- The main text for the course is Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, 1st edition, Cengage, 2011. Please immediately issue a copy from the Library. You will be required to bring this book to each class.
- There will be three lectures and two tutorials every week.
- There will be fortnightly assignments. Part A of each assignment will be discussed in tutorials, and students will be allotted problems for presentation. Part B is meant for written submission. The problems will mainly be assigned from the exercises in Stewart.
- It is expected that about 10 assignments will be distributed during the course. You will then be allowed to drop your worst two assignment marks.
- No late submissions will be accepted. The only leeway for taking care of special circumstances is provided by the above-mentioned dropping of your worst two assignment marks.
- Attendance will be taken in each class. Be aware that SNU requires a minimum of 70% attendance separately in lectures and tutorials. No further waiver is given beyond this 30%, even for illness.
