Department of Mathematics › University of Connecticut

Text:

Calculus I, Early Transcendentals, Single Variable by William Briggs and Lyle Cochran (1^st Edition), with MyMathLab code.

You can buy Early Transcendentals, Single Variable by Briggs and Cochran at the UConn Coop, online directly from the publilsher, and many other places. CAUTION: Make sure you get MyMathLab codes bundled with the text as they cost about – each semester when purchased separately. Single Variable volume is used for both Math 1125, Math 1126 and Math 1132. You will need to purchase the multivariable volume for Math 2110. We chose the single volumes as the recommended text since were able to have MyMathlab codes (for life of edition) bundled with both semesters text. However, you are able to purchase combined versions (heavy book for 1131-1132-210)

The publisher has set up a special web page, http://vig.pearsoned.com/store/home?url=/uconn/calculus, for UConn students to purchase a text online with the MyMathlab codes bundled.

Calculators:

Graphing calculators (TI 82, 83, 84, 85 or 86 recommended). (TI 89 and above will not be allowed during the exams.)

Homework and MyMathLab:

The homework for Math 1125 is assigned online using the MyMathlab online home work system. To access your homework online you must go to www.mymathlab.com. Key points to remember:

Homework: There will be homework assignments for each section of the text. Each assignment will be made available on MyMathLab Plus several days before the section is covered in class. The due date for each assignment will be set by your instructor and will generally be three days after the material is covered in class. You will get 5 attempts to answer each none multiple choice question and 2 attempts for each multiple choice question. After each attempt, you will be told whether your answer is correct or not. If you are not able to get the correct answer after your initial attempts, we recommend that you seek help from your instructor, the Q-Center, a tutor, or another student.

Quizzes: There will be a quiz on each homework assignment. These quizzes will be timed assignments on MyMathLab Plus and will generally be due one day after the homework assignment. There may be additional quizzes in class.

Grading

Online Homework	MyMathLab Plus	15%
Online Quizzes	MyMathLab Plus	10%
Exam 1	Common evening exam	20%
Exam 2	Common evening exam	20%
Final Exam	Common (2hours)	35%

The evening exams will be held in rooms (TBA) from 6-8 pm. The dates and times are listed in PeopleSoft, but not the rooms. Common make-up exams will be held from 8-10 pm on the same days as the exams. Permission from your instructor is required.
