- In this course you will get aquainted with the calculus of
functions of two and three variables, as well as with the basics of ordinary
differential equations. Applications that will be covered include finding
areas and volumes in two and three dimensions, computing trajectories of
objects in 3D, solving the spring equation, analyzing the evolution of
populations in a predator-prey ecosystem. For a more detailed list of
topics, see the math department Mat 114 site.
- Quizzes: 20%
- Three midterms: 40%
- Final: 40%

- You do not have to turn
in the homework. However working through all the homework problems each week
is the most important ingredient for doing well in the course. The homework
for the whole semester is listed here.
-
- There will be weekly quizzes during recitations, which will count for
20% of the final grade. Each week, starting with the third, the quiz will cover
the material tested on the homework for the week (see the Weekly schedule).
No make up quizzes will be allowed, but the lowest quiz grade will be dropped
from computing the average.
-
- You are allowed to bring a "cheat
sheet" to the exams, a regular size sheet of paper with handwritten formulas on
both sides. No calculators are permitted on the exams. The midterms will be in
class and the exam dates are:
- • First midterm: Thursday, Feb. 14
- • Second midterm: Thursday, Mar. 27
- • Third midterm: Thursday, Apr. 24
- • Final: Friday, May 9, 9-11am, in Chem 102
