Class Time and Location: Mondays 6:30-8:10 PM in WILSON 164 Wednesdays 6:30-8:10 PM in ROBINSON 324 Webpage: Web CT Required Technology: TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculator and the Software Mathematica. Texts: Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, by James Stewart Elementary Linear Algebra (ApplicationsVersion), 9th Edition by Anton and Rorres Semester Credit Hours: Four Grading and Grade Scale: Your final grade will be the average of your best three scores on tests I, II, III, IV and V. Grade Average of Your Best Three Tests A……………………..95 to 100 A-…………………....90 to less than 95 B+……………………85 to less than 90 B……..………………80 to less than 85 B-………..….………..75 to less than 80 C+…………………….70 to less than 75 C………………………65 to less than 70 C-……………………..60 to less than 65 D+…………………….55 to less than 60 D……………………...50 to less than 55 F……………………....Below 50 For example, if your average is 74.7, your final grade would be a C+. Extra Credit – Each of the following will add three points to your final grade. If you complete all three of these tasks, I will add one more point to your final grade. I will not accept any late work under any circumstance. Hand in any 10 problems assigned Weeks 1 – 4. Present orally one of these problems. Due by Sept 26. Hand in any 10 problems assigned Weeks 5 – 9. Present orally one of these problems. Due by Oct 31. Hand in any 10 problems assigned Weeks 10 – 14. Present orally one of these problems. Due by Dec 5. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION: This course gives a comprehensive introduction to functions of several variables, linear algebra, vector calculus and ordinary differential equations. It includes partial derivatives, double integrals, matrices, matrix operations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, dot and cross products, divergence, curl, first order ordinary differential equations and numerical methods. A computer algebra system such as Mathematica is required. Attendance Policy: Full attendance is expected every class
meeting. Absence will affect your grade through the class participation
grade. If you miss more than class meetings for any reason, I will deduct
five percentage points off your final grade for each class missed in excess
of the eight allowed. If you leave a class meeting early, I will consider
whether or not to count you in attendance that day on a case-by-case basis. Schedule: Week 4
