Course Description and Prerequisites:

 A variety of pre-calculus topics including coordinate geometry, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions, and algebraic procedures. Introduction to differential calculus. (This course is intended for student who either lack Calculus from secondary school or have a weak grade in it. It satisfies the prerequisite or admission requirement of secondary school Calculus for all purposes.) (Admission by consent of the Department only. May not be taken for credit concurrently with, or subsequent to, 62-130 or 62-140.)(3 lecture hours, one hour tutorial per week.)

Textbook:  (Required)  “Calculus A First Course”, James Stewart.

If you want to review OAC Calculus, please go to library to read reserved book: 830 Worked Examples in OAC Calculus.

Topics List: 

PART A: Pre--calculus Topics

• Simplifying polynomial and rational expressions.
• Factoring, the factor theorem, rationalizing expressions.
• Laws of exponents.
• Solving equations and inequations.
• Relations and functions, domain and range, composition of functions.
• Linear relations, x & y intercepts.
• Solving system of equations.
• Plane geometry: classifying angles and triangles, terms, relationships and theorems.
• Perimeter, area and volume, working with formulas.
• The trigonometric ratios functions and their graphs, compound angle formulas and identities, solving trigonometric equations.
• Logarithmic and exponential functions and their graphs, law of   logarithms.  

PART B: Introduction to Calculus

• Limits, average versus instantaneous rate of change.
• The “Derivative”, rules for differentiation.
• Differentiating non-algebraic functions.
• Curve sketching, optimization and other applications.

The following sections from our text will be covered: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, all of chapter 2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4,6.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 (time permitting), all of chapter 8.

Tests:

Tutorial Attendance:

There will be TEN tutorials that you need to attend. You are  expected to attend them all. You will be requested to work either independently or in teams of 3--4 students on sets of problems handed out to you. Tutorial work WILL NOT be handed in. The tutorial attendance will count 8% of your final mark. Tutorials start on Thursday 13. Further organizational details will be given in class.

Assignments:

There will be TWO big assignments. You are  expected to hand in  them all.  The two assignments will count 32% of your final mark. A mark of zero will be given to assignments not submitted on the due date.

Homework:

Selected exercises, mainly from the text, will be assigned in class. These exercises are not to be handed in and will not be graded. However, to succeed in the course it is absolutely essential that you do the exercises on a regular basis.

Final Examination:

This is a three hour exam scheduled by the University and will take place on APRIL 20, 2005. It is the responsibility of each student to be available at the time of the examination. In particular, no travel plans for the examination period in April should be made until the examination schedule is published.

Course Work Evaluation: 

• Tutorial Attendance (Choose 8 out of 10): 8%

• Assignment #1: 16% Due on Tuesday February 1 in class

• Test #1 :  15% Thursday February 3

• Assignment #2: 16% Due on Tuesday March 22 in class

• Test #2 :  15%  Thursday March 24

• Final Examination: 30% April 20, 2005 at 12:00pm
  

Calculators:

You may use a non-programmable calculator for the tests and the final examination in this course. I reserve the right to disallow any calculator.

Withdrawal:

March 18:  Last day to withdraw voluntarily from courses. After this date students remain registered in courses and receive final grades as appropriate.
