Course
Description:
The prerequisites for this
course are a passing grade in 21C or the equivalent. The material
covered includes double and triple integrals, polar and spherical
coordinates, line integrals, Green's and Stoke's theorem. The
material is covered in chapters 15 and 16 in the book.
Midterms: There will be two midterms (dates to be announced but approximately two weeks in and four weeks in). These exams are closed book, closed notes, no calculator. I will closely follow the rules set forth in the Code of Academic Conduct. Please bring a photo ID and sign in for each exam. You must show your work neatly and legibly in order to receive credit.
There will be no make-up midterms, for absolutely no reason what so ever.
Student Disabilities: If you have a disability of some kind which requires accomodation, make sure you talk to the Student Disability Center as soon as possible. Please talk to me as well.
Homework: Expect a homework assignment basically
every class period. The homeworks will be due on Monday and
Wednesday at the beginning of the class period. They will be graded and
returned to you. It is your responsibility to check and make
sure that the grader did not make any mistakes.
Late
homework will not be accepted! No exceptions.
The
lowest score will be dropped though. You are welcome
(encouraged!) to discuss your homework assignments with other students
in the class. HOWEVER, please make sure the final write-up is done on
your own. The assignments will be announced in class and posted on the
website daily.
All homework should be stapled in the upper left-hand corner. Please write your name, your student ID number, and the assignment number in the upper right-hand corner of the top page. Illegible or unstapled homework may be refused at the discretion of the grader. Find your homework grades at my.ucdavis.edu. If you turned in your homework, but have a zero recorded in my.ucdavis, you have until the end of the week homework is returned to register a complaint.
Since this is a summer class, we have more class
time available than the equivalent class taught during the year.
Hence some of that time will be used to work on problems, individually,
in group and as a class. Also, section time will be fused into
the class time.
Calculator Policy: No calculators are required for this course. An inexpensive scientific calculator may be helpful for many of the homework problems, and occasional problems (probably less than 10%) may require the use of graphing capabilities. There are math graphing programs on lab computers that may help with these problems if you don't want to purchase a graphing calculator. Don't forget that Windows has a built-in scientific calculator. No calculators will be allowed, or necessary, on exams.
Attendance
and Participation: Regular attendance to the lectures is
strongly advised. You will be responsible for any material presented in
class, whether or not you are present. This includes announcements,
assignments, and of course, midterms. The best strategy for
success in
this and any math course is to keep up with the material. Don't
let yourself get behind! Your textbook is a valuable
resource--read it! Look over new sections before we cover them in
class, and study them again more closely after the lecture. Not only is
class time too limited to cover all of the examples, explanations, and
hints found in the text, but the text can also provide a helpful second
perspective on the same material. In addition review class notes
regularly. If you need assistance you are encouraged to ask
questions during class or work time or come visit me during office
hours.
