Textbook:
James Stewart, Multivariable Calculus, 6th edition, Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2008. We will cover Chapters 16 and 17.

Prerequisite:
Math 32A, or equivalent.

Homework:
There will be 10 homework assignments. The homework is due every Friday at the beginning of class, starting Friday January 7. For each homework assignment only three problems, chosen by the instructor, will be graded: you will get 0, 1 or 2 points per graded problem. In addition, 0 to 4 points will be assigned for completeness, so that you will score a maximum of 10 points per homework assignment. Graded homework will be returned to you during your recitation session, on Tuesday or Thursday of the following week. No late homework will be accepted, but the two lowest homework scores will be dropped in the computation of your final grade.

Exams:
There are going to be two in-class midterm exams (on Monday, January 24 and on Monday, February 28 ) and a three hour final exam (on Tuesday, March 15, from 3pm to 6pm); there will be no make-up exams unless you have an excuse that is officially sanctioned by UCLA. You must take the final in order to pass the class (i.e. if you not not show up at the final exam you will fail the class).

Grading:
Your grade will be will be computed as follows:

(10% Homework) + (25% Midterm 1) + (25% Midterm 2) + (40% Final).
