1. Course information Meeting place and time: MW 18:00-19:30, LCB 219 Instructor: Chenyang Xu, LCB 114, email: [email protected], Tel: (801)-585-1643 Office Hour: MW 17:00-18:00. Course website: http://www.math.utah.edu/∼cyxu/math2210 2. Course Content Text: Calculus 9th edition, by Varberg, Purcell, Rigdon Supplements: Graph paper is recommended. Calculators will be useful in class and on assignments but are not allowed during exams. This means, for example, that you should know the trig values for fundamental angles, such as 0, π6 , π4 , π3 , π2 . I will try to keep calculations relatively simple on exams. Material Covered: This course is an introduction to vector and multidimensional Calculus. It begins with the study of curves and vectors in two and three dimensions. We then study differentiation and integration in two or more variables. The course ends with line and surface integrals and Green’s and Stokes’ theorems. The material covers chapters 11 through 14 of the text. Prerequisite: To enroll for this course, you must have at least a C grade in Calculus 2 (Math 1220). 3. Course Structure Exams: There will be three midterm exams that emphasize the most recent material. There is also a comprehensive final exam. Each exam is given in our classroom. Assignments: A list of assigned problems will be distributed that allows you to practice and apply ideas discussed in class. These problems will not be collected. Grade: The four exams each count 25 percent. There are no make-ups or retests. So please plan to attend the exams. Grading scale: 93-100 A 90-92 A87-89 B+ 83-86 B 80-82 B77-79 C+ 73-76 C 70-72 C67-69 D+ 63-66 D 60-62 D1
