The final exam for this course will be a group exam. The final exam will be given on Thursday, December 16 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Your instructor will tell you the location of your final exam (which may not be the same as the location where you have the lectures).


This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in calculus (Math 135-136). It is intended for students who are unlikely to take any math after this sequence. It is suitable for students who plan to major in biology (but not biochemistry!), pharmacy, or business, or who just want to take a little more math and investigate one of the major intellectual achievements of humanity.

Students who think they might major in mathematics, physics, biochemistry, chemistry, engineering, or those who think they might want to take almost any mathematics course at the 200 level or higher should take Math 151 rather than Math 135.

Textbook: The text for 135 is a customized version of the third edition of Calculus, by Strauss, Bradley and Smith (Pearson Prentice Hall). This is a custom text and is available only at Rutgers bookstores. Students who intend or even think that they might take Math 136, the second semester follow-up to Math 135, should definitely buy this text. Students taking only 135 can use the standard version of the text, as long as it is the third edition. However, they should find that the customized version is competitively priced and includes a free solutions manual and study guide.

You are expected to read the book IN DETAIL, preferably prior to attending the lecture on the topic; lectures will not cover all the material you are expected to know, and if you try to read it first, you will come prepared with questions.

Calculators: A graphing calculator is required for this course. You may use a graphing calculator during the final exam. However, you may not use calculators with QWERTY keypads or symbolic manipulation capabilities. In particular, the TI-89, the TI-89 Titanium, the TI-92 and the Voyage 200 will not be allowed on any exam.

Syllabus

This semester all sections of math 135 will have a significant portion of their homework and grade given via the computerized system WeBWorK. Your lecturer will tell you how much of your grade will be based upon WeBWorK.

  • Homework Problems.
  • Note: Just as one cannot develop muscles or endurance by watching sports, one cannot learn mathematics by watching lectures only. Doing all the homework is the only reliable way to learn mathematics. If you find it difficult, do MORE problems!

    There is another calculus sequence called 151-152. Math 151 and 152 are for students who intend to major in mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, chemistry or engineering. If you wish to major in one of these fields then you must take Math 151, 152 instead of Math 135, 136. Sometimes, a student decides to take Math 152 after taking math 135. This is possible but difficult. See the following link: Info for students interested in mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, biochemistry, chemistry or engineering
