Reading
In this class we use the book
  • J. Hass, M. Weir, G. Thomas University Calculus, alternate edition Pearson-Addison-Wesley
    We cover the material from Chapters 10,11,12, and 13 from the book.
    The book is really unavoidable, and cannot be replaced with another calculus textbook!
    Course Objective
    To learn basic concepts, techniques and applications pertaining to vector-valued functions and differentiation in several variables.
    Prerequisites
    A grade of C or higher in Math 242 or 252A
    Grading Policy
    The course contains a combination of concepts, ideas and techniques. To understand the material means to be able to apply it in solving problems. At the end of the day, your grade will reflect your ability to solve specific calculus problems. More specifically, the following rules are to be taken.



  • Final exam will take place on Tuesday, December 11, from 12:00 noon to 2:00pm at Keller, 303 and will count for 40% of the final grade. The exam is cumulative (it covers all the material). There will be no make-ups for the final.

  • Mid-term test, which covers the material of Chapters 10,11,12, and counts for 30% of the final grade.

  • Quizzes will be given almost weekly, and the average grade for the quizzes counts for 30% of the final grade.
