     Course Description: Vector algebra and solid analytic geometry; calculus of functions of several variables; Lagrange multipliers; multiple integration, theory, methods and application; line and surface integrals, Green’s and Stokes’ theorems; Jacobians. Designed to be more demanding than MATH 251 and MATH 253.
      Prerequisite: MATH 172 or approval of instructor. Credit will not be given for more than one of MATH 221, MATH 251 and MATH 253.
      Required text:  Stewart, Calculus: Early Vectors, Preliminary Edition
    Calculator Policy: Calculators will NOT be allowed on quizzes or exams.
Course Objectives:  We will cover much of chapters 11-14 of the text. Most of this course covers three-dimensional analytic geometry and vectors, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector calculus. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the material as covered during lectures and demonstrate ability to use these concepts on exams,  quizzes and homework.  At the end of this course, students should be able to visualize surfaces in 3-dimensional space; apply partial differentiation to extremal problems and to variety of  applications; apply  techniques of multiple integration to a variety of physical and engineering applications; find potential of conservative vector field and apply various types  of Stokes' theorem.
    Weekly Schedule: The (tentative) weekly schedule is posted on the MATH 221 course homepage at   /courses/math221/currentsched.html
  Recitation: Every Wednesday students will attend recitation.  The quizzes/activities will be held there.
  Grade Ingredients: Your grade will be based on weekly quizzes/activities,  three tests which will be given out side of class and final exam. The quizzes will count for 20%, each test for 18% and the final exam for 26%.
    Letter Grades: A(90-100%), B(80-89%), C(70-79%), D(60-69%), F(0-59%) .
    Exams: Three midterm exams will be administrated. Dates TBA.  Sections for  exams will be  available at /~shatalov/171Lecture_Notes_F13.html
     Final Exam:  Tuesday, May 6,  1pm-3pm  in Bloc 161.   
Remember to bring your ID with you for all exams!
    Homework: Suggested homework is posted at /courses/math221/currenthw.html. These problems are for practice and will not be handed in; however, quiz and exam questions may be similar to suggested homework problems.
   Class Announcements, E-Mail Policy and Communications: Class announcements will be posted on my homepage. It is your responsibility to check them daily. Some important course announcements might be sent to your NEO e-mail account. It is your responsibility to check the NEO account and get familiar with the announcements.  Email is the preferred way to leave private messages for me. I usually respond within 24 hours. When writing to me, please include your full name and course. Use your NEO e-mail account to send me e-mail. Otherwise please indicate your UIN. The phone number above is for the main office for the Math Department in Blocker. You can leave a message for me there. You will probably get a faster response by using email.
    Make-ups and Excused Absences: Make-ups are only given if written evidence of an official University excused absence is provided in a timely manner. (See University Student Rules., http://student-rules.tamu.edu/). Let me know what is going on in writing, in advance, if possible. If there is an accident or an emergency that precludes advance notice, call me immediately and get me documentation of the emergency in writing as soon as you can. If I don't hear from you within 2 working days of the absence, I will not allow a make-up. It is your responsibility to schedule a make-up! The "explanatory statement for absence from class" form is not sufficient written documentation for an excused absence. If you are ill or injured, you need to provide me with a note from a health care professional excusing you from work or school. You may go to your own doctor or to the Student Health Center in Beutel and obtain such a note. The note should provide me with all information I need to confirm that your absence is excused, i.e., phone numbers and email addresses. The lowest two quiz scores will be  dropped at the end of the semester. That is why there are generally no make-ups for quizzes; only for exams.
    Grade Complaints: Any questions regarding grading/scoring of exams must be made before the exam leaves the room or no change in grade will be made. If you need more time to look at an exam and do not want to lose your right of protest, hand it back to me at the end of class, and arrange to come to office hours.  Because of privacy rights, I cannot discuss grades over email or phone.

    Attendance of both lectures and recitations is important. If you must miss class or recitation on days something is to be turned in, please contact me or your TA as soon as you know.  Completed notes will be posted on my web page IF you do not use these as a substitute to attending class.   Attendance and participation may also count as 3% of the final grade. Attendance and participation will only be used to help a student's grade, and it will be determined by judgment of the instructor. If class attendance and participation are insufficient, the final grade will be averaged without. The percentages for the other elements will be reduced proportionately if class participation is averaged in.  Attendance and participation  will be evaluated primarily by a sign-in sheet which will be available at the beginning of class and secondarily by the subjective opinion of the instructor. The sign-in sheet may be collected shortly after class begins, be sure to arrive promptly and sign-in if you want credit. Note, if you sign the roll sheet, you are expected to remain in the classroom for the entire 75 minutes.

    Electronic Device Policy: Cell phones, laptops, and other electronic devices must be silent and put away during class. If you are unable to comply with this policy, you will be asked to leave class and will not be allowed to make-up any assignments missed in class that day.

    Class Etiquette: I expect that during class you stay focused on learning the mathematics being taught. You should not be reading a  newspaper or materials from another course, you should refrain from discussion not related to class and you should not leave class early unless you have cleared it with me first. If I feel you are being disruptive or disrespectful during class, you may be asked to leave.
 
    Scholastic Dishonesty: "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." Visit http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor and follow the rules of the Aggie Honor Code. There will be many opportunities (homework and recitations) for you to work together in an appropriate manner. However, each student  is responsible for turning in their own unique work. During exams and quiz, you are not allowed to receive any kind of assistance from anyone. Any instance of scholastic dishonesty will be handled according to the processes outlined on the Honor Code website at http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/Processes/reportingandadjudication.html .

    SOURCES OF HELP
    Students With Disabilities: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact Services for Students with Disabilities (Cain Hall, Room B118, or call 845-1637).
