If you do not follow the instructions that will be announced in class about how to organize and submit your homework, you may not receive full (or any) credit for it. Homework that is more than a week late might not receive any credit. There will be a penalty on late homework. There may also be in-class assignments or quizzes collected for a grade (as part of your homework grade). You should bring your homework to class every day. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the final deadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester. An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in the following semester. Generally, to receive a grade of 'I', a student must have taken all tests, be passing, and after the last date to withdraw, have a personal tragedy occur which prevents course completion.

Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Withdrawn by student or instructor prior to last withdrawal date on school calendar In that case, you will need to take the make-up exam to replace that 0.ĩ0% or better and a grade of at least 80 on the finalĨ0% - 89% and a grade of at least 70 on the finalħ0% - 79% and a grade of at least 60 on the final

If you do not take the test during that period, you will receive a 0 for that grade. If you miss a test, you must try to take it during this “late” period. However, no late tests will be allowed after I hand the graded tests back in class. If you take any test late for any reason, there will be a penalty of 10 points off your test grade. Sometime after Test 3, there will be a single make-up exam over the material on tests 1-3 the grade on this exam can be used to replace your lowest grade on the first three tests, up to a maximum grade of 90 if you make complete corrections for tests 1-3 or 75 without the completed corrections. In addition, you will be assigned several computer labs which will count for a substantial grade. There will be 3 exams plus a final exam (part of which will be comprehensive). This software is available in the classrooms and in the Learning Labs. You will be required to use Mathematica software for the course you may choose to purchase this (there is a “student edition” and various time-limited versions available at a reduced price), but you are not required to do so. Mathematica software is available for student use. Technology required: The use of calculators or computers in order to perform routine computations is encouraged in order to give students more time on abstract concepts. Optional: Student Solutions Manual, Single Variable by Jeffrey A. Students who will go on to Calculus III will need the full version. Either may be used for Calculus I and II. The text is sold in a full version and a shortened version, the “Single Variable” version. Text: Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th ed., by James Stewart, Brooks/Cole 2010. Therefore, in this course we introduce: (i) several methods for interpreting graphs of multivariable functions (ii) properties of vectors (iii) differentiation and integration of multivariable functions (iv) parametric equations of curves in two and three dimensions (v) a mathematical description of motion in space A primary goal of Calculus III is to extend these ideas to three dimensions and to other coordinate systems. Instructional Methodology: This course is taught in the classroom primarily as a lecture/discussion course.Ĭourse Rationale: The first two semesters of the calculus sequence dealt with material in two-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinates. the sine and cosine functions numerical integration and applications of the integral. Topics include polar coordinates and polar curves vectors and analytical geometry in three dimensions vector-valued functions and curvature components of acceleration functions of several variables limits and continuity in three-space partial and directional derivatives gradients, tangent planes, and extreme of functions of two variables multiple integrals in rectangular, polar, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates applications of multiple integrals to area, volume, moments, centroids, and surface area. If you have any questions about your preparation for the course, please come and talk to me about it.Ĭourse Description: MATH 2415 CALCULUS III (4-4-0).

If I feel you are not prepared for this course, I may choose to withdraw you. Please make sure you have the necessary prerequisites for this course: MATH 2414 with a C or better or its equivalent.
