This course is about integrals and their applications. We will study the process of computing integrals (which takes a surprising amount of trial-and-error practice), the use of integrals for solving real-world problems, as well as differential equations and power series. In comparison to Math 133, which covers the same material, we will spend less time on computation and more time on problem-solving and the theory of why calculus works the way it does.

There are no calculators allowed on any of the exams.

There will be no make-up exams. If any of these dates presents an unavoidable conflict, please let me know ASAP. Otherwise, the only acceptable reason for missing an exam is a legitimate and documented emergency, such as an illness with a doctor's note. In the event of an excused absence from a midterm, the other exams will count for a larger percentage of your grade. By university policy, there is no alternative to taking the final on April 28.

• You should try to do all of the problems on your own before getting together with others. It does not benefit you (on exams and in the real world when you need to use math) to simply get solutions from your classmates! In fact, there is research suggesting that group work is much more productive when everyone has thought about the problems before getting together.
• Everyone must turn in their own solutions. In other words, you should write up your final solutions in the privacy of your own room (or your own library, cafe, bar, roof, etc.).

If there is a homework problem which you are unable to solve even after thinking about it hard (and after reading the relevant section of the book), there are several resources for help:

• Your classmates
• Office hours. I would be happy to help you out if you are stuck, but I will not answer questions about problems that you have yet to think about!
• The Math Learning Center, located on the first floor of the A-Wing of Wells Hall. For hours of operation and for more information, see http://www.math.msu.edu/~mlc/
