Textbook: Calculus, Late Transcendental Functions, 3/e, by Smith and Minton ISBN: 0073406066. It may be possible to buy just the multivariable part of the text, but I am not sure if that includes all the chapters we will use.

Topics: This course will extend your knowledge of calculus to higher dimensions. We will cover chapters 10-15 from the text (chapter 11 is considered review).

Exams: There will be weekly quizzes and a final exam. In case of a documented illness or valid University excuse (given in advance!), other exams will be used to interpolate for grading. A calculator and notes is allowed on each exam and quiz.

Practice final exam , Practice final exam solutions

Calculator Policy: Calculators are allowed during exams. However, you are expected to show the steps that justify your answers, and to give exact answers whenever possible. This also applies to homework unless the question specifically instructs you to use a computer or calculator. Any step on which you use a calculator must be clearly indicated (just write "CALCULATOR").

Grading: The homework assignments will be weighted equally, with the lowest score dropped. The lowest lab and quiz scores are also dropped. Grades will be assigned on a curve. The approximate weighting is homework: 20%, labs: 10%, worksheets/in-class: 10%, quizzes: 30%, final: 30%. If you do exceptionally well in some areas, these may be weighted more.

Homework: Depending on the length of the assignment, not all problems may be graded. Late homework is not accepted.
