Relation to other Calculus
courses: Math 1500X/Y
is a two-semester Calculus course which is an enriched version of Math 1000/1010.
This stream is recommended for students who did well in high school Math 12 and
would like a more challenging experience. You have the option of transferring
to Math 1000 in the first three weeks of the class without any penalty.
Textbook: Adams, Calculus is available at the bookstore or from
Amazon. Most recent editions will work, so an older version is fine; numbering
may change slightly from one edition to another. A copy has been placed on
reserve in the library.
Homework: there will be about one homework every
two weeks. The first term due dates are listed above. The lowest homework
during each term will be dropped. There
will be no makeups of homeworks.
Midterms/finals: There will be two
midterms/finales – one in the fall and another in spring.
Evaluation: Your overall
grade will be a maximum of:
50% (term 1 grade) + 50% (term 2 grade)
40% (term 1 grade) + 60% (term 2 grade)
where term grade is a maximum of
25% homework, 25% midterm, 50% final
20% homework, 20% midterm, 60% final
