Course Objective

To give students an understanding of the concepts and rules of integral calculus, and to enable them to apply that understanding to a broad range of problems.

The course introduces integral calculus including areas, volumes, and other applications. Studies integration involving trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

eGrade Package

The textbook should have come with a small eGrade booklet. eGrade is a software package that the publisher provided free-of-charge with your textbook. Despite the name of the product, we will NOT be using eGrade for any graded work in this course; however, the software may be useful in providing drills on the rules for differentiation. You may access eGrade at www.math.neu.edu:8501.

Basic Skills Proficiency

The algebra partial credit policy from Calculus I is expanded this quarter to include basic differentiation formulas: the power rule, the product rule, the chain rule, and derivatives of exponential, trigonometric, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions.

In all of your graded work this quarter, the following partial credit scheme will apply: the first algebra/ differentiation mistake on a problem will cost 25% of the value of the problem, the second algebra/ differentiation mistake on the same problem will cost another 25%, and the third algebra/differentiation mistake on the same problem will result in a loss of all points for that problem, regardless of any other correct work on the problem. This policy is the same for all sections of this course.

Cheating Policy

Cheating will not be tolerated. All incidents of cheating will be reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs. The University’s cheating policy and related disciplinary actions are detailed in the Student Handbook.
