Brief Description:

A second course in Calculus. Applications of the integral, techniques of integration, convergence of sequence and series, Taylor series, differential equations, parametric equations and polar coordinates.

Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in MA 113, MA 137 or MA 132.

Students may not receive credit for MA 114 and MA 138.

Learning Outcomes:

In Calculus II, we will learn more about integrals and their computation, sequences and series, parametric equations and polar coordinates. We will have an introduction to the topic of differential equations and a brief introduction to the applications of differential equations. By the end of the semester you should know precise definitions of sequence, series, convergence, a solution to a differential equation and know how to use parametric equations and polar coordinates. You should be able to illustrate the methods and ideas of calculus by applying them to solve several physical and geometric problems.

We will cover most of Chapters 6 to 11 in our textbook. Please see the course calendar for a detailed listing of the sections we will cover.

Your grade will be based on the number of points you earned according to the following scheme:

Recitation Worksheets:

In recitation, you will practice the material of the lectures using worksheets. You will work in groups and sometimes individually. For the schedule of the worksheets see the course calendar. The worksheets are available to be downloaded below.

Beginning with worksheet 2, you will be responsible for having the recitation worksheets with you for recitation classes. If you fail to do so, then it may be counted as an unexcused absence. You may print the worksheet and bring it to recitation class or your TA might provide other options.

Reef Polling:

The lecture portion of your grade is based on active participation in lecture (the Mon-Wed-Fri meetings). You will participate in class using your phone, laptop, or other device with an internet connection and browser. You will need to create a REEF Student account and purchase a subscription. A 180-day subscription costs $14.99, and can be purchased directly through REEF or by buying an access code from one of the university bookstores. If you are using REEF Polling in another class, you only need to purchase one subscription for the term. You can access our REEF course by using the REEF Polling link on the Modules tab of our Canvas course page. See https://reef-education.com/get-started/for-students/ for more information about REEF polling. If you have any difficulties with access to your account or with bringing a phone or laptop to class, please see me.

Homework:

Mandatory homework:

We will use web homework at the address on the system WeBWorK at http://webwork.as.uky.edu/webwork2/MA114F16/. Students who are registered Tuesday afternoon, August 23, will be able to log in from the first day of class. We will add students to the homework system until the last day to add. See the document titled Introduction to WeBWorK for more information including instructions on how to log in. The document Entering Answers in WeBWorK gives more information about how to enter mathematics to answer questions in WeBWorK. Please contact your instructor or teaching assistant if you have difficulty logging in or need to change sections.

The due date for each of these homework assignments is given on the corresponding web page as well as in the course calendar. Note that the WeBWorK sets are due early in the morning on the due date listed in the calendar. Thus the due dates at the web site will be the day of the date listed in the calendar.

Occasionally, we may delay homework due dates. The due date at the WeBWorK server will be the most up-to-date information.

Late web homework will not be accepted. Shortly after the homework is due, solutions to many of the web homework problems will be made available through the WeBWorK server. We cannot allow some students to continue working on the problems after the solutions are available or delay providing solutions to students who have completed the homework on time. If you have an unusual situation that prevents you from completing web homework, please contact your instructor. However, in general students will be expected to complete web homework even if they are traveling.

Suggestions for working web homework:

• Print out the web homework and write out complete solutions of problems before attempting to submit answers. These solutions will be helpful in studying for exams and to bring to discussions with others.
• Form a study group and meet regularly to discuss web homework and the material covered in lectures.
• Make sure you understand your solution to each homework problem. Discuss your approach with members of your study group, your instructor, or peer tutors at the Mathskeller or the Study.
• Do not guess. If you submit an answer and are marked wrong, look through your solution for computational and conceptual errors.
• For each web-based homework problem in the first 5 assignments you may resubmit your answer as often as you want before the deadline (4:00 AM on the due date). Starting with assignment A2.1-2.2, you may submit answers up to 15 times for each problem before the deadline. This will give you several attempts to correct errors, but discourage students from guessing.
• Near the bottom of many pages at WeBWorK, you will find a link to email your instructor. Please work to formulate clear questions in your email. We will work to answer emailed questions by the next work day. Instructors will not be able to answers questions sent the evening of a due date.

Exams/Supplementary Review Sessions:

On the exams you may use calculators of the type TI 84, TInspire, their equivalent or less. No calculators with symbolic manipulation capabilities are allowed. Answers that are simply the output of calculator routines will generally not receive any credit on the exams. Think of the calculator you are using as an aid to thinking (at best)!!!

Old exams on MA 114 can be found here.

Before each exam there will be a supplementary review session

Calculators:

You may use calculators on the homework,quizzes and exams. You may not use any machine (carbon-based life form or silicon-based) that has symbolic manipulation capabilities of any sort on any exam. This precludes the use of TI-89, TI-Nspire CAS, HP 48, TI 92, Voyage 200, Casio Classpad or laptop computer. Also, you may not use your mobile phone, iPhone or Blackberry on any exam even if you forget your regular calculator. If it runs Android, BeOS, iOS, Linux, MacOS, PalmOS, Ubuntu, Unix, Windows, similar operating systems or derivatives thereof, you cannot use it on the exams. Bald answers will receive little or no credit.  A bald answer is one that is simply the output of a calculator routine or a single numerical or symbolic expression that has no supporting work.

Study Advice and Getting Help:

This being said, form good study skills from the start!

• Do not miss class! Systematic class attendance and participation are critical to success in mathematics classes. Beyond that, class attendance counts 4% of the grade.
• Read the text prior to the lecture. The reading assignment is listed in the course calendar.
There are links in every web homework assignment to the text and to the chapters and sections referenced by the problems in the assignment.
• Take notes and do the homework. Remember that the homework counts 12% of the course grade.
• Find classmates to study with. Studying math is for most people much more productive when done in collaboration.
• Work hard not to fall behind. It is very difficult to catch up in a math class after falling behind. One of the best ways to avoid doing so is to systematically do the homework. One of the simplest ways to do this is to regularly go to the Mathskeller (see below) at some open time in your schedule. Math faculty, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students are there to offer assistance.
• Use old exams to take practice tests by yourself in an exam-like situation. Do this well before the exam. Compare your solutions with those provided by the answer key.

If you need more help than what can be provided by the online help, you should take one or more of the following steps:

• Talk to your instructors before or after class or send them an email, if necessary. Let them know what problems you are having, if any. They will be happy to help!
• Go to the office hours of your instructors.
• You can also seek help in the Mathskeller, located in room CB 063 in the basement of the classroom building. Many instructors and teaching assistants from the Department of Mathematics will hold office hours in the Mathskeller. In addition, limited drop-in tutoring is available. You can seek help from any of the instructors or teaching assistants --- not just your own. The Mathskeller is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday (except academic holidays) during the semester.
• Furthermore, you can seek help in The Study, located on the 3rd floor of the Commons, South Campus. Academic Enhancement provides drop-in peer tutoring by experienced undergraduate students who have successfully navigated the courses for which they tutor. A regular schedule of all tutoring is available on The Study's website. You can also call 257-1356.

Policies:

• Attendance. Attend lectures and recitations regularly. Be on time and remain until dismissed. Do not leave in the middle of class. Instructors have the right to take off attendance points for coming late or leaving early. If you cannot come to lecture or recitation and would like to request an excused absence, inform the instructor as early as possible and provide documentation.
• Excused absences. Students need to notify the instructor of absences prior to class when possible. Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 defines the following as acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) serious illness, (b) illness or death of family member, (c) University-related trips, (d) major religious holidays, and (e) other circumstances found to fit “reasonable cause for nonattendance” by the professor. Students anticipating an absence for a major religious holiday are responsible for notifying the instructor in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later than the last day in the semester to add a class. Two weeks prior to the absence is reasonable, but should not be given any later. Information regarding major religious holidays may be obtained through the Ombudsman's Office (859-257-3737, http://www.uky.edu/Ombud/ForStudents_ExcusedAbsences.php.

  Students are expected to withdraw from the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed (excused) per University policy. Per Senate Rule 5.2.4.2, students missing any graded work due to an excused absence are responsible: for informing the Instructor of Record about their excused absence within one week following the period of the excused absence (except where prior notification is required); and for making up the missed work. The professor must give the student an opportunity to make up the work and/or the exams missed due to an excused absence, and shall do so, if feasible, during the semester in which the absence occurred.

• Verification of absences. Students may be asked to verify their absences in order for them to be considered excused. Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 states that faculty have the right to request “appropriate verification” when students claim an excused absence because of illness, or death in the family. Appropriate notification of absences due to University-related trips is required prior to the absence when feasible and in no case more than one week after the absence.
  
• Electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets should be put away or used only as part of class activities during lectures and recitations. Instructors may prohibit their use during class. Students who are not participating in class may be marked absent. Mobile phones, laptops, and computers may not be used during exams.
  
• Classes meet as usual on the days after an exam. Attendance rules apply as usual.
  
• Students with disabilities. If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see your instructor as soon as possible. In order to receive accommodations in this course, you must provide your instructor with a Letter of Accommodation from the Disability Resource Center. The Disability Resource Center coordinates campus disability services available to students with disabilities. It is located on the corner of Rose Street and Huguelet Drive in the Multidisciplinary Science Building, Suite 407. You can reach them via phone at (859) 257-2754 and via email at drc@uky.edu. Their web address is http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/DisabilityResourceCenter/.
  
• In order to be fair to all students, dates for exams and homework assignments are firm. It is very important to take each exam on schedule. Missed work may be made up only due to illness with medical documentation or for other unusual (documented) circumstances. If you have a university excused absence or a university-scheduled class conflict with uniform examinations please contact your lecturer as soon as possible, but at least 10 days before the exam, so that an alternate exam can be arranged for you.
  

• University Policy on Academic Integrity. Per University policy, students shall not plagiarize, cheat, or falsify or misuse academic records. Students are expected to adhere to University policy on cheating and plagiarism in all courses. The minimum penalty for a first offense is a zero on the assignment on which the offense occurred. If the offense is considered severe or the student has other academic offenses on their record, more serious penalties, up to suspension from the University may be imposed. Plagiarism and cheating are serious breaches of academic conduct. Each student is advised to become familiar with the various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Complete information can be found at the website Ombud. A plea of ignorance is not acceptable as a defense against the charge of academic dishonesty. It is important that you review this information as all ideas borrowed from others need to be properly credited. Senate Rules 6.3.1 (see Senate Rules for the current set of Senate Rules) states that all academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or other academic supervisors, is expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. In cases where students feel unsure about a question of plagiarism involving their work, they are obliged to consult their instructors on the matter before submission. When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording, or content from another source without appropriate acknowledgment of the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism.

  Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work (including, but not limited to a published article, a book, a website, computer code, or a paper from a friend) without clear attribution. Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or allowing another person to alter or revise the work, which a student submits as his/her own, whoever that other person may be. Students may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or tutor, but when the actual work is done, it must be done by the student, and the student alone. When a student's assignment involves research in outside sources or information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she has employed them. If the words of someone else are used, the student must put quotation marks around the passage in question and add an appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content, and phraseology intact is plagiaristic. However, nothing in these Rules shall apply to those ideas, which are so generally and freely circulated as to be a part of the public domain.

  Students are encouraged to work together to understand a problem and to develop a solution. However, the solution you submit for credit must be your own work. In particular, you should submit your answers for web homework. Copying on exams and usage of books, notes, or communication devices during examinations is not allowed. Cheating or plagiarism is a serious offense, and it will not be tolerated. Students are responsible for knowing the University policy on academic dishonesty.

• Mid-term Grades. Mid-term grades will be posted in myUK by the deadline established in the Academic Calendar (http://www.uky.edu/registrar/calendar).
  
• All requests for corrections to grading should be addressed to your lecturer. Requests should be made shortly after you receive the paper back and must be made within one day of the paper being returned.
  
• Math is more than just manipulation. To earn top grade on exam problems and written assignments it is not enough to have the correct answer, but you must also show the correct reasoning.
  
• Classes do meet as usual on Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. Attendance rules apply as usual.
