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. With the exception of the Final, all exams will be given in class. Final - TBA.

FINAL EXAM: Thursday, Dec 17, 4:00-5:50pm (Wilson 1-144)

Handouts:
- Summary of grading and homework policy, anticipated schedule and HW problems
- Review questions and solutions for Chapters 12-13
- Review questions and solutions for Chapter 14
- Summary of integration formulae
- Review questions for Chapter 15-16
Examples of exams and quizzes for the non-honors Multivariate Calculus course (M224) I have taught in past years can be found here. You will note both *.pdf and *.tex files. Mathematicians often use a typsetting 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 for instance).
