Prerequisite: A grade of ‘C’ or better in MAT 220 Calculus I or the equivalent.

Course Competencies:

1.	Evaluate indefinite, definite and improper integrals using various algebraic, trigonometric and numerical techniques.
2.	Solve applied problems taken from the sciences using integration.
3.	Analyze curves in the plane described using parametric and polar equations.
4.	Define, classify, and analyze conic sections.
5.	Determine the convergence or divergence of sequences, series of constants, and power series.
6.	Compute polynomial approximation and power series representation of elementary functions using derivatives and integrals.
7.	Compare alternate solution strategies, including technology.
8.	Communicate process and results in written and verbal formats.
9.	Justify and interpret solutions to application problems.

Homework: Homework problems will be assigned for each section we cover. You are expected to complete each problem by the given due date. There will be homework quizzes given each class which will be taken directly from the homework. You will be allowed to use your homework to complete the quiz so it is to your benefit to have the problems completed on time.

Computer Labs: There will be computer lab assignments. Students will be expected to complete all lab assignments. These labs will be graded. Labs are to be printed out showing all relevant code and turned in on time. No late labs will be accepted.

Gateway Exam: In order to pass Calculus II, students must successfully complete the Gateway Competency Exam. Students receive 3 attempts to pass this exam. The first will be giving in class on 10/14/09 Subsequent attempts (if needed) will be taken in the testing center on dates to be determined.

Computer Software: The primary computer resource will be the computer algebra system Maple. SCC has MAPLE at several of its computing sites as well as myscc. Details can be found on my website.

Graphing Calculator:  A graphing calculator is required for this course.  The suggested calculators include the TI-83 or TI-83 plus and the Casio CFX-9850GB plus.  NOTE:  Calculators with QWERTY keyboards or those which do symbolic algebra such at the TI-92s ,TI-89s, Casio FX2 or 9970G's cannot be used in class or during an exam. You are responsible for knowing how your calculator works!
