Textbooks

• Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals. (Custom Edition for the University of Pennsylvania), Pearson 2012. ISBN : 978-1-256-82329-2. [Note that this is a customized version specifically made for Penn. The Penn Bookstore should have copies. Homeworks will be assigned from the book, and a few homeworks will be assigned at the MyMathLab online system, the subscription for which comes with the book. So it's strongly recommended that you purchase the book.]

Attendance, Homeworks, Quizzes and Exams

• Attendance and participation in class is expected. You are expected to attend every lecture and recitation. In case you miss a lecture, you will need to figure out what was covered in that class either by talking to your fellow students, or by stopping by my office hours. It is your responsibility that you do these to catch up with the class.
• There will be weekly set of recommended homework problems assigned from the textbook, which you do not need to turn in.
• There will be a few online homeworks assigned through the MyMathLab system, which you'll need to submit online.
• There will be weekly quizzes at the recitations.
• There will be three exams: two mid-terms and one final. The first mid-term will tentatively take place around mid-February, and the second mid-term around mid-March.
• If you miss a weekly quiz due to medical or other emergencies, and need to take a makeup quiz, you'll need to send an official course absence report (CAR) from the university in advance, reporting your absence on the day of the missed quiz. For taking makeup exam, in addition to sending an official course absence report, you'll also need to have an email sent to me by your academic advisor confirming your valid/serious reason of absence on the day of exam. No other form of letter/certificate will be accepted. CAR sent more than a week from the day of missed quiz/exam cannot be accepted and no makeup quiz/exam will be allowed in that case.

Grading Scheme

Weekly quizzes and online homeworks: 15%
Midterm 1: 25%
Midterm 2: 25%
Finals: 35%
