Calculus Webpage: http://comet.lehman.cuny.edu/calculus has syllabi and projects and other information for calculus and precalculus courses.
Prerequisite: MAT 172 and 175 (C+ and up strongly recommended),
All students are encouraged to attend Intensive Precalculus and Calculus
Review Sessions offered by the department in the second week of class.
Corequisite: MAT 156 to learn Maple Classic,
Text: Larson, Hostetler and Edwards, Calculus
(Early Transcendentals) Edition 3
Houghton Mifflin, Do not buy the single variable version.
The textbook has a webpage at college.hmco.com
Homework: Approximately 2 hours of homework will be assigned
each meeting and additional review assignments will be given on weekends.
Timing:
This syllabus corresponds directly to the MAT 156 syllabus and should
not fall more than one lesson behind schedule. Students who need extra
help on any topic should go to the department's tutoring center.
Grading:
Two exams have been scheduled in this syllabus.
Faculty may also grade biweekly or surprise quizes, and homework.
A final exam will be given during finals week to all students.
Students who are not prepared for Intermediate Calculus I will
not pass this course. Students planning to take Intermediate Calculus I
should aim for an A in this course.
