PhD Candidate in the Mathematics Department at Virginia Tech
Course Goals: Our objectives in this class
include understanding antiderivatives, definite integrals, the Fundamental
Theorem of Calc and elementary differential equations. The basic goal is to
enable you to apply calculus methods to problems that may come up in your other
courses and, eventually, in your field of specialization. Dates
and assignments are subject to change, so check this page often.

This section fully
explains how the Honor Code of Virginia Tech applies to this course. If you
have questions about this document or how the Honor Code applies, see me. My
intentions are to make these guidelines clear for your protection, and to
prevent misunderstandings.
The constitution of
the Undergraduate Honor System
explains your rights and responsibilities. All work that you submit for a grade
while at Virginia Tech is bound by this constitution, regardless of whether or
not it is pledged. The Honor Pledge is, “I have neither given nor received
unauthorized assistance on this assignment.” The forms of authorized assistance
are completely stated below; any other types of assistance are unauthorized.
You must be registered
for this course in order to receive a grade for it. I have no control over the
registration process, but can answer questions.
I really do want to
make it possible for you to succeed. You are encouraged to bring to my
attention any reasonable need or accommodation (including disability
accommodations and religious holidays) that will help you.
