Description	A continuation of MAT 131, this course covers: symbolic and numeric methods of integration; area under a curve; volume; applications, such as work and probability; improper integrals and l'Hospital's rule; complex numbers; sequences; series; Taylor series; differential equations; and modeling. May not be taken for credit in addition to MAT 127, MAT 142, MAT 171, or AMS 161.
Prerequisite	C or higher in AMS 151 or in MAT 131, or in MAT 141, or level 7 on the mathematics placement examination
Textbook	Calculus Volume 2, from OpenStax We will also use Notes on Second Order Linear Differential Equations.
WebAssign	Access to WebAssign is mandatory for this course.
Course Lectures	Video lectures will be posted each week and make up an essential component of this course. A link will be provided at the start of the semester, via Blackboard. You should interact with each lecture at your own pace, pausing where needed to answer questions along the way. Take notes if needed, just as you would for an in-person lecture. There will be 2-4 videos posted each week, and their total (un-paused) running-time will be approximately 160 minutes each week. Video completion and scores on your responses to questions within the video lecture will be included as part of your homework/classwork grade.
Course Recitations	Your required recitation meets twice weekly and is an essential component of the course. In the recitation you will spend more time working out detailed examples with your peers and with your instructor. Work completed in class may be collected and graded for credit, and regular quizzes will be given. Note: For on-line recitations, the link can be found in Blackboard. To help facilitate a positive learning experience for all, please adhere to the following practices for on-line, synchronous classes. Be mindful of your atire and background, and consider using a neutral virtual background while on camera. Please keep microphone OFF except when you are participating in a discussion. Please use the chat feature only for correspondence with the instructor or to contribute to the class discussion. Please ask permission before recording or taking a screenshot. You are expected to participate in the class discussion and activities in a thoughtful and professional manner, just as if we were in a face-to-face classroom. Please check audio and video before class begins. If you have questions or concerns about these requirements, please communicate with the course instructors.
Face Masks	Each student must wear a face mask for the entire duration of all in-person classes.
Homework/Classwork	Homework, assigned and graded regularly, is an essential component of the course. Homework is due at the posted date and time, and late homework will not be accepted. This applies to written homework submitted in-person as well as to assignments submitted electronically, and to any assignments completed and submitted during class. Students are expected to be present for class, and homework or classwork, (whether in recitation or lecture), may not be completed for credit. The lowest score in the homework/classwork category will be dropped. A significant part of doing mathematics is communicating mathematics. Homework is expected to be clear and grammatically correct, in addition to mathematically accurate. You are encouraged to work together, but submitted written assignments must be your own work and represent your own understanding. You should not search for, read, or submit any solutions or partial solutions obtained from the internet. If you need clarification on this policy, please ask.
Quizzes	Announced and/or unannounced quizzes will be given regularly during the recitation. Students are expected to be present for class, and missed quizzes may not be completed for credit. Students must use Zoom, with camera on, and Gradescope for on-line quizzes. The lowest score in the quiz category will be dropped. You should not search for, read, or submit any solutions or partial solutions obtained from the internet. If you need clarification on this policy, please ask.
Exams	There will be one midterm exam and a final exam. The midterm exam is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 9:45am - 11:05am, on-line. The final exam is scheduled by the University for Thursday, December 10, 2:15 pm-5:00 pm, on-line. Exams require students to use Gradescope and Zoom, and each student must use a webcam. No makeups exams will be given. In the rare case of a documented extenuating circumstance, the midterm exam grade may replaced by a final exam score.
Grading	Homework/Classwork: 20%, Announced and unannounced quizzes: 30%, Midterm: 20%, Final Exam: 30%.
Attendance	Participation in synchronous and asynchronous components of this course is essential to do well; you'll be practicing doing mathematics in lecture as well as during the recitation sections.
Technology Requirements	Since this course consists of a combination of synchronous and asynchronous instructional modalities, and in consideration of evolving University-wide responses to COVID-19, each student must be prepared to access course materials and to submit required assignments on-line. Access to a computer and a stable internet connection is required. Access to a scanner, which may be a simple app on a smartphone, is required. Access to a webcam for proctored quizzes and exams is required.
Calculator Use	Some homework problems may require the use of a calculator. A graphing calculator will not be necessary.

Announcements are posted below the course schedule. Most recent announcements at the top.

Student Accessibility Support Center Statement: If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact Student Accessibility Support Center, ECC (Educational Communications Center) Building, Room 128, (631)632-6748. They will determine with you what accommodations, if any, are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential. Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their professors and Student Accessibility Support Center. For procedures and information go to the following website: http://www.stonybrook.edu/ehs/fire/disabilities.

Academic Integrity Statement: Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty is required to report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. Faculty in the Health Sciences Center (School of Health Technology & Management, Nursing, Social Welfare, Dental Medicine) and School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific procedures. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/academic_integrity/index.html

Submitting solutions obtained from the internet is submitting someone else's work as your own; to do so is a violation of the policy on academic integrity.

If you have questions about this policy, please ask.

Critical Incident Management: Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of University Community Standards any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits students' ability to learn. Faculty in the HSC Schools and the School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific procedures. Further information about most academic matters can be found in the Undergraduate Bulletin, the Undergraduate Class Schedule, and the Faculty-Employee Handbook.

QPS certified course: To satisfy the QPS learning objective, students must pass a QPS certified course with a letter grade of C or higher.
