• Grading: Grades will be based on weekly homework (20%), weekly quizzes (25%), midterm (25%) and final (30%). Your lowest homework and quiz scores will be dropped.

Homework:

Homework is due on Gradescope on the day indicated below before 4 pm ET. Late submissions will not be accepted. Please upload your solutions by following the instructions in this video.  Feel free to submit handwritten or work typeset in LaTeX (Overleaf is a great resource and tool for the latter). If you are skipping a problem, it is easier for the grader if you write "Skip" and upload that as your solution to the problem. You are more than welcome to work with others on the homework problems. However, the solutions should be written up on your own and reflect your understanding.

Quizzes:
There will be weekly in-class quizzes on Fridays for 15-20 mins at the beginning of the class. The quizzes will be covering the material of the week before.

Schedule:

The specific topics covered in each class are tentative and will be updated as the term progresses. Moreover, the notes posted for each lecture may contain slightly more content than the lecture and may bleed a bit into the next lecture. Let me know if you find any errors.

Course Catalogue Description:

This course is an introduction to single variable calculus aimed at students who have seen some calculus before, either before matriculation or in MATH 1.  MATH 3 begins by revisiting the core topics in MATH 1 - convergence, limits, and derivatives - in greater depth before moving to applications of differentiation such as related rates, finding extreme values, and optimization.  The course then turns to integration theory, introducing the integral via Riemann sums, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and basic techniques of integration.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

1. Describe what continuity of a function is using graphic, numerical, and algebraic tools.
2. Understand what derivatives and integrals represent.
3. Differentiate and integrate functions of single variable.
4. Sketch a graph of a function by analyzing its properties.
5. Set up mathematical statements from the word problems and given data.
6. Develop a sense how mathematics can be used in various fields.

Additional Resources: 

• Interactive book Ximera
  
  
• YouTube Channel by Grant Sanderson: 3Blue1Brown, The essense of Calculus
  
  
• It is highly recommended to solve as many exercises from the textbook or other resources as you have time for. This will be more useful than rereading your class notes or textbook as it will often force you to go back to look at the material anyway. The only way to truly learn mathematics is through practice. Feel free to ask your instructor about your solutions.
  
  
• There are many other textbooks and online materials that you can consult. If you have questions on whether a particular one might be useful, do not hesitate to reach out.
