Math 41 Autumn 2012

Home

Math 41 is a 5-unit course in introductory calculus with an accelerated pace -- the class covers limits, derivatives, applications of differentiation, and the basics of integration (up to substitution and integration by parts). It is one of three different single-variable calculus courses taught at Stanford in the autumn quarter, so you should be deciding during the first week whether it's the right calculus class for you.

If you have recently finished a calculus class covering all of the subjects listed above and you feel confident about them, you should consider instead taking Math 41's continuation, Math 42, this fall -- even if you don't have AP credit. If you're undecided about which of Math 41/42 (or any two courses in sequence) to take, keep in mind that it will be easier to drop back than to jump ahead during the second or third week of the quarter.

On the other hand, if it's been a year or more since your last math class or you are taking math just to satisfy a DB-MATH, you should consider instead entering the Math 19-20-21 sequence -- even if you did well in calculus in high school. The sequence Math 19-20-21 covers the same material as Math 41-42, but at the more traditional year-long pace (ending with Math 21 in the spring quarter). By contrast, Math 41 moves very quickly, and leaves you very little time to get back into shape if your math skills are rusty. It is intended to quickly develop the necessary background for students who will need calculus for their further studies, and may be more intense than what students satisfying a disciplinary breadth requirement are looking for.

On Registrar deadlines: Please pay careful attention to all Registrar deadlines, especially the add/drop deadline at the end of the third week of classes. University Advising and Research has recently reaffirmed that it will not allow changes in course registrations from Math 42 to 41 after the drop deadline. However, UAR has a special provision in place to accept petitions for switches from Math 41 to 19 submitted in complete form before Friday, October 26th at 5pm. The instructions for how to properly complete the petition is contained at the bottom of this page. You can also contact your instructor for more information.

Textbook

The textbook is Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th edition, by James Stewart. We will cover most of the material from Chapter 1 through the first half of Chapter 5. Most homework exercises and reading assignments are taken from the book, so you should have access to a copy throughout the quarter. (It is not recommended that you try to use a copy of an older edition: although the text is very similar, some examples, some of the homework problems, and most of the problem numbers will be different.)

This text is also used by Math 19, 20, 21, and 42.

Lectures and Sections

Each week you will attend three lectures and two discussion sections. The lectures are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, either at 9am, 10am, 11am, or 1:15pm. The discussion sections are on Tuesday and Thursday. See the Section Assignments page to view the choices for times and locations and instructions on the sign-up process. You will sign up for a discussion section via CourseWork, and your available options will depend on your lecture instructor.

The lectures will be used primarily to introduce concepts and develop theory, and serve as a complement to the course textbook. You can get the most out of lecture by having first read the relevant sections in the textbook (as set in the calendar of topics on the course schedule page). In the discussion sections, you meet with your Teaching Assistant in a smaller group. Much of the time in section will be used for example problems based on topics developed in lecture and the textbook; you can get the most out of section by working on the posted daily discussion problems in advance (i.e., immediately after lectures).

Attendance at all lectures and sections is required. If you miss a lecture or a section, it is your responsibility to catch up on the topics that you missed. You should keep in mind that in this course, the material builds on itself; if you miss some of the material, subsequent lectures will be more difficult (or even unintelligible) for you.

Homework

There will be weekly homework assignments. For more information and policies, see the Homework page.

Calculators

Calculators will not be used in a systematic way in Math 41. Calculators will not be allowed on any of the exams, nor should there be any need for one. Occasionally, homework problems may call for the use of a scientific or graphing calculator.

Exams

The midterm exams will be held in the evenings on October 18 and November 8. The exact times and locations and other information will be posted on the Exam Information page. If you have a schedule conflict with one of the midterm exams due to another course meeting, you must at least one week before the exam to arrange to take it at an alternate (early) sitting. (The same deadline holds for OAE accomodation requests; see below for details.)

The final exam will be held on Monday, December 10, from 7-10pm. You must take the final exam at this time, which is set by the University.

All of the exams are closed book, closed notes, with no electronic aids. For each exam, if appropriate, you may be provided with a formula sheet, which will be available on the exam materials page prior to the exam, along with other study materials.

Grades

Your grade will be based on the following components:

Weekly Homework: 10%
Total points earned on all exams (midterms and final): 90%

Points available on exams: The total points available on the exams will be in approximate proportion 2:2:3. That is, the first and second midterm exams will have approximately equal numbers of total points available, and the number of points available on the final exam will be approximately 1.5 times those available on a single midterm exam.

There are no predetermined numerical cutoffs for letter grades, and the cutoffs may turn out to be rather different from what you are accustomed to from high school. In general, the grade distribution for the class is usually (roughly) as follows: around 30% of the class receive A's, around 40% receive B's, and most of the rest receive C's.

CourseWork

CourseWork is a web-based program that will be used in Math 41 to allow students to check grades online. It is a secure program, so your grades will be available through CourseWork only to you. Every student must sign into CourseWork and choose a discussion section. CourseWork will be our primary gradekeeping tool; if you do not sign up, you could lose credit for work that you have done. This is completely independent of signing up for the course on Axess -- neither program has any knowledge of the other.

Before you sign into CourseWork, make sure you read the Section Assignments page, which contains instructions on the sign-up process for discussion sections.

Again, remember that Axess and CourseWork are different programs, and you will sign up for different course components on each -- on CourseWork, you sign up for a discussion section based on the table on the Section Assignments page, but on Axess you sign up for a lecture.

Despite its other capabilities, in this class CourseWork will be used only for grades and possibly email announcements.

Links, Getting Help, and Other Resources

Tips for Success in Undergraduate Math Courses by Jessica Purcell
Some very good advice for college calculus students. Read this carefully and do as it suggests.
Note: Pay particular attention to #3 under "Weekly" and #6 and #7 under "Before the exam". Students who think they're following these tips often overlook those parts, and they're the most important ones!

Common Errors in Undergraduate Mathematics by Eric Schechter
Although this document is a bit on the long side, you should read at least some of it carefully -- you'll do better in your math classes because of it. We encourage you to pay particular attention to the sections: bad handwriting, all of the algebra errors, stream-of-consciousness notations, and going over your work.

Math 41 Teaching Staff Office Hours
Your first resource for help outside of class meetings should be the course instructors and teaching assistants. You are encouraged to attend any of their office-hour sessions, not just those for your lecture or section leader, and no appointment is necessary at the times posted. In office hours we welcome any kind of question; we are here to help you and ready to explain the same thing as many times as necessary. You can also email us, but keep in mind that questions in office hours are answered more quickly and more clearly.

Statement from the Registrar concerning students with documented disabilities:
"Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability must initiate the request with the Office of Accessible Education (OAE). Professional staff will evaluate the request with required documentation, recommend reasonable accommodations, and prepare an Accommodation Letter for faculty dated in the current quarter in which the request is being made. Students should contact the OAE as soon as possible since timely notice is needed to coordinate accommodations. The OAE is located at 563 Salvatierra Walk (phone: 723-1066)."

Honor Code and Fundamental Standard
By Math Department policy, any student found to be in violation of the Honor Code on any assignment or exam in this course will receive a final course letter grade of NP.

Statement from Undergraduate Advising and Research concerning the special provision for fifth-week switch to Math 19:
"A switch from either MATH 41 or MATH 41A to MATH 19 has been approved. Students will receive full credit for MATH 19 (3 units) upon earning a passing grade for the course. Note: Because of the discrepancy in units between either MATH 41 (5 units) or MATH 41A (6 units), and MATH 19 (3 units), students should be advised to consider the possible impact this change may have on their university enrollment requirements. For this reason, students switching from either MATH 41/41A must meet with a UAR Advisor.

Specifically, students should complete the Petition to Change Course Enrollment form in the following manner:

Complete the personal information section.
Select 'Section change' and enter the information for both courses in the Change Requested section.
Obtain signature from the instructor of the new course. []
Sign the form.
Meet with an Advisor from the office of Undergraduate Advising and Research to discuss the situation and obtain the Advisor's signature.
Submit the form to VPUE in the office of Undergraduate Advising and Research (UAR) by 5:00pm, October 26, 2012.
Students will not need to write a statement regarding why they wish to submit the petition. But they will need to obtain the instructor's signature, as well as the signature of a UAR Advisor. The request will be routinely approved and rather than a withdrawal with the notation of 'W,' MATH 41 or MATH 41A will be dropped from the student's record and MATH 19 will be added. Students should be directed to speak with their new MATH instructor regarding the grading policy for the MATH Switch.": Some very good advice for college calculus students.

Students should be directed to speak with their new MATH instructor regarding the grading policy for the MATH Switch.": "Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability must initiate the request with the Office of Accessible Education (OAE). Professional staff will evaluate the request with required documentation, recommend reasonable accommodations, and prepare an Accommodation Letter for faculty dated in the current quarter in which the request is being made. Students should contact the OAE as soon as possible since timely notice is needed to coordinate accommodations. The OAE is located at 563 Salvatierra Walk (phone: 723-1066)."
Honor Code and Fundamental Standard
By Math Department policy, any student found to be in violation of the Honor Code on any assignment or exam in this course will receive a final course letter grade of NP.

Statement from Undergraduate Advising and Research concerning the special provision for fifth-week switch to Math 19:
"A switch from either MATH 41 or MATH 41A to MATH 19 has been approved. Students will receive full credit for MATH 19 (3 units) upon earning a passing grade for the course. Note: Because of the discrepancy in units between either MATH 41 (5 units) or MATH 41A (6 units), and MATH 19 (3 units), students should be advised to consider the possible impact this change may have on their university enrollment requirements. For this reason, students switching from either MATH 41/41A must meet with a UAR Advisor.

Specifically, students should complete the Petition to Change Course Enrollment form in the following manner:

Complete the personal information section.
Select 'Section change' and enter the information for both courses in the Change Requested section.
