In Calculus III we will study space curves, functions of several variables, vector fields, and their properties. We will cover Chapters 11 to 14 of the textbook.
The course will be challenging for most students. Pay attention to the derivation of the results and formulas, because in many cases if you don't understand how a formula is obtained, then you won't be able to use it correctly. Learn the material, don’t memorize it. Learn the ideas; don’t memorize solutions to particular examples. Express yourself clearly. Start working early. Take good notes in class. Get prepared to every class meeting so you can participate. You will succeed only if you work regularly.
The course grade will be based on weekly homework, three midterm exams, and a final exam. The midterm exams will be given on Fridays September 14, October 12, and November 9 during regular lecture hours. The final exam is scheduled for 8:00 to 11:00 AM, Monday, December 10.
Homework will be collected on Thursday discussion sections every week. Late homework will not be accepted, no excuses. Two lowest homework scores will be dropped.
Each midterm exam is worth 18%,
all homework - 16%,
final exam - 30%.
Approximate grade ranges are as follows:
A(+/-): 86-100%; B(+/-): 71-85%; C(+/-): 56-70%; D(+/-): 40-55%;
F: below 40% (God forbid!)
