There is an online exam you can take to help you decide whether or not you are ready to take this course.
Description: This sequence is intended for majors in engineering and the physical sciences. An introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable, with applications and an introduction to transcendental functions.
Enrollment: Enrollment is handled by teleBEARS. For all enrollment questions see the head TA. If you wish to add or drop this course after teleBEARS ends, here is the form and instructions. The deadline to add or drop without the dean's approval (which is rarely given) is February 17th.

Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 5th edition, Brooks/Cole.
Note: The ASUC textbook store sells a special edition of this for math 1A/1B for about $60, and they will buy it back when you have finished for $30. (This special edition does not include the chapters for math 53, so if you intend to take math 53 later it may be better to buy the full textbook.) We will cover chapters 1-6. The 4th edition may have different exercises from the one we will use but is otherwise OK for the course. Most sections will be using worksheets; these can be purchased at Copy Central, which is on Bancroft between College and Telegraph, across from Hearst Gym.
The grade will be based on homework (10%), quizzes (20%), two midterm exams (20% each) and final exam (30%) scores.
·
Homework:
Homework is due in Wednesday discussion section. Late homework will not be accepted. The
grade for each homework will range from zero (0) to two (2) based on the number
of problems attempted and completed. The problems will not be separately
graded, as
·
Quizzes: There will be a quiz given each
week in the discussion sections. There
will be no make-up quizzes.
Two of the lowest quiz scores will be dropped.
· Midterms: Most questions in the midterms and the final will be similar to randomly selected homework questions from the book, possibly with the constants in the questions changed. So if you understand how to do all the homework questions you will be able to do all the questions on the midterms and final. There will be no makeup midterms.
· Final exam: The exam will be cumulative, and similar in the spirit to the midterms and the homeworks.
Missed exams: If you miss the first midterm, the mark for the second midterm will be doubled. If you miss the second then the weight of the final will be increased to 50%. If you miss both midterms or the final then you are in trouble. Do not take this class if you will have to miss both midterms or the final exam.
Grade corrections: The grades for exams or quizzes will be changed only if there is a clear error on the part of the grader, such as adding up marks incorrectly. I will not increase grades just because someone needs a higher grade to graduate or get into some program.
Incomplete "I" grades are almost never given. The only justification is a documented serious medical problem or genuine personal/family emergency. Falling behind in this course or problems with workload on other courses are not acceptable reasons.
If you are a student with a disability registered by the Disabled Student Services (DSS) on UCB campus and if you require special arrangements during exams, you must provide me with the DSS document and you must contact me via email or office hours at least 10 days prior to each exam, explaining your circumstances and what special arrangements need to be done. If you do not contact me 10 days in advance then I will not have time to make arrangements and you will have to take the exam along with everyone else and under the regular conditions provided for the class. The midterms and final for disabled students will be in room 959 Evans Hall.
