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 Vector Functions Chapter 14 Parital Derivatives Chapter 15 Multiple Integrals Chapter 16 Vector Calculus
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 will be handed out in class and/or posted on this site.

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).
