Course Web Page: HW solutions, past exams, announcements, etc.: http://amath.colorado.edu/courses/2350/.

Course Goals:

To learn the concepts and techniques of multi-variable calculus,

To develop problem-solving strategies fundamental to success in engineering and applied sciences,

To sharpen written communication skills through computer projects.

Blue Books: All students should submit 4 blank blue books with the first homework assignment on June 7.

Recitation: Recitations taught by the course TA will be held weekly. The goal of the recitation is to provide a time in which specific homework and project questions can be addressed in more detail than time would allow in lecture. There will also be weekly quizzes to prepare students for exams.

Homework: Homework will be assigned for each section of the book covered. Assignments will be due on Mondays and Wednesdays in lecture/reciation. No late homework will be accepted. You are encouraged to study with others in the class; however, the homework solution write-ups must be your own.

Exams: There will be three in-class exams each covering approximately one-third of the course material. The final exam will be comprehensive with emphasis on the concluding material and will consist of a take-home and in-class portion. Dates for exams are listed below. No make up exams will be given and a missed exam will result in no credit. If a student knows in advance he/she must be absent on an exam day he/she should make arrangements with the instructor at least one week before the exam. Only in rare circumstances will early exams be considered. Calculators are not allowed on exams. A limited formula sheet will be provided to you on all exams.

Projects: There will be two computer-based projects assigned in the course. The goal of these projects is:

To be able to integrate computation with problem solving skills,

To work effectively in small groups, and,

To communicate the findings in a report.

Grades: Final course grades are based on a total of 600 points: 100 points each for the first two exams, 150 points for the final exam, 50 points each for two projects, 50 points for quizzes and 100 points for homework scores.
