The world in which we live today could not exist without the
explosion in mathematical knowledge that occurred since the
Renaissance. Not only does mathematics make modern technology
possible, but mathematical ideas have profoundly changed our views
of the structure of the world itself. The ideas which today are
grouped under the heading of Calculus lie at the center of this
transformation; although some of them can be traced back to
Archimedes, the subject is usually considered to have been developed
by Newton and Leibnitz in the 17th century, and its success in
solving problems such as planetary motion led to the modern idea of
the universe as a complex, but predictable, machine...

Exams will be in class. There will be no notes or books allowed
during the exams. Furthermore, calculators are not allowed or
required on any exam. Outside of exams, I encourage you to use
mathematics software and graphing calculators to improve your
intuition.
There will be No Make-Up Exams, except in severe situations
such as illness. Students will be allowed to complete examinations
or other requirements that are missed because of a religious
observance.
Homework will be assigned throughout the
course, but will not be graded. The homework problems will be
