Please Note: The course outline is intended only as a guide to course content and resources. Do not purchase textbooks based on this outline. The RVCC Bookstore is the sole resource for the most up-to-date information about textbooks.
XI. Resources
This course is held in a computer lab for two hours a week. The computers need to be installed with the math software currently licensed to the math department. Contact the math department to determine which software to install.
XII. Honors Option
Definition
Students pursuing the Honors Option in Calculus II will be required to demonstrate a higher level of knowledge and skill in the theory, techniques, and applications of integration, as well as in polar coordinates conic sections and Infinite Series. In addition to learning how to apply integration to many problems in geometry and physics they are required to derive the formulas they use, generalize results and construct some proofs in infinite series. They are also required to solve advanced and challenging application problems.
A. Educational Goals and Learning Outcomes
In addition to the education goals and learning outcomes in Roman numeral VI. A and B listed above, students should be able to:
B. Honors Option Content
Students, who participate in the Calculus II Honors Option, must complete three additional assignments. For the third assignment the student is given a choice to select one of three mathematical activities described in item 3 below.
a. Investigate and solve two assigned advanced problems.
b. Write a report on a project that begins with a problem, state the theoretical foundation of the problem and its solution and apply calculus II tools such as techniques of integration, or infinite series to solve the problem
c. Submit a poster on a topic or an application problem in Calculus II and present it at the Mathematical Association of America Spring or Fall Student Poster Session.
C. Assessment Instruments for Honors Option Work
Honors Option students will be assessed for their ability to deliver the additional required assignments. In particular they must:
D. Grade Determinants for Honors Option Work
In addition to quizzes, labs, tests and final exam, the final grade for students in the Honors Option will be based upon students completing the three additional assignments described above.
E. Extra Resource Materials for the Honors Option
In addition to the suggested textbook above, students may need to use:
a. Computer lab with Maple software b. Selected articles appropriate to the Calculus II level from the College Mathematics Journal, a publication of the Mathematical Association of America
