Textbook: J. Rogawski, C. Adams, Multivariable Calculus, W. H. Freeman & Company, Third Edition, (2015).
Requisites: courses Math 31B and Math 32A, with grades of C- or better.
Homeworks will be assigned weekly (i.e. 10 set of problems) and collected at the beginning of the Friday lecture (if Friday is a holiday the collection date is next Monday at the beginning of the lecture). The purpose of the homework exercises is to deepen the notions and the concepts learned during the lectures. Please note that late- or no homeworks will be graded as zero, but the two lowest homework scores will be dropped in the computation of your final grade (see 'Grading' section below). The homework sheets will appear on this webpage, approximately 1 weak before their deadline. There is a possibility to work in groups on the homeworks. In this case, everybody from the group has to submit his/her own homework paper and should write the names of the other students from his/her group on the top of the papers.
Exams: there will be two midterm exams on the third and eighth weeks of the instruction period (see the precise dates below) and a written final exam at the end of the quarter. No make-up exams will be provided, a missed exam is graded as zero. You must take the final in order to pass the class!
Grading: the final grade is calculated as follows. I will choose the scheme which gives you higher final score:
10% HG + 40% ((MG1+MG2)/2) + 49% FG + 1%E,
or
10% HG + 25% max(MG1;MG2) + 64% FG + 1%E, where
HG = the average of scores on the homework papers, except the two lowest ones
MG1, MG2 = the scores of the two midterm
FG = the score of the final exam
E = the score if you submit an evaluation for the course at the end (either 100% or 0%)
Date of the first midterm: Friday, January 25, 2019, 10-10h50AM place: HAINES 39
Date of the second midterm: Friday, March 1, 2019, 10-10h50AM place: HAINES 39
Date of the final exam: Tuesday, March 19, 2019, 8-11AM
Regrading for the homeworks, midterms and final exams should be requested within 2 weeks of their due date and exam date respectively. Any requests after this period will be not taken into consideration.
