This is the home page for the Spring 2017 Calculus II class at Marlboro College. If you are in the class, log-in at the top-right of the screen to access more menu options on the left. A copy of the handout from the intro class is attached at the bottom of this page.

course outline

After a recap of the material that will be assumed, we'll start on the core of the course: an introduction to differential equations, hyperbolic functions, integration techniques, uses of integration, polar coordinates, complex numbers, sequences and series, and power series. We will cover at least one more topic, or look at one or more of these in more depth, the choice to be determined by the interests of the class.
The core will approximately follow chapters six through ten of Strang's Calculus with additions and omissions to be announced as we go.

how to use this site

If you are logged in, you should be able to see a list of links under the heading "student" on the left. There are two that you should look at frequently. The "preparation" page will list what you need to have done for each class (reading, practice exercises, etc.). We'll usually talk in more detail about it in the preceding class too, but this will be the page that lets you stay on top of the day-by-day work of the course. The second is the "assignments" link. This contains the parameters and deadlines for all of the graded assignments and also a way to submit them online (usually it will be more appropriate to put handwritten solutions in the envelope by my office door). These two will be updated regularly through the semester.
The "resources" link is also important. This has links to the course text and additional sources, some of which will be required (and you'll know this from the preparation page and/or class) and lots of which will be generally useful stuff to help you progress.
The "wiki" link is one we can all see and edit. This will probably be used for any group projects and linking to sources you want to bring to class discussion. The "roster" one tells you who is in the class (and what they looked like on their first day at Marlboro).
Finally, "grades" will let you know what your grades for the graded assignments are. Note that if you get the assignment to me via any other means than through this site your grade will be listed as "late" until I grade it even if it is in on time. Don't worry if you see this!
