Prerequisites

A C or above in MAT 130 (or its equivalent) or a placement score of 50. This course is a requirement for science and math majors.

Comments

Pace also offers a 3-credit business calculus course, MAT 111, which does not have a MAT 130 prerequisite.

Deferred Examination Policy

Students that miss a graded homework assignment for a valid and documented reason will have the subsequent exam grade used in its place. Students that miss a midsemester exam for a valid reason will be required to use the University’s Deferred Examination Procedure to take a deferred examination. You will be required to complete the University’s deferred examination application form, pay the required fee at the Office of Student Assistance (OSA), and bring the form to the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE). For filing deadline, payment, and make up exam date consult the Academic calendar at http://www.pace.edu/osa/academic-scheduling/finalexam-schedules. For filing deadline and deferred exam date consult the Academic calendar. Students without a valid documented reason for missing an assessment will receive a zero for the missing assessment. No final exam may be taken before the last day of class for any reason except that which is required by the Student Accessibility Services.

Grading Policy

Exam 1 and Exam 2 are each worth 20% of the semester’s grade. The final exam is worth 40% of your semester’s grade. There will be graded homework assignments worth 20% of your grade. The homework assignments will be based upon the current chapter of the book you are working on and all preceding topics. Homework is due as a PDF submission on Blackboard at the indicated

Page 2 of 7

Mat 131: Calculus I, CRN: 70994 New York Mathematics Department Pace University due date and time. Homework must be neat, legible, organized, and problems well labeled and in order to be accepted. Homework not submitted in this format will not be accepted. You are required to be in every class and be in class on time. To pass this course you must have a minimum weighted average of 60% based on all of the semester’s assessments. Avg=0.20 ( HW Avg ) +0.20 ( Exam 1+ Exam 2 )+0.40 ( Final E The NY Mathematics Department does not allow faculty to award extra credit. This policy helps insure that all student grades are determined in a consistent fashion while insuring that grades reflect student performance on Departmental Assessments. Technology Policy

No electronic devices are allowed to be used during exams. All telephones and other devices need to be turned off and stored at the front of the classroom or under each student’s seat per instructor’s preference. No watches are allowed. Exams will be given via Respondus Lockdown Browser and no student is allowed to use any technological devices or notes.

Academic Integrity

http://www.pace.edu/sites/default/files/files/studenthandbook/pace-university-academic-integrity-code.pdf Students that violate the integrity code at a minimum the will receive a zero on the assessment in question and at the instructor’s discretion may fail the course.

The Learning Center

The Learning Center uses an array of programs and a holistic approach to assist students with academic skills and content knowledge. They are dedicated to developing independent learners by creating purposeful interactions with trained, wellqualified peer and professional staff. The Learning Center is student-centered, and is a friendly and welcoming learning environment for all student success. Fall 2020 Hours of Operation for appointment based

Email: [email protected] or [email protected] Math NY examinations will be given remotely during regular class time, which is typically 1 hour and 25 minutes to 2 hours in duration depending on the class meeting schedule. Students will be required to use video in Zoom either through a webcam or phone camera so that faculty can proctor exams with camera focused on the student. Students who do not turn on their video, or turn off their video during the exam, will be asked by the faculty member to turn on the camera. Students will be reminded of the Math NY Department video policy during examinations. Students with cameras off during a substantive portion, or all, of the exam, will be considered absent and need to take the deferred exam at the instructor’s discretion. Students will upload their handwritten work to Blackboard or Brightspace. Deferred exams will be available to students for any reason because it would be challenging to document technology issues. Students who do not submit their exam on time will have to use the deferred exam. Students should know that deferred exams can be more difficult and every effort should be made to take the in-class exam. Student Accessibility Services will be utilized for students who receive documented accommodations. All homework is also submitted online.

Course Objectives By the end of Mat 131 a student should be able to: 1.

Understand and know how to compute and use limits of polynomials, trigonometric, rational and irrational functions.

2.

Know the definitions of continuity and differentiability and be able to determine if a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point.

3.

Be able to compute the derivatives of functions which are sums, differences, products, quotients and composites of algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.

4.

Know the definition of the antiderivative of a function and be able to compute both the definite and indefinite integrals of functions which include algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions

5.

Use the concepts of differentiation and integration in business, natural, economic and scientific settings.

MAT 131 Core Learning Outcomes Communication

Written and oral communication in differential and integral calculus will be used to solve calculus problems.

Analysis

Analysis of word problems and optimization problems that models real life situations is learned using analytic skills and calculus.

Intellectual depth, breadth, examine, organize and integration and application

Students will compute derivatives of various functions, understanding and analyzing the utility of this process in real-world applications. Integrals of Page 5 of 7

Mat 131: Calculus I, CRN: 70994 New York Mathematics Department Pace University algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions will also be analyzed and applied to practical situations. Problem solving

To solve problems of critical and especially practical interest. Calculus is especially useful in solving nonlinear optimization problems as well as finding area of non-regular shapes.

Scientific and quantitative reasoning

Understanding real world problems, developing solution strategies and using quantitative reasoning is learned.

University Policies Academic Accommodation

The University's commitment to equal educational opportunities for students with disabilities includes providing reasonable accommodations for the needs of students with disabilities. To request a reasonable accommodation for a qualified disability a student with a disability must self-identify and register with Student Accessibility Services for his or her campus. No one, including faculty, is authorized to evaluate the need for or grant a request for an accommodation except Student Accessibility Services. Moreover, no one, including faculty, is authorized to contact Student Accessibility Services on behalf of a student. For further information, please see Resources for Students with Disabilities page.

Withdrawal Policy

Students will receive no credit for courses they discontinue. Withdrawal after the second week of class in a 14- or 15-week semester or its equivalent will result in a grade “W” which will not affect the student's QPA. Withdrawals are permitted prior to the end of the eighth week of class. A withdrawal during the ninth and tenth weeks requires the permission of the instructor and the Dean of the School in which the student is matriculated. Students who do not withdraw within these times will continue to be registered for the course and will be assigned an “F” in the course affected if they have not completed the requirements of the course.
