Required Text: Richard E. Williamson and Hale F. Trotter, Multivariable Mathematics, 4th ed., Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 2004.
Syllabus: The course will cover most of chapters 1-3 in the text, and also selected sections in chapters 9 and 14. In addition, it will cover the material in the copyrighted web notes listed below. You are given permission to print one copy of each for use in connection with this course.
Grading System & Tests: Your grade will be based on homework, two in-class tests (11 June & 25 June), and a final exam (2 July, 1-3 pm). The homework will count for 15% of your grade, each in-class test for 25%, and the final exam for 35%. Your letter grade will be assigned this way: 90-100%, A; 80-89%, B; 70-79%, C; 60-69%, D; 59% or less, F.
Homework: I will pick up homework on a daily basis. Usually, I will assign several problems, only one of which will be graded. Late homework will not be accepted. However, if, for a legitimate reason you miss an assignment, I will simply drop the grade from your score.
Make-up Policy: I will give make-ups (or satisfactory equivalents) only in cases authorized under TAMU Regulations. In borderline cases, I will decide whether or not the excuse is authorized. Also, if you miss a test, contact me as soon as possible.
