TEXTBOOK:
E. F. Haeussler, R. S. Paul, R. Wood,
Introductory Mathematical Analysis
11th edition, published by Pearson Prentice Hall 2005
TOPICS TO BE COVERED:
One theme
of
the course is optimization — how to maximize or minimize a function
subject
to certain constraints.
Most of the
course is a discussion of calculus and its applications; matrix theory
and its applications are also
discussed.
The emphasis will be on techniques and on applications to business and
management problems.
Prerequisite:
AS/SC/MATH 1515 3.0 (may also be taken as a first-term Corequisite) or
OAC Calculus
or 12U Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus or equivalent.
SYLLABUS: We will study the
following sections:
Chapter 3: lines, parabolas, and
systems
Sections 1--6
Chapter 4: exponential and logarithmic
functions
Sections 1--4
Chapter 5: mathematics of
finance
Sections 1--4
Chapter 6: matrix
algebra
Sections 1--7
Chapter 7: linear
programming
Sections 1--3
Chapter 10: limits and
continuity
Sections 1--5
Chapter 11:
differentiation
Sections 1--6
Chapter 12: additional differentiation
topics
Sections 1--5, 7
Chapter 13: curve
sketching
Sections 1--6
Chapter 14:
integration
Sections 1--8, 10--12
Chapter 15: methods and applications of
integration
Sections 1, 7
Chapter 17: multivariable
calculus
Sections 1--8
HOMEWORK:
(Solutions 1,
2,
3,
4 ) You are expected to do all of the
assigned
homework.
Universal Math Theorem:
The grade you receive will
be proportional to the amount
of time you spend doing problems.
EXAMS: There will be four midterm tests and the final exam.
Tests:
Thursday, October 4; Tuesdays, November 13, January
22, March 4.
Marks:
Each of the three tests (Oct.4, Jan.22, Mar. 4 ) 15%; the test (
Nov.13) 20%; Final exam 35%.
MISSED EXAMS: There will be no
make-up
exams for missed tests. Upon presentation of
documentation of a valid excuse, the corresponding percentage
of the final mark will be added
to the final exam. With no presentation of such documentation a grade
of zero will be entered
for the missed tests.

Drop deadline: February 1, 2008.
