeper investigation of a single topic or application of the Calculus or conduct a study in some other branch of mathematics or a related field.
Prerequisites
You must have basic knowledge of material from Calc I: limits, derivatives, and (definite and indefinite) integrals, including the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus (and their proofs).
You must also have a solid foundation in algebra and geometry, as well with trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms.
Please come talk to me if you are unsure whether this is the right course for you.
Online Homework via WebAssign
Computation is an important component of mathematics, and is a key part of any calculus course.
I will select problems from the textbook to be done and checked online via the platform WebAssign.
Hand-in Homework
There will be homework assignments consisting of longer problems, with an emphasis on the conceptual side of calculus and it's applications to the sciences. You are encouraged to work with other students in solving the homework problems, but you should write your own solutions, and you must acknowledge anyone that you work with. Your solutions should be written clearly and in complete sentences, with enough detail that another student in the class would be able to follow your reasoning.
Textbook
The textbook is
Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by Michael Sullivan and Kathleen Miranda. We will cover most of the material in Chapters 6–8, as well as material from the earlier chapters that was not covered in Calc I. You should read the relevant section of the text
before we cover the material in class, and then again while doing the homework.
Calculator
No calculator is required, however, students should learn to use Wolfram Alpha, Desmos, and Geogebra to suit their needs when allowed.
