The course covers also infinite sequences and series: limits of sequences of numbers, bounded sequences, integral test for series, comparison tests, ratio and root tests, alternating series test, absolute and conditional convergence, power series, Taylor and Maclaurin series, and applications of power series. Polar functions, polar coordinates, and graphing of polar curves are also covered. In addition, topics from multivariable calculus are introduced: functions of several variables, partial derivatives, double integrals, applications to double integrals, and double integrals in polar form.

Students caught cheating for the second time will receive a grade of “F” in the course and another warning. Plagiarism on assignments and project work is a serious offense. If plagiarism is detected, a student will be subject to penalty, similar to the cheating case, which ranges from receiving a zero on the assignment concerned to an “F” in the course in addition to a warning. ATTENDANCE POLICY Missing one third of classes implies that a student has to drop the course. Page 2 of 3 1. Students are held responsible for all the material presented in the classroom, even during their absence. 2. Students can miss no more than the equivalent of five weeks of instruction and still receive credit for that course. 3. Instructors have the right to impose specific attendance regulations in their courses, provided that the above-stated limit of absences is not exceeded, and the minimum number of absences allowed is no fewer than the equivalent of two weeks of classroom instruction, after the Drop and Add period. 4. Instructors will inform the Departments Chairperson and the Guidance Office, of any prolonged unexplained absence. 5. Students who exceed the allowed number of absences must withdraw from the course; otherwise, the course grade will be recorded as “F” (NP). WITHDRAWAL POLICY “Students wishing to withdraw from one or more courses must follow the withdrawal procedure provided by the Registrar’s Office. Students withdrawing from courses after the late registration period and before the withdrawal deadline will receive Ws for all the courses in progress.” New Withdrawal Policy 1. A student who withdraws after the Drop/Add period and by the end of the 5th week of classes (10th day of classes for Summer Modules) will obtain a “WI” on that particular course.  The student may process such request directly through the Registrar’s Office. The deadline for WI is October 22, 2014. 2. 2.  A student who withdraws from a course between the 6th week and the end of the 10th week of classes (18th day of classes for Summer Modules) will receive either a “WP” or a “WF”.  “WP” or “WF” will be determined by the instructor based on the achieved academic performance in that course till the time of withdrawal. 3. 3.  The “WI” and the “WP” will not count as a Repeat; whereas the   “WF” will count as a Repeat. “WI”, “WP” and “WF”  will not count towards the GPA calculation. WI is equivalent to Early Withdrawal WP is equivalent to Withdrawal/Pass WF is equivalent to Withdrawal/Fail The deadline for WP/WF is November 25, 2014. COURSE EVALUATION As per SAC decision on Jan. 10/Jan. 17, 2014: Students are urged to complete course evaluation, for improvement purposes. Page 3 of 3
