James Stewart, Calculus. Brooks/Cole, fifth edition, 2003
The course covers chapters: 13 through 18
The Maple text, Maple/Calculus Lab Manual for Math 104/114/115, is optional.Exams
Mid-term I: 10/06: covers sections: 13.2-14.3 from the textbook,Mid-term II: 11/17, 11-12pm (in the lecture): covers sections: 15.1-16.4+change of variables in double integrals in 16.9
Two midterm exams will be administered in class during the lecture time. No makeup quizzes and midterms will be given.
The final exam is common to all three sections of 114 (about 450 students in all). After the exam, the instructors of the three sections will decide together on a letter grade for the *final exam* (just the final) for each student. I will use these letter grades to determine everyone's ultimate letter grade as follows: if (for example) 35% of my section gets an ``A'' on the final, 30% a ``B'' and 30% a ``C'', then roughly the best 35% of the class (according to the total numerical mark discussed earlier) will get an ``A'', the next 30% (roughly) a ``B'' and the next 30% a ``C''. Note that getting a ``C'' on the final is not the same as getting a ``C'' for the course --- your grade for the course is determined by your cumulative performance on quizzes and midterms as well as the final, and the letter grade for the final is used only to determine what proportion of each section should get ``A'''s, ``B'''s et cetera.
Homework
The core problems listed on the will form the basis for the homework assignments. It is important that you practice doing the problems. This will help you to understand the material better and prepare you for the quizzes and exams. Homework problems will be posted after every lecture here: HomeworkQuizzes
Starting the 2nd week of classes a short quiz will be given each week at the end of your recitation. The quiz will consist of homework problems from the sections completed in the previous week. NO MAKEUP quizzes will be given.
