 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.

Handouts:    
                                                  Under Construction


  1. Review questions and solutions for Chapters 12-13
  2. Review questions and solutions for Chapter 14
  3. Summary of integration formulae 
  4. 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).
