Text: McCallum, Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al., Multivariable Calculus, Wiley, 1997.

Course description: The course introduces the concepts and techniques involved in working with vectors and functions of more than one variable. We will cover multivariate derivatives and differential approximations, applications of the derivative, multivariate integration, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and, if time permits, vector integrals and Stokes's theorem.

Homework: Several homework problems will be assigned in each lecture. Homework will be due on Tuesday at 2:00 pm.

Exams: There will be two take-home hour exams: one on October 11 - 12, and one November 15 - 16.

Quizzes: There will be a ten-minute quiz given in each Thursday class meeting, except during exam weeks. Each quiz will consist of two or three problems very similar (if not identical) to problems on recent homework assignments. There will be no make-up quizzes; however, your two lowest quiz grades will not count.

Grading: Your two lowest quiz grades will be dropped, and the remaining grades will be weighted as follows to determine your grade for the course:

Resources: My office hours are listed here; you are welcome to make an appointment to talk with me at other times.

Issues of Academic Integrity: You are encouraged to collaborate with your classmates on homework assignments, as long as the information flow goes both ways. No collaboration will be allowed on quizzes or exams. You may a graphing calculator, with some restrictions (for instance, you can't use the calculator's memory to store formulas or other information from your notes or the textbook). I will announce the calculator policy for each exam; be sure you understand it before beginning the exam.
