In Spring 2012 I will teach Math 241 Honors.
Office Hours for Spring 2012 will (generally) be MTW 9:00 -> 9:50, MTW 11:00 ->11:45, or by appointment. I am often in the office at other times. To schedule an appointment, ask in class, send me e-mail (jpda@math.uiuc.edu), or call me at 333-6406.

I have written some material on complex analysis which is available in book form (published by the AMS) and here on-line. This book might be useful on occasion in Calculus III.
To see a version of it (as of 6-1-10) go to http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~jpda/jpd-complex-geometry-book-5-bip.pdf Complex Analysis and Geometry (latest version)

Math 241 (Spring 2012)
Section C1 H, MTWR 10:00 AM in 241 Altgeld Hall.
Text will be Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th edition, by James Stewart. We will use web-assign.
To use web-assign you must self-enroll. The number is uiuc69081064
We will cover Chapters 12-16 plus a few additional things.
Web Assign Homework: (80 points)
Quiz: Feb. 2 (50 points)
Exam: Feb. 9 (100 points)
Exam: Mar. 1 (100 points)
Exam: Apr. 5 (100 points)
Quiz: Apr. 25 (50 points)
Take Home Problem Set: to be determined. (120 points)
Last day of class is May 2, 2012.
FINAL EXAM: Tuesday May 8 at 8:00 AM. (300 points)
Grades will be based on the total number of points you accumulate. There will be 900 total points. I reserve the right to make small changes in the above; for example, I might make a quiz worth a different number of points.

In Fall 2011, I taught Math 448 and Math 198. Here is more information about Math 198.
Math 198, Campus Honors Program Course on Complex Geometry, MWF 1:00 in 243 Altgeld.
The course grade will be primarily determined by your individual project; each student will write a short paper and present it to the class. (Sixty percent of the grade.)
Class participation (often solving homework problems at the board) will count fifteen percent of the grade.
The final exam will count twenty five percent of the grade.
There was a diagnostic midterm on Oct. 7. This exam did not count! Its only purpose was to help you get an idea of what sort of computations you should be able to do.
Last day of Class was Wed. Dec. 7, 2011.
Students presented their own papers.
FINAL EXAM: Friday, Dec. 16, 2011.
