Office Hours : MWF period 7, and by appointment made 24 hours in advance. The purpose of office hours is to provide additional assistance in understanding the material given in lectures and the homework. They are not meant to help you to learn material from lectures that you chose to miss.

Note on Email: I often check my email just in the early afternoons on weekdays. So if you need a reply by a certain time, plan ahead accordingly.

Text: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, by James Stewart (6th ed.). You can buy the entire book or just the smaller version containing only the chapters for Calc. III (the latter is mostly just available at bookstores in Gainesville).

Prerequisites: MAC2312 or equivalent background. This means that not only have you taken and passed Calculus I and II, but that you can use the material without difficulty, for example, compute derivatives and integrals, find maximum of functions, etc.

Brief Course Description: This is the third course in the calculus sequence. It deals mainly with calculus in dimensions higher than one. We will cover Chapters 12 through 16 of James Stewart's Calculus - Early Transcendentals, 6th edition. Topics to be covered include: vector algebra and vector functions, partial derivatives, optimization in several variables, multiple integrals, line and surface integrals, and the theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss. This is a fairly ambitious syllabus compared to classes you may have taken before and we will have to move rapidly to complete it.

Class Attendance and Protocol: Most students benefit a great deal from attending class regularly. Arriving late and/or leaving early, reading the newspaper, talking, texting, etc. disrupts the class and is rude and unprofessional. As far as I know it is impossible to take math notes on a laptop, so please don't open yours in class. You are responsible for all information given in class and posted on the course websites, for example, changes to the exam schedule, etc.

Course Format: Lectures on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Friday, we go over homework and have a quiz (except for Friday holiday weeks).

Exams: There will be three 50-minute in-class exams with a review in the class before the exam. The in-class exam dates are: Monday, September 26, Monday October, 31 and Monday, December 5. The time and date of the final exam is set by the University and cannot be changed. The final exam will cover the entire course and will take place on Thursday, December 15 from 12:30-2:30 in the regular classroom. You must attend the exam at this time, there will be no other final exam offered, so plan on it! No calculators, notes or books are allowed during exams.

Homework: The homework assignments are posted on the class Homework Webpage. It will not be collected. It is very important that you should keep up to date and do all the assigned homework problems, even though they will not be collected for grading. We will not be using the on-line homework system WebAssign in this course. The quizzes on Friday will consist of average difficulty homework problems with the numbers changed.

Quizzes: With a few exceptions for holidays, etc, there will be a quiz on every Friday, as well as on the last day of classes, yielding about 15 quizzes for the semester. In the week of Veteran's Day and Homecoming, the quiz will be on Wednesday. The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. There are no make ups on quizzes. A missed quiz gets a zero. If you miss three quizzes, and you have documentation for all three, you can make up one quiz, etc.

Grades: The grades will be computed based on 15% for the quizzes (the two lowest quiz grades will be dropped), 60% for the in-class exams and 25% for the final exam. Grades will then be assigned according to the scale: 90 - 100 A; 87 - 89 A-; 84-86 B+; 80-83 B; 77-79 B-; etc. Any discussion about your grade on a quiz or exam must take place within one week of the date they were returned in class.

Excused Absences: In certain circumstances a student will be able to make up a missed exam. These circumstances could include medical situations, family emergencies, travel for University activities (eg. band, debating club, etc), and religious observances. In these cases the student must inform me before or within one week after the missed work and provide written documentation.

Honor Code: On all work submitted for credit by students at the university, the following pledge is either required or implied:

On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.

For more information on the student honor code see the Dean of Students Website.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: The University Policy: "Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation."
