TEXT: Multivariable Calculus, 3rd edition by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al. COURSE CONTENT:(by catalog) Algebra of vectors in a plane and in space; the calculus of vectors; vector functions; basic concepts of multivariable calculus; partial derivatives; multiple integrals. Oered in Fall and Spring. One semester, three credits. Prerequisite: MATH 231. CALCULATOR: You must use a graphing calculator, preferably a TI-89, on assignments and occasionally on tests. We will also use Maple on some occaisons. HOMEWORK: A list of suggested homework problems will be given for each section covered. I do expect that you will attempt all homework problems. I will grade some, though not all, of these problems. We will spend some class time in groups working on these problems. Homework will account for 7% of your nal grade. (50 pts) QUIZZES: There will be quizzes every week. These quizzes will be very short (approx. 10-15 min.) and will come almost directly from the homework. Each quiz will be worth points 10 and I will count 10 of them. Since I plan to give many of these quizzes (at least 12) I will drop the extra ones. This does mean that quizzes cannot be made up. Quizzes will count for 14% of your nal grade. (100 pts) TESTS: There will be three in-class exams, each exam worth 100 points, and a comprehensive nal exam worth 150 points. I will not curve your test grades. If you miss a test for any reason, you need to notify me no later than the day after the test to set up a time for a make-up. PROJECTS: I strongly encourage students to work together when studying mathematics (except on exams!) and to further this goal there will be several group projects during the course of the semester. These projects w...
