SPRING
2011
Text: Vector Calculus -
by P.C. Matthews (Springer)
Instructor: Prof. H.
Kuiper
Office: PSA 625 phone:

Objectives: To learn the major concepts of
multivariable calculus and be able to use them.
This is not a rigorous course and so proofs will not be a central part
of the course. If your plans include
possibly taking graduate courses in
mathematics, you should be taking a more substantial course, such as
MAT372.
Grading: Grades will be based on 3 exams, a
final exam, homework and quizzes.
Syllabus: The schedule is only an
approximation. When the material gets difficult we may allow ourselves to
take more time.
If we run out of time we will omit
less important material.
Class Attendance: You are allowed 3 unexcused absences. Further unexcused absences will be
penalized.
6 unexcused absences will result in
a grade of EN (E as a result of nonattendance).
Location
of Exams.
If we fall behind and need to make
up time, there is a small chance that some exams might
be given in the Math Testing Center in
the basement of PSA (Wexler Hall).
Be sure you have your Sun Card – no
exam will be given without this ID. Make sure you know the hours that the
testing center is open
