| Lecture | Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, 2:00–2:50 p.m., Kimpel Hall 411 |
| Instructor | Ariel Barton |
| aeb019@uark.edu | |
| Office | SCEN 222 |
| Office hours |
Kimpel Hall 411, Thursdays 2:00–2:50
SCEN 222, Tuesdays 3:30, Thursdays 10:00, or by appointment. Course assistants for Math 2574C may be found in the Teaching Center (CHPN 326) Mondays 2-3, Tuesdays 2-3, Wednesdays 11-1 and 3-4, and Thursdays 1-3. They can probably help you; however, you should tell them that you are enrolled in the honors section and thus may be working at a different pace. No class meetings or office hours will be held on days when the university is closed due to inclement weather. |
Course Description: Differential and integral calculus of several variables, and vector calculus.
Prerequisites: MATH 2564 with a grade of A, or MATH 2564H with a grade of A or B, or a score of 5 on the AP BC Calculus exam.
Text: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 2nd Edition, by William Briggs, Lyle Cochran, and Bernard Gillett.
Course grade: Here is how I plan to weigh your grades:
| MyMathLabs homework | 15% |
| Written homework | 10% |
| Midterm tests | 15% each |
| Final | 30% |
Tests: There will be three midterms tests and a final exam. I plan to hold midterm exams during class time on the dates indicated in the calendar above. The final exam will occur in our regular classroom at the time indicated on the registrar’s website.
If you require accommodations on an exam, notify your instructor as soon as possible, but in all cases at least one week before the exam is to be held. Documentation from the CEA will be required.
Make-up exam requests also require written documentation as to your conflict. Except in the case of medical or other unforeseen emergencies, make-up exam requests must be made at least one week before the exam is to be held. Make-up exams are at the instructor's discretion; if you do not provide a documented reason why you cannot take the exam at the usual time, if your reason is considered inadequate, or if your request for a make-up exam is not made in a timely fashion, I reserve the right to refuse a make-up exam or to assess a late penalty (deduction from your score).
Homework: Written assignments will be posted to this website. You may ask anyone for help with your homework, but you must write up your solutions on your own.
Written assignments should be turned in for grading during class on the due date. We expect you to turn in your homework in class; if you cannot make it to class, either ask a classmate to turn in your homework for you or ask your instructor if they will accept homework at some other time. Late homework will not be accepted except in the case of a medical or other unforeseeable emergency; if you will be absent on the due date, consult with your instructor and arrange to turn homework in early.
Computer-graded assignments will be assigned via MyMathLabs.
I expect to have 11 assignments over the course of the semester; your lowest score (or two scores) will be dropped and the remaining 10 (or 9) assignments will comprise 20% of your course grade.
Incompletes: Only given in extreme circumstances, and only when the student has satisfactorily completed all but a small portion of the work in the course. Students must make prior arrangements with the professor well before the end of the semester.
Academic Integrity: All students will be bound by and should familiarize themselves with the university's academic integrity policy.
