Information for Students**

2000-2001

Text: Applied Calculus with Linear Programming a Special Edition by Barnett & Ziegler, Pearson Custom Publishing. This book is also used for Business Calculus II.

Optional: Student Solutions Manual, solutions to selected odd problems.

Calculator: Students need either a scientific or business calculator. If you cannot purchase one, they are available from the library. Graphing calculators are fine, but their use may be restricted on the graphing test.

Course Prerequisite: College Algebra (MATH 1314) or Mathematics for Business and Economics (MATH 1324). College Algebra is the preferred prerequisite for students who will also take the second half of the sequence, MATH 1426.

Course Syllabus/Calendar/Suggested Testing Schedule: Applications (especially those from business and economics) will be emphasized throughout the course. Instructors may introduce supplemental materials as needed to enhance and clarify topics covered in the text.

Testing, Grading, and Homework: One possible testing scheme is described on this page. Your instructor may use a different scheme. Your instructor will give you an additional handout with details on his/her testing, grading, and homework policies.

Withdrawals and Incompletes: After the withdrawal date each semester, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. Regular attendance is expected in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences (more than 4) or who fail to meet course objectives, but makes no commitment to do this for the student.

Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I, a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and have a personal tragedy after the last date to withdraw which prevents course completion.

p. 8, example 5, middle of the page, the third limit should read , instead of = 1.

p.8, same example, bottom of the page, should read f(1)= 5 instead of f(-1)=5.

p.88, In the blue box, the marginal average cost and the marginal average revenue should have bars over the C and R. The marginal average profit is ok.

p. 88, in the green box, there should be bars over the C's in the Marginal Average Cost Equation and there should be bars over the R's in the Marginal Average Revenue Equation.

page 112, the first derivative test graphic: The second sentence should read "Construct a sign chart for f'(x) .".

p. 133, #43, change the -4x^3 term to +4x^3 if you'd like the answer in the back and the solution in the Student Solutions Manual to be correspond correctly, f(x) = -x⁴ + 4x³+ 3x + 7 instead of f(x) = -x⁴ - 4x³+ 3x + 7

p 172, example 20 part (B). Find... instead of .

p.173, near the middle of the page it says, " times y = f(x +x) - f(x)." Huh? It should say simply "."

p. 243 Step 2 in Solution In denominator at end of line, should be not

p. 246, Example 31, the numerator should be .

page 342, Problem 67.the exponent on "e" should be -0.1 not -.01 the answer key has problem worked with exponent -0.1

page 357, Example 2, the shading in the graph (green) should include the sliver on the lower left.

page 373, five lines below Problem 10, the word "equilibrium" is misspelled in text

Page 497 #10 Chapter Six Review: The answer in the back of the book assumes a FOURTH point which is not given in the problem, namely, (8,3) .

page 538 example 13, third line of equations

exponent on e should be "0.08" , not "0.008", you will note exponent is correct everywhere else in the problem

There are a number of errors in Chapter 8, Sections 1 and 2, on Taylor polynomials and series, one bad one in the green box on p. 581 (should be an "a" not a "0" in derivative. Also on p. 594, the Problem 6 title is one line too high, which is confusing. And the calculations in the third line of Example 7, p. 595, are all messed up.

page 736, green box, line with integral, should be F(x) where the type is blotched

page 743, x 0, not 5 in problem 47.

page 756. On the top of the page, in a green box entitled "Uniform Probability Density Function" under the heading "cumulative probability distribution" it reads F(x) = 0 if x<b. It should read F(x) = 0 if x<a.

p 847, tableau at very top of page the third row should begin with basic variable not with [a pivot has already taken place from the first tableau on the previous page and the basic variable has to change; it is correct in the third tableau on the top of page 847

Pg 850, Exercise 21, Second constraint equation (one with "less than 3"), First variable should be "x-sub-two".

p. 922, 15. Solution is y' = 3x^2y/(1+y)

p. 923, 1(A) Delete "finger" at end of line (Who knows where that came from???)
