Math 243, Fall 2002

Syllabus & Homework


On this page you will find a short syllabus for Math 243 indicating the topics and sections of the text we will cover. You should check this page frequently to obtain your homework assignments.

Note on Homework

The information on this page is relevant only for the section of Math 243 taught by Prof. Guentner.

If you are in another section you may still find the page useful although precise dates and homework assignments differ somewhat for the other section of Math 243..


Course Syllabus

The course is a continuation of Math 242. The topics is differential calculus of two and three variables. This means that we will be covering most of Chapters 13, 14 and 15 of the textbook (although we will begin in Chapter 11 which you may view as a bridge between the single variable calculus of Math 242 and Chapter 13).

The pace seems a bit leisurely and I do not forsee having to rush to complete the material in the allotted time.
