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 Transcendentals, eighth edition.
Calculator Policy: Calculators
will NOT be allowed on quizzes or exams.
Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes:
We will cover much of chapters 12-16 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 do basic operations with vectors (addition, multiplication by a scalar, dot product, cross product); visualize surfaces in 3-dimensional
space; apply partial differentiation to optimization problems and to
variety of applications; differentiate and integrate functions of several variables over curves and surfaces; apply techniques of multiple
integration to a variety of physical and engineering applications; find
potential of conservative vector field and apply the “big three” theorems about vector calculus in two and three variables
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/tests will be held there.

Approximately
once per week (takehome or in class). Each in class quiz will contain
problems from notes and from homework. One lowest quiz grade will be

It will be assigned
approximately once per week. These problems are for practice and will not be handed in; however,
quiz and exam questions may be similar to homework problems.

Attendance and participation
|
|
Attendance is important. If you must miss class on days something is
to be turned in, please contact me as soon as you
know. Attendance and participation may also count up to 4 extra points added to 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 taking into account TA's recommendations. If class attendance and participation are insufficient, the
final grade will be calculated without.

SOURCES OF HELP
- Instructor: First, if you have a question, do not hesitate to
ask before, after, or during a class. Second,I
encourage you to attend my office hours to get individual help. You do
not need an appointment to come to regular office hours. If your
schedule does not permit you to come to the announced office hours,
send me an e-mail with your schedule and we will make an appointment to
meet at some other time.
- Class Notes: An outline of
notes will be posted before each class day. It will be beneficial to
print these out and bring them with you to class. You should review
your notes after class, and make sure you get any questions you have
about the material answered before the next class day.
- Help Sessions: The Math department offers help sessions for math 221.
- Week in Review problems:
There is online resourse created by your instructor which contains
plenty course related problems with solutions. It is recommended to
work this problems in addition to homework problems to prepare to
exams.
Additional Course Information and Policies
-
Excused absences and Makeups
- The University views class attendance as an individual student responsibility. It is
essential that students attend class and complete all assignments to succeed in the course. University
student rules concerning excused and unexcused absences as well as makeups can be found at
http://student-rules.tamu.edu/rule07. In particular, make-up exams and quizzes or late homework
will NOT be allowed unless a University approved reason is given to me in writing. Notification
before the absence is required when possible. Otherwise, you must notify me within 2 working
days of the missed exam or quiz to arrange a makeup. In all cases where an
exam/quiz is missed due to an injury or illness, whether it be more or less than 3 days, I
require a doctor’s note. I will not accept the “University Explanatory Statement for Absence from
Class” form. Further, an absence due to a non-acute medical service or appointment (such as a
regular checkup) is not an excused absence. Providing a fake or falsified doctor's note or other
falsified documentation is considered academic dishonesty, will be reported to the Aggie Honor
Council, and will result in an F* in the course.
- Makeup exams will only be allowed provided the above guidelines are met. You will be allowed to
make up a missed exam during one of the scheduled makeup times provided by the Math
Department. According to Student Rule 7, you are expected to attend the scheduled makeup unless
you have a University-approved excuse for missing the makeup time as well. If there are multiple
makeup exam times, you must attend the earliest makeup time for which you do not have a
University-approved excuse. The list of makeup times will be available at
/courses/makeupexams.html.
- 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 TAMU.EDU e-mail account or posted on eCampus. It is your
responsibility to check your account and get familiar with the
announcements. E-mail
(shatalov AT
math.tamu.edu) 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 Math 220 and section number. Use your TAMU.EDU e-mail account to send me an 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.
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.
Please refrain from using electronic devices during class. Texting and playing on your
phone or computer distracts not only you, but also those around you. If you would like to use a laptop or
iPad during class to take notes with, please ask for permission prior to doing so.
- Scholastic Dishonesty: "An Aggie does not
lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." Visit http://student-rules.tamu.edu/aggiecode 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
.
- 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 Disability Services, currently
located in the Disability Services building at the Student Services at
White Creek complex on west campus or call 979-845-1637. For
additional information, visit http://disability.tamu.edu
