This course is an introduction to single variable calculus for students who have not taken calculus before. Students who have seen some calculus, but not enough to place out of Math 3, should take Math 3. Math 1 reviews relevant techniques from algebra and pre-calculus, covers the manipulation and analysis of functions, including polynomial, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions, an introduction to convergence and limits, continuity, rates of change and derivatives, differentiation rules, and applications to approximation. Students wishing to continue their study of calculus after Math 1 take Math 3.

The course grade will be based upon the scores on the homework, quizzes, midterm exams, and the final exam as follows:

| Quizzes | 15% |
| Midterm Exam 1 | 18% |
| Midterm Exam 2 | 18% |
| Final Exam | 24% |
If you have a conflict with one of the midterm exams because of a religious observance, scheduled extracurricular activity such as a game or performance [not practice], scheduled laboratory for another course, or similar commitment, please see your instructor as soon as possible. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to submit all homework on time, and to arrange to get notes from a classmate.
Academic integrity is at the core of our mission as mathematicians and educators, and we take it very seriously. We also believe in working and learning together.
Collaboration on homework is permitted and encouraged, but obviously it is a violation of the honor code for someone to provide the answers for you.
On written homework, you are encouraged to work together, and you may get help from others, but you must write up the answers yourself. If you are part of a group of students that produces an answer to a problem, you cannot then copy that group answer. You must write up the answer individually, in your own words.
On exams, you may not give or receive help from anyone. Exams in this course are closed book, and no notes, calculators or other electronic devices are permitted.

The TA for this course is Kameron McCombs. Tutorial assistance for this course and help with your homework will be available on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9pm in Room 120.
Students with disabilities who may need disability-related academic adjustments and services for this course are encouraged to see their professor privately as early in the term as possible. Students requiring disability-related academic adjustments and services must consult the Student Accessibility Services office (Carson Hall, Suite 125, 646-9900). Once SAS has authorized services, students must show the originally signed SAS Services and Consent Form and/or a letter on SAS letterhead to their professor. As a first step, if students have questions about whether they qualify to receive academic adjustments and services, they should contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions will remain confidential.
The academic environment at Dartmouth is challenging, our terms are intensive, and classes are not the only demanding part of your life. There are a number of resources available to you on campus to support your wellness, including your undergraduate dean, Counseling and Human Development, and the Student Wellness Center.
Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that occur during this academic term. If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with me before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations.
