Text:  J. Marsden and A. Tromba, Vector Calculus, 5th edition.  We will cover most of the text.

 

Exams:  There will be 2 mid-term exams and a final exam.  There will be absolutely no make-up exams. For excused absences, the grade for a missed exam will be a scaled average of subsequent exam grades. Documentation of illness, etc., must be provided to and approved by the Office of Academic Advising. Unexcused absence from an exam counts as a 0.

 

Assignments:  A homework set will be assigned every week.  All problems assigned in a given week will be collected at the section meeting the following week.  For example, problems pertaining to lectures on Monday, January 30 through Wednesday, February 1 will be collected at your section meeting on Thursday, February 9 (if you are enrolled in section 1 or 2) or Friday, February 10 (if you are enrolled in section 4).  Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances (including excused absence). The two lowest (or missing) homework scores will be dropped.  You are allowed to collaborate with other students in this course on the weekly problem sets.  On the other hand, each individual is required to contribute equally during collaboration and to fully understand the solution to each and every problem.  Each individual is expected to hand in his/her own solution set.

 

Grading:  Homework 10%, Midterms 25% each, and Final 40%,

 

Help Room:  213 Kreiger Hall.   Open 9am-9pm on Monday through Thursday and 9am-5pm on Friday.  This free service is a very valuable way to get one-on-one help.  It is staffed by graduate students and advanced undergraduates.

 

Ethics guideline:  The strength of the university depends on academic and personal integrity.  In this course, you must be honest and truthful.  Ethical violations include cheating on exams, plagiarism, reuse of assignments, improper use of the Internet and electronic devices, unauthorized collaboration.

 

Students with Disabilities:  Students with documented disabilities or other special needs that require accommodation must register with the Office of Academic Advising. After that, remind me of your needs at least 5 days prior to each exam.
