| A grade of C or better in Mathematics 252. (This means that you are expected to remember how to integrate and differentiate!) | ||||
| Vectors and analytic geometric in space. Vector-valued functions of several variables. Differentials, gradients, and extrema of functions of several variables. Multiple integrals and their applications. Introductory vector analysis including line and surface integrals. | ||||

The course grade will be determined as
follows:
10 % quizzes (daily five-minute quizzes)Letter grades will be assigned as follows: 90-100% A, 80-89% B, 70-79% C, 60-69% D, 0-59% F.The grade of I is given very rarely and only in cases of true emergency, never to just temporarily improve your GPA. |

| We will start most days with a brief "quiz" (usually less than
five minutes). This will usually be one problem directly
from the previous night's homework. You
will be allowed to use your personal handwritten notes; but not your book, computer or printed notes. If
you have attended class and done all the homework, the quiz points should
be automatic!
These quizzes will be graded on a four-point scale: one point for your name, four points for the correct answer, and two or three for a partially correct answer. If you are late, you will get a one. If you cheat, you may get a negative score. If you miss the day, or leave early, then you will get a zero. Exceptions will be made for appropriate excuses, but you must let me know (and provide documentation) within two weeks. Being excused from an absence does not excuse the next days quiz. If you miss class you should still do your homework. The four lowest scores will be dropped (other than zero or negative scores given for academic dishonesty). All of your remaining quiz points will be added, then converted into a percentage score. Quizzes will usually be returned the next class meeting and those that are not picked up will be tossed out one week later. |

| Tests & Final: | The homework, quizzes and classroom examples indicate the type of problems that will be on the tests. No make-up tests. If you miss a test, you will be given the average of the following tests and final. The final will be a comprehensive departmental final. Review for the final by studying the hour tests and the homework. You may not leave the room during any test. | |||
| We will not use graphing and programmable calculators for the exams! Only basic calculators (such as those allowed for the Engineering FE exam) may be used. (Basically any Casio fx-115; any TI-30X or TI-36X; and the HP 33s or HP 35s.) | ||||
| Excellent Graphing Programs by Konrad Polthier (large, but excellent). A smaller acceptable Surface Plotter (local copy) | ||||
| The Department of Mathematics and Statistics publishes a syllabus for each of it courses which may be viewed in my office or on the departmental web pages. | ||||
Note: |
If you are a student with a legally documented disability that may require assistance or accommodation, or if you have questions related to any accommodation for testing, note taking, use of readers, etc., please speak with me as soon as possible. You may also contact the Student Academic Support Services in Clement Hall Room 210. The contact person for disability assistance is Ms. Sharon Robertson at 881-7719. | |||
Honesty: |
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in at least an F for the quiz, test or assignment. Your Student Handbook clearly states "suspension from the university is the expected penalty" for "plagiarism, cheating, and academic integrity issues" and this includes submitting the work of another person as your own or permitting another to submit yours as his/her own. | |||
