Instructor's office hours: MWF 1-2 in MS 7919

Teaching Assistants: Cristian Virdol and Regis Smith

TA office hours:

Text: Chapters 3 and 6 from Intermediate Calculus by M. Protter and C. Morrey. We will cover roughly the departmental outline.

Discussion sections: The discussion sections are conducted by the teaching assistant, and are an integral part of the course. The TA will discuss the homework that has just been handed in, and related material. The discussion sections provide an opportunity to have your questions answered on a more personal basis and at greater length than is possible in the lecture. There will often be aspects of solutions to exercises that you will not have considered. You should take advantage of the chance to ask questions that go beyond the particular problems that were assigned that week. Even though we will not have covered much material yet, the first week discussions sections will meet for the entire period. The teaching assistants will discuss some extra problems related to the material covered in class Monday (and Wednesday for those of you in Thursday sections).

Quizzes: There will be occasional quizzes in the discussion section that cannot be made up if missed. In them, you will be asked to do problems similar to the homework assigned during the previous several lectures. The way missed quizzes or homework will be handled is explained under grading below.

Homework: It is practically impossible to learn mathematics without doing a lot of problems. Therefore, it is extremely important that you do the assigned problems carefully and promptly. Don't get behind! I will assign homework in each lecture. It will be due in discussion section. In each discussion section, all homework is due that was assigned prior to the previous lecture (i.e., if you are in a Tuesday section, you turn in HW assigned the previous week; if you are in a Thursday section, you turn in everything assigned through the previous Monday, inclusive). I expect that graded homework will be returned to you a week later. Late homework will not be accepted. You can ask questions about the problems in discussion section, or in the office hours of the TA and instructor. If you don't get a particular assignment, you can always find it on my web page.

Examinations: There will be two midterms and a final exam. Tentatively, the first midterm will be on February 9 the second midterm will be on March 2. The final exam will be 3-6pm on Wednesday, March 21. It will cover the entire quarter. There will be no makeup exams.

Grading: The final grade will be based on the the exams, quizzes and homework with the following weights: Final (40%), Midterms (20% each) and homework and quizzes (20%). The bottom 2 homework/quiz scores will be dropped before determining the homework/quiz grade.
