Math 1C

CALCULUS -- 3rd quarter
Prerequisite: Math 1B with a grade of C or better, or equivalent placement

Text: JAMES STEWART: Calculus Early Transcendentals SIXTH edition

(Note that we are NOT using 7th edition)

Graphing calculator required: TI- 83+, 84+ are the recommended models.
I will generally be demonstrating with a TI-83 or 84 in class.
TI-89 or any other calculator that can do symbolic mathematics, has a computer algebra systems or can graph in 3D will NOT be allowed on any exams or quizzes in this class. If you have a TI-89 or similar calculator, it will be wonderful for homework and learning but out of fairness to all students, you can not use it for exams or quizzes.
TI-83, 84, 86 calculators are available on loan from the library for several hours or several days at a time. There is a limited supply.

Syllabus http://nebula.deanza.edu/~bloom/math1c/m1c_Syllabus.pdf
Includes tentative schedule on last page.

This course will use a website in CATALYST at
https://catalyst.deanza.edu

Catalyst is De Anza College's course management system. Enrolled students will be able to log in to the course website as of the beginning of spring quarter:

Interactive Graphing Applets: be patient - it takes a minute for the Java code to load
Applet to trace out a cycloid: http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/calc/cycloid/cycloid.html

Applet to graph polar curves http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/calc/sg_kyok/sg_kyok.html

When using integrals with parametric curves, some of the area, arclength and surface area problems have integals requiring numerical integration or have integrals for which you can find the antiderivatives but with a good amount of careful work. You can use the definite integrals to get/check your numerical answers or you can use the indefinite intregral calculator online to check your antiderivatives. remember that on a test you will not have these resources available, so use them as an aid to checking and understanding, not as a substitute for learning. I have NOT tested these sites; they may be of varying levels of helpfulness, usefulness, user-friendliness, or accuracy.

Graphing Sequences and Series on TI-86 Calculator as a list or using parametric plots, by R. Bloom
Graphing Sequences and Series on the TI86 Calculator using lists and scatterplots
Graphing Sequences and Series 2 on the TI86 Calculator using parametric graphing

For graphing on a TI-83 or TI-89
The TI-83 and TI-89 support a sequence graphing mode that is not available on the TI-86.
You can use the sequence graphing mode to graph a sequence or partial sums of a series.
You can also adapt the methods posted above for the TI-86; the TI-83 and TI-89 have all
the same functionalities of the TI-86 that is used in those two sets of instructions.
Your keystrokes will be different in order to find those settings or functions;
if you can't locate a function or setting, look in the Catalog.
Note that the TI-83 and TI-89 do not support custom menus that can be set up in the TI-86.

Optional: Proof by contradiction that e is irrational
http://mathforum.org/isaac/problems/eproof.html
This is an indirect proof that relies on the series expansion of e.
If you have taken Math 22 (Discrete Math), you have proved that the square root of 2 is irrational, using a proof by contradiction.
You now have the tools to prove that e is irrational.
