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
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.

Some Review
problems - old but good |
|
|
Some old multivariate exams |
|
Final Exam Solution Set |
|

Handouts:
- Here are some OLD review sheets I've
given to similar classes that relate to Chapters
12-13, Chapter 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.
- A summary sheet for Chapter 15-17 Integration Formulae
- 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)
