Math 360 - Fall 2007

"... Nothing wastes more time than slowly thinking."
That is about me.

Welcome to Advanced Calculus!

I will be leading the lab sessions for this course. Here is a link to Prof.Powers' webpage.

Here are some details about the course.

BOOKS
We are not going to stick desperately to any book, but the reference for the course is
Elementary Classical Analysis, Marsden, J., Hoffman, M., 2nd edition ('93),W.H.Freeman & Co

As an alternative choice at the same difficulty level but with more succinct presentation I can suggest the classic
Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Rudin,W., McGraw Hill, Inc.

TIME AND PLACE:
LAB:
101 M 6:30-8:30PM DRLB 4C4
102 W 6:30-8:30PM DRLB 4C4
LEC:
TR 12-1:30PM DRLB 4C2

COURSE ORGANISATION:

  • Homework: There will be assigned sets of problems (before each exam) which are going to be VERY relevant to the material on the tests. The homework will NOT be collected. We will discuss the problems in class.
  • Exams : we are going to have a final and several midterm exams (4 or 5). They are going to be related to the corresponding problem sets BUT certain topics can reocurr.

    LAB

  • I expect everyone to participate actively in the work of the class with discussions and problem-solving.
  • I plan to start classes with a small discussion of the topics involved and then proceed with examples and problems from your problem sets and additional ones which I'll be preparing.
  • If you feel unhappy about a topic or a problem, please share the burden with me.

    FIRST EXAM:
    Sep 27
    Third exam: Nov 8

    Exam 2 SOLUTIONS.
