This text is free and covers about as much as the Stewart book.
Course Website: http://course1.winona.edu/eerrthum/math213
Prerequisite: Calculus I (MATH212) or a qualifying score on the mathematics placement exam
About This Course: This course continues to build on the ideas introduced in Calculus I. Specifically this course covers the techniques and applications of integration, calculus with polar coordinates and parametric equations, and functions in power series form.
Expectations: Students who complete this course with a passing grade are expected to be able to demonstrate the following skills: (i) Mastery of prerequisite material, (ii) Evaluate integrals using a variety of techniques, (iii) Set-up/apply integration in the appropriate manner, (iv) Compute within various coordinate systems and geometric set-ups, (v) Determine the behavior of sequences and series, (vi) Construct and use functions as power series.

Homework: Homework will be assigned daily and will be due at 11:00am on the day of the quiz that covers that material. All homework is to be submitted via the WeBWorK website located here: http://wsumath.org/webwork2/Math_213_Calculus_II_Errthum_02_S2020/. (Many institutions use WeBWorK; make sure you are accessing the one at Winona State.) Your username is your Star ID and your initial password is your 8-digit student ID number. (For example, login: xf3912pu, password: 00123456). You are strongly encouraged to change your password at your first login. Even though all the homework is submitted online, you should work out the problems in a separate notebook. Some good tips for doing online homework can be found below. If you have any problems logging in or doing any of the homework assignments, please contact the instructor.
Quizzes: We will have a short (approx. 15-minute) quiz periodically (about once a week, see schedule below). Each quiz will count for 15 points and the lowest quiz will be dropped from your grade. Quiz problems will be loosely based on lectures and the homework.
Exams: There will be four in-class exams and one comprehensive final exam. Exam dates are tentative until officially announced in class. The final exam is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 8:00am – 10:00am.
Late/Missed Work: Late homework or missed quizzes will result in a score of zero. Make-up quizzes and make-up exams before the time of the normal quiz or exam will be given at the discretion of the instructor. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes and assignments from fellow students. If you have an unavoidable absence, please inform the instructor beforehand.
Desire2Learn: Some course materials can be found on D2L including approximate grades. If at any point during the semester you would like to know your exact grade, please email the instructor.
Technology: No calculators will be allowed on any quiz or exam until after Exam I and then only when specifically mentioned. Calculators and other computational software might be helpful for some homework problems. Some of the in-class demonstrations require Mathematica, which is available on the WSU laptops. If you’d like to view them on your own laptop and need help installing Mathematica, see either the instructor or tech support.
Resources: Tutoring Services is located in the library and provides free one-on-one tutoring. See www.winona.edu/tutoring for more info. Of course, you can also come see the instructor during office hours or by appointment.
Academic Dishonesty: Any type of academic dishonesty (cheating, copying, etc.) will result in failure and will be reported to school authorities. This includes access to past quizzes, exams, etc. that has not been handed out to the whole class. If you are having trouble with the course, please see the instructor first.
Note: This syllabus is subject to change if deemed necessary by the instructor.
