TA:  Polizzi, Anthony


Text:  James Stewart. Calculus, early transcendentals, 6th Edition.

 

Objectives: The course covers Chapters 12-16: vector analysis, space curves, functions of several variables, line integrals and
surface
integrals. Theories as well as their applications will be addressed.

 

Outcomes:   The student is expected to (i) understand the concepts of vectors, partial derivatives, line and surface integrals; (ii) have geometric and physical intuition of these; (iii) be skillful in calculating these; (iv) be able to apply the mathematics to solve physical problems.

 

Calculators: TI-84 plus  graphics calculators;  other acceptable calculators: TI-82, 83 plus, 85, 86.    Calculators with symbolic manipulation capabilities are NOT acceptable.

 

Course Grade

The semester letter grade will be given based on your performance in three tests (45%), the final exam(40%), quizzes (15 %). It is the policy that missing the final exam  automatically results in an "F" grade for the course.

 

Tests and Quizzes

There will be three (3) tests during the semester. Quizzes will be given weekly in Lab class( except in test weeks). There will be no make-up quizzes and generally no make-up tests. However, in some extreme cases, if you are forced to miss the test, you must notify me within three (3) days of the date of the test, preferably before the test is given. For the Final Exam, you must notify me before or on the date of the exam. An excuse from your doctor or other appropriate authorities must be presented at that time.

The tests will be held tentatively on

Homework

Homework will not be collected. However, some homework problems, with or without slight modifications, will appear in quizzes and tests. (So will the examples that I work on in my lectures.) Thus it is absolutely imperative to work on each of the problems assigned below, preferably in group discussions.
