Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the MAEN 507- Calculus with Applications
Online
I will be your instructor to guide and help you learn basic
ideas in contemporary mathematics with emphasis on the applications to
real-world problems. The main course objective is
to introduce the student to some of the ideas of contemporary mathematics with
emphasis on applications.
The course consists of a series of weekly lessons organized
according to the textbook. After you read each
lesson you should attempt to do the problems assigned at the end of each lesson
to make sure that you understand the material. Some of the assignments may be
easy, others a bit frustrating. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have
any problems.
It is assumed that you are knowledgeable with
 | Internet surfing, |
| E-mail (sending and receiving attachments), |
| Plug-ins (installing and using them when necessary), |
| Inserting files (pictures, tables, etc) into a document; |
and that you have access to
| The minimum computer equipment required at all times (as described in http://www.wpunj.edu/cedl/dl/techreq.htm), |
| A unique e-mail account that you will use during the course, |
| Microsoft Word (or any compatible word processor). |
Therefore, there will be no orientation for this course and we will not meet
in person at any time during the course.
I will not accept
| Any printed submissions |
| Late homework |
| Technical excuses, such as "my computer froze", "I could
not access the website", "I did not received the e-mail" and
so on) for not doing or submitting your work on time. |
If you do not have the necessary equipment and computer skills to take this
course, please drop the course and take it at a later time.
Please read carefully the requirement,
assignment and grade
pages. In particular, pay attention to the timelines
and deadlines. It helps if you
follow them carefully.
Weekly assignments have deadlines. Once the deadline is passed you will not be
able to submit your work. Failing to submit any four (4) homework assignments
gives you an automatic F for the course!
We will communicate in two ways:
1. Listserv:
The listserv is the best way to send a message to the entire class. The address
for the listserv is spring2002-maen507-80@LIST.wpunj.edu
Remember that any message sent to the listserv will be read by the entire group.
If you are replying to an individual, use their personal email instead. Remember
that using the reply option to answer a message from the listserv will send your
message to everyone in the class.
2. Personal E-mail: It should be used
when you send your questions and/or files to me or if you want to communicate
privately with your classmates.
The course web site is http://euphrates.wpunj.edu/courses/maen507/
To access the site, you will need a log in name and a password.

One of the pages of the web site is called Announcements.
Please visit this page every time you log on since I will place there any
current important information about the course.
I look forward to working with you and I hope that you have a
productive and valuable experience.
