Textbook
James Stewart, Calculus. Brooks/Cole, fifth edition, 2003
Course description
Functions of several variables, vector-valued functions, partial derivatives and applications, double and triple integrals, conic sections, polar coordinates, vectors and analytic geometry, first and second order ordinary differential equations. Applications to physical sciences.
Chapters 13-18 from the textbook will be covered, but the following sections are EXCLUDED from the final exam: 13.6, 10.5, 10.7, 16.5, Appendix G.Exams
Midterm I: Wednesday, Oct. 10th; 7-8.30pm,
Midterm II: Monday, Nov. 12th; 7-8.30pm,
Cumulative Final Exam: Dec. 12th; 9-11am
( all the exams are common for the entire MATH114 course ). The important part of the final exam preparation is studying the old exams.
Quizzes: around eight (15min) quizzes will be given in the recitation on the biweekly basis (see Course schedule). Every quiz will always cover the lecture material from the week before the quiz. (Policy: No makeup quizzes and midterms!)
Homework
Homework problems will be posted after every lecture in: Course schedule. The homework will NOT BE COLLECTED, but will form the basis for the biweekly quizzes.
The homework will include the core problems for MATH114, and you are responsible for knowing the material well enough to do the core problems, WHETHER OR NOT EVERY ASPECT OF THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN YOUR LECTURE AND RECITATION.Grades
Individual grades should be accessible through the BlackBoard website.
Quizzes: 20%
Midterm 1: 20%
Midterm 2: 20%
Final Exam: 40%
(Bonus: +5% for the active participation in the recitation sessions). The active participation includes but is not limited to solving the suggested practice problems and presenting the solutions in the recitation session.
The final exam is common to all three sections of 114 (about 450 students in all). After the exam, the instructors of all 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.Rules
- The Academic Honor Code will be strictly enforced.
- It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor about any special arrangements he or she needs to take the exams/quizzes.
- It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor, within the 1st week of classes, about his/hers religious holidays and events.
- When exams are handed back, please check that your grade has been properly totaled. It is the student's responsibility to verify if his/hers grades have been properly entered on the Blackboard website.
- Regrade requests must be submitted immediately after handing back the exams, after leaving the classroom you are no longer eligible to request a regrade.
- No makeup exams or quizzes will be given.
- If an exam is missed on account of illness or another valid reason, it is your responsibility to notify the instructor, these cases must be properly documented. The student must expect that the portion of the final exam will be used to assess the grade on the missing midterm.
- Calculators are NOT allowed, during an exam one must always document the solution, unsupported answers will receive no credit.
- Notes, books, cell phones and earphones are not permitted during any exam.
