Brief Course Description

This is the third term of the "first-year calculus" sequence, and is concerned with the calculus of functions of several variables. It is a fast-paced course, and we will cover all of the material in a standard Calculus III course (chapters 13-17 of the text). Students are strongly advised to follow the lectures carefully and not fall behind.

Grading

There are weekly assignments assigned during the lectures (20%), three midterms (the best two count for 30% each), and a comprehensive final exam (20%). The midterm exams are not comprehensive. The grading curve follows. Further refinements to the grade (e.g., A-, B+, etc.) are made in accord with the fine details of the student's individual performance.

Exams

The highest two midterm scores, out of the three, make up 60% of the student's grade in the course. The lowest midterm score is dropped. There are no make-up tests in this course, and the midterms are not comprehesive. The final exam is comprehensive, and makes up for 20% of the student's final grade.

Homework (web link)

Homework is assigned during the lectures, and has assigned due dates. The lowest two homework scores are dropped, and the remaining scores make up 20% of the student's final grade in this course. The only way to keep up with the pace of this course is to solve, at the very least, the assigned homework problems in a timely fashion. Late homework is not accepted.
