Math 241 - Calculus IV (Spring 2006)

Text
Zill and Cullen, Advanced Engineering Mathematics. Jones and Bartlett, second edition, 2000

The course covers Chapters 12-15 (Partial Differential Equations / Boundary Value Problems), and Chapters 17-19 (Complex Analysis).

Time and place
Lectures: MWF 11-12noon, DRLB A7
Office hours Erik van Erp: Monday 2-3, Wednesday 11-12noon, or by appointment.
Office hours David Fithian: Tuesday 11-12, Thursday 1-2.

Exams
Mid-term I: Monday, February 13 (Chapters 12, and 13.1-13.4)
Mid-term II: Friday, March 17 (Chapters 13.5, 6, 7 / 14.1, 2, 3 / 15.3, 4)
Final exam: Thursday, April 27, 12noon-2pm, Leidy Lab, room 10.

Since mid-term exams will be given in class, there will be no make-up exams!
On all exams, students can use an 8 by 11 inch "cheat sheet" (two-sided). No calculators.

Final exam topics
The emphasis in the final exam is on complex analysis, Chapters 17-19. This accounts for 80% of the exam. The final exam will also include some questions on the following topics: Fourier Series (sections 12.2, 12.3), separation of variables (13.1), and the classical PDEs (13.3, 13.4, 13.5).


Grade

The final grade for the course will be a composite of homework and exam scores. No quizzes. The formula used to determine the final grade is as follows:
Final numerical score = 20% Homework + 20% for each Mid-Term Exam + 40% Final Exam.
