General Course Information
Course Content: Math 112 is the second course in a three-semester calculus sequence. This course is concerned primarily with the basic ideas of integral calculus and the Riemann sums that serve as its foundation. We will cover the ideas of integral calculus including integration and the fundamental theorem, techniques of integration, numerical methods, and applications of integration. Analysis of differential equations by separation of variables, Euler’s method, and slope fields will also be a part of the course, as will the ideas of convergence related to improper integrals, sequences, series and Taylor Series.

Software: There will be a considerable amount of work done with the computer program Maple, but all you
need to know about the program will be covered in class. Maple is available for use in RBH 311, Pierce 01 and other
public network sites.
Attendance Policy: Learning mathematics is greatly enhanced through active participation in mathematical
discussions and small group activities. To fully take advantage of these modes of learning, it is essential that
you attend class. You will be expected to attend and be on time for each class meeting. A student who misses a
class meeting will be held responsible for the material covered and any assignments or announcements that were
given.
Computer Use Policy: This classroom is equipped with computers for student use. During a class period computer
usage is restricted to students enrolled in the course. In addition, use of the computer by enrolled students is
limited to activities related to current class discussions and found appropriate by the instructor. In that inappropriate
computer use during class by a student can be distracting to other students, such use is prohibited during class.
Inappropriate activities include playing computer games, reading e-mail, chatting, surfing the web, working assignments
for other courses, or any other activity which distracts the student, or other students, from the work of the course.
The instructor may exact penalties for inappropriate computer use during class.
Academic Honesty: The rules set forth in the 2003-2004 Course of Study apply to all aspects of this course.
In general, any work submitted for credit must result directly from your own understanding, thoughts, and ideas.
Presenting the work of others as your own is strictly prohibited. In the case of homework you may collaborate with
others in discussing how a problem may be solved, but the final submitted solution should be worked independently.
Assistance may neither be given nor received (other than from the instructor) on any quiz or exam associated with
this course, except where explicitly allowed by the instructor. In the case of a group assignment, full collaboration
on all aspects of the assignment is required of group members. Each member of a group will be held equally responsible
for work submitted.
Disabilities: If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your
ability to carry out assigned course work, I urge you to contact the Office of Disability Services at 5453. The
Coordinator of Disability Services, Erin Salva (salvae@kenyon.edu), will review your concerns and, with your input,
determine what accommodations are appropriate. All information and documentation of disability is confidential.
It is Ms. Salva who has the authority and the expertise to decide on the accommodations that are proper for your
disability. Though I am happy to help you in any way that I can, I cannot make any accommodations without prior
authorization from Ms. Salva.
