- Prerequisites:
- MTH143, MTH162, or MTH172.
- Textbook:
- James Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Fifth Edition, Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2003.
- Syllabus:
- The course covers Chapters 12 through 16 of the textbook. The main topics are vectors and the geometry of space, vector functions, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and cector calculus.
- Grading Policy:
- The course grade will be derived from the following components.
-
- WeBWorK 20% of grade
- Midterm 1 20% of grade (here is the Practice Midterm #1) -- Midterm 1 is in Dewey 1101
- Midterm 2 20% of grade (here is the Practice Midterm #2 -- with solutions) -- Midterm 2 is in Dewey 1101
- Final 40% of grade (here is the Practice Final -- with solutions) The final is in Strong Lower at 4 pm on Monday May 5
- Thus, the course grade will be determined on the basis of the total numerical score achieved on the WeBWorK sets and exams. You will be able to access your test scores at any time via BlackBoard. You can access your grades by loging in at http://my.rochester.edu. The program is being used by many instructors of large mathematics classes, so you may already be familiar with it.
- WeBWorK:
- You will need to read the textbook (do not make the mistake of heading straight for the homework problems armed with only your lecture notes) and do many different types of problems in order to reinforce your understanding of a particular concept or technique. To help you achieve these goals, we have combined WeBWorK problems (these are presented and graded electronically) with weekly practice problems. Each WeBWorK set is due Monday morning at 0500, one week after it was assigned. The solutions are posted each Tuesday at 1000. There will be approximately 13 WeBWorK sets, from which the best 10 scores will count toward your grade. The first WeBWorK set is meant to familiarize you with WeBWorK and will not count toward your grade. Here is the link for the webwork page.
- Exams:
- The exam schedule is as follows. (The exam locations will be announced in the next two weeks.)
-
- Midterm 1, February 21, 0800-0930, Dewey 1101
- Midterm 2, April 3, 0800-0930, Dewey 1101
- Final, May 5, 1600-1900 Strong Auditorium Lower
- See the Spring 2008 Exam Schedule at http://www.rochester.edu/registrar/examschedule.html. The final will be cumulative and about twice as long as a midterm. We do not give make-ups on exams. If you miss an exam, you will receive a score of 0.
- Recitations:
- There will be sign-up sheets for Recitations posted on the first floor of Hylan (on the walls near the elevators), by January 18. You must register for Recitations and attend the meetings regularly, starting the week of January 20. Apart from Recitations, we encourage you to take full advantage of your instructor's office hours and the free tutoring offered in the Department of Mathematics. The Math Study Hall in 1103 Hylan is staffed by graduate mathematics students who will answer your questions on a walk-in basis. It is open each Tuesday and Thursday. A schedule will be posted on the door.
- We strongly encourage you to discuss with classmates and form a study group. Studying in groups has tremendous value and is most effective when the group takes responsibility for the learning of its members.
- Calculator Policy:
- While a few of the practice problems may require the use of a basic calculator, exam problems will be constructed such that calculators are not needed and would provide no benefit (and, in fact, may be a distraction). Therefore, calculators are not allowed in exams.
- ADA Disability Statement:
- If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accomodate most needs. For information please contact Learning Assistance Services (10 Lattimore, telephone number (585)275-9049), or visit their web site http://www.rochester.edu/College/las/. Any accomodations for exams must be arranged a week in advance and will require a letter or e-mail from Learning Assistance Services.
- Academic Integrity Statement:
- You are responsible for knowing and abiding by the University of Rochester's academic integrity code. For a complete listing visit the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering's web site http://www.rochester.edu/College/honesty/. Any violation of academic integrity will be pursued according to the specified procedures.
- Weekly Schedule:
- The following weekly schedule has a list of practice problems assigned for each section covered in the lectures, and describes what will be discussed in Recitations.
