Math 283

I have old quizzes and final exams. If you really need them back soon email me.

Otherwise I will keep final exams for you to pick up in January



Exam and Quiz Schedules Homework  Handouts


 Grading: The course % is determined by:

   Midterm 1      M1           100 
   Midterm 2      M2           100
   Final          F            100
  Quizzes        Q            100
  _________________________________
                               400

         % = (M1+M2+F+HW)/4

The final is not comprehensive.
Six quizzes each worth 20 points
will be given. Your best 5 quiz
scores determine Q above.

Exam and quizz dates are indicated
on the schedule below. Their content
will be announced in class.

All exams and quizzes are closed
book and no electronic devices
are permitted. All exams will be
given in class.


Syllabus:
Material covered in text is from:

 Chapter 12 Vector Geometry
Chapter 13 Calculus of Vector Functions
Chapter 14 Parital Derivatives and Optimization
Chapter 15 Multiple Integrals
Chapter 16 Line and Surface Integrals
Chapter 17 Fundamental Theorems of Vector Analysis
 


Homework: Suggested homework is listed below.

Although the homework is not graded
it is representative of the kinds of
questions which will be on quizzes
and exams.

Some additional problem sets and/or
handouts may be handed out in class
and/or posted on this site.

Handouts:    
                                                  


  1. Here are some OLD review sheets I've given to similar classes that relate to Chapters 12-13Chapter 14 and Chapter 15-17. They include handwritten solution sets but were meant to accompany our previous text. Regardless, they may be of use to you.
  2. A summary sheet for Chapter 15-17 Integration Formulae 
  3. You can find examples of old exams and quizzes I've given here. These were written for previous M283 and M224 multivariate calculus courses. You'll note each file has a *.tex file. Mathematicians often have to use a typesetting program called latex to create the nicely typeset formulae in texts and papers. If you are interested you can look at the *.tex files used to create those exams (what I have to edit to make your tests ----ugh)
