       COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This course covers topics such as limits of functions and
       sequences, series and the study of their convergence, applications of these topics in the
       world outside  the classroom. To some parts of the material you might have been
       exposed in previous courses; nevertheless, you are strongly advised  to try to follow  all the
       lectures with attention, as you may make conceptual connections which had not occured to
       you before. I will try to at least match the student's effort in the endeavour to understand
       these concepts, but lack of motivation will not receive any additional attention .
       The website for the course is www.math.cmu.edu/~pradu/21118.html
             The text is  Calculus by James Stewart.

       HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: About twice a week the students will be required to turn in
       an assignment which will consist of 10-20 exercises given in class; at a student's request,
       there will also be optional assignments on which the student can work to improve on those
       subjects that s/he doesn't feel confident about. Also, reading assignments will be assigned,
       and at the beginning of each class students will be asked to present a problem or some
       theoretical facts from the assigned material. Late assignments will be accepted only in special
       situations.

       SYLLABUS:  The syllabus is somewhat tentative, depending on the student backgrounds.
              Week 1:   4.4, 4.9, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3

      GRADING AND EXAMS :There will be two tests and a quiz of 10 minutes on every Monday
      (2 quizzes). The average of the tests will be 70% of the final grade; the homework
      assignments will represent 20% and the quizzes 10%. Make-up exams will be administered
      only in extreme cases. Cheating will be penalized by at best giving a lower letter for the course
      grade. The test dates are: Wednesday  06/ 19,  Friday 06/ 28.
 
     COURSE POLICY: Class attendance is expected. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to get
     the material and the homework assignments from your colleagues. You may discuss your homework
     assignments with each other, but the solutions should be written up individually. The final solutions
     should not be  shared.
