Course description: The course is devoted to the study of multivariable calculus. We begin by introducing the coordinitization of three-dimensional space, and study vectors and vector valued 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.

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.
