Course description: The course is devoted to the study of multivariable calculus. We begin the course by looking at parametric and polar equations and other ways of viewing the Cartesian Plane. We then introuce vectors and vector functions. We will go through techniques and applications of differentiation and integration of multivariable functions. Finally we will conclude with a rigorous study of vector calculus. Click here for a more detailed schedule

Academic Honesty: Students are allowed, and in fact, strongly encouraged, to collaborate on homework assignments. However, the work that you turn in must be your own. No copying from any source! Exams and quizzes, with rare exceptions, will be closed book, closed notes, and closed colleague. You may use a calculator for your exams but you may use it for arithmetic, trigonometry, logarithmic, and exponential functions only.

Special Needs: Any student with a disability for whom special accommodations would be helpful is encouraged to discuss this with the professor as soon as possible.
