Textbook: Calculus, 5th Ed., James Stewart Brooks/Cole Publishing, 2003. ISBN: 053439339X

Topics: This course will extend your knowledge of calculus to higher dimensions. We will cover chapters 11, 14 - 17 from the text.

Exams: 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 sheet of notes is allowed on each exam. There will be 2 midterms (Oct 12 and Nov 16) and a final exam (8-9:55 am, Friday, December 21st).

Practice midterm 1; Practice midterm 1 solutions

Practice midterm 2a; Practice midterm 2a solutions. Practice midterm 2b; Practice midterm 2b solutions.

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. Grades will be assigned on a curve. The approximate weighting is homework is 15%, labs are 10%, midterms are 21% each, and the final is 33%. 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.
