Text
Calculus with Analytic Geometry by R. Ellis and D. Gulick (Fifth Edition). The syllabus of Math 241 consists of the core material in Chapters 11-15.

Prerequisites
Math 141 and any one of the following: Math 240 or Enes 102 or Phys 171

Tests and Quizzes
There will be a quiz given at least once a week, except possibly in exam weeks. All quizzes will be unannounced. There are no planned make-ups for quizzes. There will be 12 (or more) quizzes during the term and the 10 highest scoring quizzes will count towards your grade. So missing a quiz or scoring low on a quiz does not hurt you. During the course there will be four 50-min tests (written in class) with 100 points for each test but the lowest score is halved. No make-up tests will be given. If you have to miss a test and you have a written excuse according to the University Policies, then you will be given 50% extra credit on the final.
The University of Maryland has implemented a new Honor Pledge.

Homework
Homework problems will be assigned throughout the course. The homework is due the second class day after the assignment has been made. If we have a grader, then homework will be collected once a week and graded. All homework assignments count towards the final grade. No late homework will be accepted.

Tutoring
The Mathematics Department offers drop-in tutoring in Room 0301 of the Math Building. Note the many hours on the Drop-In Tutoring Schedule at which Math 241 TAs are available this semester
Usually, it is better for you to make use of the many free opportunities for help, rather than pay someone not currently affiliated with the course (individual tutors are expensive). However, in some cases an individual might benefit from an individual tutor, and there is also a list of qualified tutors-for-pay kept in the Department of Mathematics at the Undergraduate Office. Other tutors are free lance; some are fine and some are terrible -- be careful. In particular, be wary of any tutoring service which guarantees improved scores. No tutor can guarantee your scores.

Grading
Four 50-min tests:   350 points
Homework/quizzes:   200 points (50% homework if we have a grader)
