Course Description: For students not planning to major in the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, or computer science. Math 125 is designed to introduce and explore the calculus of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions with applications. The objective of the course is to familiarize the student with the basic concepts and techniques of differential and integral calculus and their applications in problem solving.All students are required to have a graphing calculator . The math department supports the TI-83+ and the TI-84+.

Text:    Brief Calculus, An Applied Approach, by Larson, 8'th edition, Houghton Mifflin Publishers.

Required Companion Websites: Enhanced Web Assign. Use the "passkey" that came with your new textbook and the instructions provided by your instructor to accesss on-line resources.

Calculator: A graphing calculator is helpful. I provides support for the TI calculators, including TI-83, TI-83 plus and the TI-84 plus. Use of cell phone calculators and calculators with advanced alpha-numeric capabilities, such as the TI-89 are forbidden in this course.

Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test score, or math 119 or math 130. If you previously received credit for 141 or 152 with a C or better you will not subsequently receive credit for math 125. Students who receive a grade of C or better in math 125 will not subsequently receive credit for 119.

Classroom Etiquette: While in the classroom you are expected to behave as adults. Do NOT come to class late or leave class early. If you disrupt the class or disturb others by whispering or talking you will be asked to leave the classroom. Turn off cell phones and beepers during class. Refrain from reading newspapers or working on other course work during lecture. For information on classroom behavior expectations go to the following link

Extra Help: Double click on the following link: Exam and Study Hints
The Math Tutorial Center (Ayres 322) provides free tutoring. Hours of operation are posted at http://www.math.utk.edu/MTC/.

Disability Services: If you need extra help due to a disability please contact the office of disability services at 2227 Dunford Hall (phone: 974-6087).

Student ID: You must have your student ID when you take the exams.

Quizzes & Attendance: (15%) There are NO make-ups for quizzes under any circumstances. Your three lowest quiz grades are dropped. Homework may be picked up instead of an in-class quiz. Quizzes are not announced in advance. Attendance grade will be incorporated with the quizzes. Attendance is required.

Web Assign: (5% ) Web assign is a computer generated program of "Math 125" problems. The cost is $35. You can purchase your acces code number from the bookstore or on-line.

Exams: (15% each) A total of four exams are given in the semester. There are NO make-ups! Do not miss an exam. Your lowest exam score is dropped. Your dropped exam can not be a grade of "0", or a no- show.

Final: ( 20%) The final exam is comprehensive- (covers "all" material.). The final exam is mandatory for all students. Students who miss the final without securing permission ahead of time will fail the course. ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM. If you do not show up to take the final exam- you shall receive an "F" in the course. The final exam times are listed at the bottom of the syllabus.

Academic Standards of Conduct (from "Hill topics: Student Handbook,"

All students are expected to abide by the University Honor Statement. In mathematics classes, violations of the honor statement include copying another person's work on any graded assignment or test, collaborating on a graded assignment without the instructor's approval, using unauthorized "cheat sheets" or technical devices such as calculators, cell phones or computers for graded tests or assignments, or other infractions listed in "Hill topics". These violations are serious offenses, subject to disciplinary action that may include failure in a course and/or dismissal from the University. The instructor has full authority to suspend a student from his/her class, to assign an "F" in an exercise or examination, or to assign an "F" in the course. See "Hill topics" for more complete information. A report of all offenses will be sent to appropriate deans and the Office of Student Judicial Affairs for possible further action.
The Honor Statement:
An essential feature of the University of Tennessee is a commitment to maintaining an atmosphere of intellectual integrity and academic honesty. As a student of the University, I pledge that I will neither knowingly give nor receive any inappropriate assistance in academic work, thus affirming my own personal commitment to honor and integrity.
