Topical outline: limits, continuity, rules for differentiation, applications of derivatives, such as related rates problems, optimization problems, and sketching the graph of a function;anti-derivatives and indefinite integral; limit definition of the integral; the fundamental theorem of calculus and definite integrals; integration by substitution; Applications of the integral such as areas between curves; volumes of surfaces of revolution; arc length; Numerical integration; Newton's method.
Student Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete Math 2110 will be able to:
1. Calculate limits graphically, numerically, and algebraically.
2. Understand and apply the definition of continuity.
3. Calculate the derivative of a function using the definition and the various rules of differentiation.
4. Solve related rates problems and minimization/maximization problems.
5. Understand the intermediate value theorem and the mean value theorem.
6. Use the derivative to sketch the graph of a function.
7. Compute basic antiderivatives.
8. Understand the definition of the integral of a function.
9. Compute definite and indefinite integrals of basic functions.
10. Use the method of substitution to calculate integrals.
11. Compute the area between two curves and the volume of a solid of revolution.
12. Compute the arc length of a curve.
ADA statement: Reasonable accommodation will be provided to any student who is registered with the Office of Students with Disabilities and requests needed accommodation.
Academic honesty statement: Students are expected to do their own work. Copying the work of others, cheating on exams, and similar violations will be reported to the University Discipline Officer, who has the authority to take disciplinary actions against students who violate the standards of academic honesty.
Student responsibilities: Students are responsible for being aware of all announcements that are made in class, such as changes in exam dates, due dates of homework and papers, and cancellation of class due to instructor’s absence. Students are responsible for announcements made on days that they are absent.
Students must check their CSULA email account regularly for information from the instructor and the Department. Failure to do so may result in missed deadlines or other consequences that might adversely affect students. Note that you can forward this email account to any other account of your choosing.
Requirements: Materials- Students should bring a math notebook (with graph paper), pencils, a Scientific calculator. You must enroll in the workshop that corresponds to this course.
Scientific Calculator: You MUST have a scientific calculator with you, in class, every day, including exam days. The solutions to some problems require their use!

Important Notes
- It is your responsibility to drop the course for any reason. Do not expect me to drop you if you stop attending class.
- Failure to take the Final Exam will result a grade of F in the course.
- Each student is expected to contribute to each class session by arriving on time, being attentive, and participating in the class discussions. Disruptive conversations, eating and sleeping are not acceptable behavior in the classroom environment.
- Students are expected to stay the whole class period. Please avoid disrupting your classmates by arriving late or leaving early.
- No cellular phones, text messengers, etc.
- Cellular phones cannot be used as calculators.
- The use of a scientific or graphing calculator is allowed for homework and exams.
- Cheating during any exam will result in severe consequences such as receiving a failing grade or being dropped from the course as well as being reported as academically dishonest. All phones and notes must be out of reach during exams.
- My job is to teach you the material to the best of my ability, answer your questions, and administer the course. Your job is to take complete notes, turn in class assignments on time, follow instructions, and study.
- Adult content is used in this college course. Anything on this syllabus may be changed, so please pay attention to any announcements made in class.
