Course Description. Credit 4. The course will cover techniques of integration and applications of integration, such as area, volume, arc length, work, hydrostatic force, center of mass and first order differential equations. The course then covers sequences, series and power series. Finally the course covers 3D vectors, dot and cross products and lines and planes. The course meets for three hours per week in lecture with your professor and twice per week in recitation with your teaching assistant (TA). One of your recitation meetings is designed to discuss questions over homework or lecture. The other recitation meets in the computer laboratory using the computer package Maple. The goal of the computer laboratory portion of the course is to show how problems that are too difficult to solve hand, can be solved with the help of the computer. The prerequisite for this course is Math 151 or equivalent.

Exams I, II and III are common exams (same exam is given for all sections of Math 152) and are administered in the evenings from 7:30-9:30pm on the dates given above. Copies of old exams are available on the web. The increased weights of the third and final exams reflect the cumulative nature of the course. The laboratory grade will be determined by unannounced pop quizzes (40%) and Maple assignments (60%).
Make-ups for exams and quizzes will only be given with documented University-approved excuses (see University Regulations).
