Lectures: MWF, 7-212, 9:30-10:20

Office Hours: MWF 10:30-11:30

Prerequisites: Math 100 or Math 105

Textbook(s): Calculus, Early Transcendentals Single Variable, 8 edition, by James Stewart (Cengage Learning, print year 2014). Student's solution manual (optional). My notes are available in the copy store.

Course Description: The logarithm defined as an integral; areas between curves; volumes by slicing and by shell techniques; integration by parts; miscellaneous techniques of integration; improper integrals; infinite sequences and series; tests for convergence of series; Taylor and MacLaurin series; approximation by Taylor polynomials; parametric equations and polar coordinates; arc length; approximate integration.

The following sections of the text will be covered (not necessarily in this order):
App G, 6.1-6.4, 7.1-7.5, 7.7, 7.8, 8.1, 8.2, 10.1-10.4, 11.1-11.10

Evaluation:

Assignments:	15%
Labs:	15%
Midterm I (Fri, Feb 10):	15%
Midterm II (Fri, Mar 10):	15%
Final Exam:	40%

Please note that only non-programable, non-graphing calculators are allowed during the midterms and final exam. No other electronic devices are permitted. All the work should be done on the provided booklets; no extra paper is allowed. The back sides of the sheets can be used if needed.

Labs: There will be 5 lab assignments. The labs are once a week. The time of the labs should be mainly devoted to using the Maple software for solving calculus questions. However, the lab assistant will be prepared to answer questions concerning both the lab and the regular assignments.

Assignments: There will be 8 assignments. The student's success in this course strongly depends on the number of questions solved. There are two types of questions for the assignments: required and suggested. The required questions must be submitted and will be marked. If you experience difficulties with the required questions, you might find useful to try the suggested odd-numbered questions first (these are provided with answers in the text, and completely solved in the Student Solutions Manual). I will be posting the solutions to the required questions.

Other Resources for the Course: The students are encouraged to visit the Academic Success Centre (10-2584) and inquire about the various options for help with this course (check www.unbc.ca/asc for more information), or visit the Mathematical Academic Centre of Excellence (10-2088), where they can discuss mathematics with other fellow students and support staff and work on their assignments. If there are students in this course who, because of disability, may have a need for special academic accommodations, please come and discuss this with me, or contact staff at the Access Resource Centre (arc@unbc.ca) located in the Teaching and Learning Centre, Room 10-1048 on the main campus (check www.unbc.ca/arc for more information). Students can also call the ARC at (250) 960-5682. Regional students can call the Centre toll-free at 1-888-960-5682 .

Note: This course is required for the Environmental Engineering degree, and therefore it is subject to review by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. As part of the accreditation process, copies will be made of graded student work in this course, including assignments, tests, and final examinations, selected from those students who are registered in Environmental Engineering. All such copies will have identifying information removed before being filed for the reviewers.
