Course
Content
Math 242 is the second course in the three course calculus sequence. The prerequisites and a brief course description of Math 242 or a detailed list of the topics and sections of the textbook covered in Math 242 are available. In Math 242, traditional calculus is supplemented by an introduction and a reasonable mastery of the Maple computer algebra package.
Student
Assessment
Student's mastery of the material covered in this course will be assessed on three midterm exams, a final exam, several Maple labs, graded homeworks, and a Maple test. The results of these assessments will be made available using Sakai. I have prepared a document giving a detailed description how a student's grade will be computed.
The course fulfills several of the departmental program goals and the general education goals of the University of Delaware.
