Math 20A, Summer Session 1 2021

Math 20A - Calculus for Science and Engineering (4 units), Lecture A, Summer Session 1 2021

Lecture: Lectures are pre-recorded and the videos are available on Canvas. The lecture notes are posted in Canvas under Files.
Discussion:
- (A01) Th 12pm-1:50pm PT RCLAS
- (A02) Th 2pm-3:50pm PT RCLAS
Course Description: Foundations of differential and integral calculus of one variable. Functions, graphs, continuity, limits, derivative, tangent line. Applications with algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Introduction to the integral. (Two credits given if taken after Math 1A/10A and no credit given if taken after Math 1B/10B or Math 1C/10C. Formerly numbered Math 2A.)
Prerequisites: Math Placement Exam qualifying score, or AP Calculus AB score of 3 (or equivalent AB subscore on BC exam), or SAT II Math 2C score of 650 or higher, or Math 4C or Math 10A.
Textbooks: Calculus: Early Transcendentals by Jon Rogawski and Colin Adams, fourth edition. You must purchase an access code for WebAssign, by either purchasing a new textbook through the UCSD Bookstore (which should come with a WebAssign access code), or buying only electronic access from the WebAssign website. Please contact WebAssign Student Support if you are experiencing any issues with WebAssign.
Homework: Online homework will generally be due on Fridays at 11:59pm PT. The homework is given through WebAssign, which you must access through Canvas (so you do not need a Class Key). When you access WebAssign for the first time, you'll need to create a Cengage account or log in to an existing account. You have a grace period of 14 days before you need to enter a WebAssign access code.
See the table below for the homework due dates. You are allowed 100 attempts to correctly answer problems. If you need a homework extension, you can request an automatic extension of 3 days within 3 days of the deadline through WebAssign, but any problems completed after the original deadline will earn a maximum of 50% of the total score for those problems. The number of points in each homework assignment varies, so instead of dropping a homework assignment, the maximum total homework score will be 30 points less than the actual possible total. (However, the maximum homework grade will still be 100%.) There are also textbook homework problems that we expect you to complete, but these will not be collected or graded. See the table below for the textbook problems.
Quizzes and Final Exam:
- Quiz 1: Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6. Wednesday, July 7, 1pm-2pm PT
- Quiz 2: Sections 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4. Monday, July 12, 1pm-2pm PT
- Quiz 3: Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10. Monday, July 19, 1pm-2pm PT
- Quiz 4: Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6. Monday, July 26, 1pm-2pm PT
- Final Exam: Cumulative. Friday, July 30, 11:30am-2:30pm PT
Quiz and Final Exam Policies: All quizzes and the final exam will be submitted through Gradescope. Here is a video showing how to submit your work, and you can read detailed instructions here. The quiz/exam periods were scheduled to be slightly longer than the actual time necessary to complete the work. The extended time is meant to act as a buffer in case you have any technical issues uploading your work. Work will be graded for both clarity and correctness. You may use your notes and the textbook. No other form of assistance is allowed (e.g. calculators, internet resources, software, other people, etc.) Any proof of academic dishonesty will be reported. No make-up quizzes/exams will be given. However, the lowest quiz score will be dropped. If you cannot take the quizzes or final exam at the scheduled time because of a difference in time zone, fill out this form by Friday, July 2nd. Requests made after this date will be denied.

Grading: Final grades will be calculated using the following grading scheme and grade cutoffs:

25% Homework, 45% Quizzes (the best 3 quiz scores will each count towards 15% of the final grade), 30% Final Exam

A+	A	A-	B+	B	B-	C+	C	C-
97	93	90	87	83	80	77	73	70
