This is the second in a sequence of three calculus courses for science and engineering students. The goal is to prepare you to make use of calculus as a practical problem-solving tool.
This program provides students with discounted access to the digital version of the textbook, but only the textbook itself will be required. If you already have a copy of the textbook or would prefer to purchase it from a different source (for example, you may be able to find a used copy of the first or second edition at a lower cost), then you should opt out of Inclusive Access. You can opt out by clicking the “VitalSource Course Materials” link in your course on Canvas. If you do not opt out of Inclusive Access, you can access the digital textbook through a link provided by your instructor in Canvas.
Your course grade will be determined as follows:
Suggested grading scale: A/A± 90–100%, B/B± 80–90%, C/C± 70–80%, D/D± 60–70%, F < 60%.
Some sections may deviate slightly from this scale; any changes will be announced by your instructor.

Locations will be announced by the registrar and posted on PeopleSoft. All students must take the final exam at the scheduled time.
One session each week will meet in the Scientific Computing Lab in Posvar Hall (WWPH 1200A). This session may be used to work on graded online homework found on the LON-CAPA system or other problem sets.
You may not complete all work during the scheduled lab sessions and are expected to finish remaining work independently outside of class.
Read LON-CAPA Instructions for Students for instruction on logging in, formatting answers, and completing assignments.
If you are not on Pittnet, Pitt IT requires connection via GlobalProtect .
Your TAs will review this information during the first lab meeting.
In addition to weekly lab meetings, students will meet once per week with a TA to review material and solve practice problems. Quizzes may be administered during recitation.
Practice problems listed in the course schedule are not collected or graded, but exam and quiz problems will often be modeled on them.
Students are expected to maintain access to their Pitt computer account and to regularly check Pitt email and Canvas for course announcements and materials.
The Math Assistance Center (MAC) offers free tutoring by appointment, including same-day appointments. Appointments can be made within Pathways.
Instructors and TAs will announce their office hours at the beginning of the semester.
Students requesting accommodations should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) as early as possible.
Students must comply with the University of Pittsburgh’s Policy on Academic Integrity and the Dietrich School’s Academic Integrity Code.
