Calculus stands as one of the greatest achievements of the human intellect. It is used to model and solve problems in mathematics, the physical sciences, engineering, and the social and biological sciences--that is, problems in our real world. The main ideas of Calculus are concerned with change and motion and its two fundamental mathematical operations are differentiation and integration . In this course we will study some of the fundamental building blocks of the Calculus--that is, functions, limits, the derivative and applications of differentiation.
As we begin our journey down the Calculus road it is important to keep in mind the following:
M113Q. Introductory Calculus 2. (4 credits). Limits, derivatives, and extreme values of trigonometric functions, with supporting trigonometric topics; anti-derivatives of algebraic and trigonometric functions; the definite integral and applications

Calculator Policy
Students should bring a graphing calculator (most models will do) to all
classes and know how to operate it properly. Calculators will be allowed during
exams; however, all work must be shown in order to receive full
credit on a problem.
Academic Integrity
A fundamental tenet of all educational institutions is academic honesty;
academic work depends upon respect for and acknowledgement of the research
and ideas of others. Misrepresenting someone else's work as one's own is a
serious offense in any academic setting and it will not be condoned.
Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, providing or receiving
assistance in a manner not authorized by the instructor in the creation of
work to be submitted for academic evaluation (e.g. papers, projects, and examinations);
any attempt to influence improperly (e.g. bribery, threats)any member of the
faculty, staff, or administration of the University in any matter pertaining
to academics or research; presenting, as one's own,the ideas or words of another
for academic evaluation; doing unauthorized academic work for which another
person will receive credit or be evaluated; and presenting the same or substantially
the same papers or projects in two or more courses without the explicit permission
of the instructors involved.
A student who knowingly assists another student in committing an act of academic
misconduct shall be equally accountable for the violation, and shall be subject
to the sanctions and other remedies described in The Student Code.
Support Services
The Dean of Students Office provides student support services in a number of areas. The following websites and phone numbers can be used to access these services:
Tutoring
It may be that at some point during this semester you may need extra help
in order to understand the material taught in class. There are a number of
places you can go to receive extra help. First, you should visit your instructor
or TA during his or her office hours. If you need further help there are two
other places you can visit--the Q-Center and the Calculus Center.
Q-Center
The Q-Center (Q for Quantitative) operates in conjunction with various departments
on campus (e.g., biology, chemistry, economics, mathematics, physics, statistics,
and the School of Business) and provides the following resources to help students
succeed in their Q-courses:
· Tutoring- on a drop in basis
· Assistance with homework
· Exam review sessions (including a bank of previous exams)
· Forming and assisting study groups from within your Q-classes
Students visiting the Q-Center should bring their textbooks, class notes,
and calculators. The Q-Center is located in the Center for Undergraduate Education
Building (CUE) in room 123. The staff is made up of well-trained graduate
and undergraduate students who provide a welcoming environment and are interested
in helping students achieve in their courses. You can find out more about
this center by visiting the following website: http://web.uconn.edu/qcenter/index.htm
Calculus Center
The Mathematics Department runs a free Calculus Center. The Calculus Center
is staffed by course instructors, advanced undergraduate students and undergraduate
tutors who have been trained to tutor calculus. This is an excellent place
for you to go when you need a little extra help or clarification on a topic
discussed in class. Calculus Center hours and additional information are available
on the
Calculus Center website.
See individual instructors for grading guidelines.
Each instructor will notify you about the content and date of exams to be given during the semester.
If you need exam accomodations based on a documented disability, you need to speak with both the Center for Students with Disabilities and the course instructor within the first two weeks of the semester.
