Enrollment information: The course control number is ???. General enrollment information. If you have waitlist questions or wish to switch discussion section, you should start at head GSI Jameel Al-Aidroos's webpage .

Prerequisites: Math 32 or three years of high school mathematics including trigonometry. If you are not sure whether this course is at the right level for you, this diagnostic exam might help you decide. Math 16A and 16B are intended for students who do not intend to take further mathematics courses. If your intended major lies in the sciences, or if you have some previous experience with calculus, you might consider taking 1A and 1B instead, even if your department does not require it.

Required Text: At the math department's request, the publisher has provided a softcover edition of the text split into two volumes, one for Math 16A, and one for Math 16B. For 16A, you need Calculus and its applications, Volume One, which looks like this:

It consists of Chapters 0 through 6 of Goldstein, Lay, Schneider, Asmar, Calculus and its applications, 11th edition, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007. If you know you will take both 16A and 16B, you could alternatively buy the whole hardcover text containing all Chapters 0 through 12. It looks like this:

An older edition of the text may cover the same subjects, but you will need access to one of the editions above, since homework problems will be assigned from there.

Syllabus:

• Functions
• The derivative
• Applications of the derivative
• Exponential and logarithmic functions
• The Definite Integral

Grading: 1/6 section grade (80 points), 1/6 midterm 1 (80 points), 1/6 midterm 2 (80 points), 1/2 final exam (240 points).

Quizzes: Quizzes will be weekly by your GSI during sections. Each will be scored out of 8 points. Only your top 8 quizes will count toward your grade. No make-up quizes will be given.

Exams: There will be in-class midterms on Wednesday February 14 and Friday March 23, and a 3-hour final exam Saturday May 12, 8-11am (location TBA). Notes, books, ipods, cellphones and calculators will not be permitted for exams. Bring your student ID, and pencils or pens all exams.

Other important things: In general, it is your responsibility to inform me and your GSI as far in advance as possible in case of an unavoidable conflict with an exam, in case of an extended absence, or in case you find yourself struggling with the course for any other reason. If you need disability-related accommodations in this class, if you have emergency medical information you wish to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform me immediately: feel free to talk to me privately after class or in my office.
