Syllabus

Topics. Multivariable calculus: differential and integral calculus of functions of two or three variables; vectors and curves in space, partial derivatives, multiple integrals and vector calculus through Green's Theorem. Graphing calculator required. Appropriate computer software will also be introduced.

Prerequisites. Math 132, or a score of 4 or better on the Advanced Placement Calculus Exam (BC version).

Time. Classes meet Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays:

• Section 1: 9:00 am to 10:00 am in Cupples I, room 115
• Section 2: 10:00 am to 11:00 am in McDonnell Hall, room 362
• Section 3: 11:00 am to 12:00 noon in Cupples I, room 115
• Section 4: 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm in Busch Hall, Room 100

Text. The lectures will follow Calculus: Concepts and Contexts (Third Edition), by James Stewart, ISBN 0-534-40986-5, from Brooks/Cole Publishing Co. (2005). Previous editions of the text are fine, too.

Computing. Some software may be useful for homework assistance during this course, such as the old free Matlab package, or the newer version available on computers in the Arts and Sciences Computing Center in Eads Hall. A good introduction may be found in Using Matlab in Calculus by Gary Jensen, ISBN 0-13-027268-X from Prentice Hall (2000). Any calculator may be used for homework, for both symbolic and numerical computations, but certain calculators are prohibited during examinations.

Homework. You are encouraged to collaborate on homework and to work additional exercises from the textbook, although the homework grade will be based only on the exercises listed below. Please complete your solutions online by 5:00 pm on the due date. First log in with your student ID number as both Username and Password, then change the Password to something more secure.

Problem sets will be assigned as follows:

HW #1, due Mon, Jan 24 (Old HW #1) HW #2, due Mon, Jan 31 HW #3, due Mon, Feb 7 HW #4, due Mon, Feb 14 HW #5, due Mon, Feb 21 HW #6, due Fri, March 4	HW #7, due Mon, Mar 21 HW #8, due Mon, Mar 28 HW #9, due Mon, Apr 4 HW #10, due Mon, Apr 11 HW #11, due Thu, Apr 21 HW #12, due Fri, Apr 29

Late homework will not be accepted.

Examinations.

• Midterm examinations will be given from 6:30-8:30 pm on: February 8 (Exam 1 solutions), March 14 (List of Skills)(Exam 2 solutions), and April 12 (List of Skills)(Exam 3 solutions). Click here on examination day for your seat location.

  [Note: There was a typographical error in Problem 12 of Midterm #2, and some students did not receive the correction in time to find the answer, which was (I). For fairness, the exam will be re-graded ignoring Problem 12 and the score will be based on the remaining 17 problems. After the re-grading, the exam look-up site will show your answer for Problem 12 as incorrect, regardless of what it was, because the grading program is ignoring your answer.]

• Final examination will be held on Friday, May 6th, 2005, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. You may use this list of skills to check your preparation. Click here on examination day for your seat location.
• Policy
  • Always bring your Washington University Photo ID to exams; proctors will check student ID's.
  • A standard-sized 3x5 index card will be permitted as an aid during each examination.
  • Graphing calculators are allowed, including models TI-83, TI-83 Plus, and TI-86, but NOT any model that contains a ``Computer Algebra System (CAS)'' such as models TI-89, TI-92, HP-48 and HP-49. Use of a calculator with a built-in CAS during an exam will be viewed as an academic integrity violation that will be referred to the Academic Integrity Committee.
  • Just before each exam you can look up your exam room assignment on the web. The room will probably not be your regular classroom, and it may change for each exam. You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time to locate your seat and personalized exam booklet, which will have your name printed on it in large letters.
  • For a short time after it is graded an exam may be checked in the Math Office (Cupples I, room 100) for any errors. After that the exams will be put out for pick up in a cabinet by the Math 233 bulletin board on the first floor of Cupples I.

Grading. One score will be assigned for homework, one for the midterm examinations combined, and one for the final examination. These three will contribute in respective shares of 50%, 20%, and 30% to the course score. Letter grades, computed from the course score, will be at least the following:

Students taking the Cr/NCr or P/F options will need a grade of D or better to pass.

Additional Resources and Help

• Old Exams and solutions are posted on the web as a study guide. Copies of some of these exams should also be available to view or copy at the Reserve Desk of Olin Library.
• Tutors are available in the Calculus help room.
• The Study Groups started on January 23 at the Center for Advanced Learning located in Cornerstone (in Gregg Hall on the South 40, tel. 935-5970). They are conducted by graduate and undergraduate math students. If you want to belong to such a study group you must make a commitment to attend the group regularly. Hours: SuW 7-9pm; MTuTh 9-11pm.
