integration and its applications in several variables, vector fields, and line, surface and volume integrals,
Green’s and Stokes Theorems.
Extra help: A list of private tutors is available at the Math Department office in JWB 233. Also check
out University tutoring services (www.sa.utah.edu/tutoring), and T. Benny Rushing Mathematics
Tutoring Center (http://www.math.utah.edu/ugrad/tutoring.html).
Homework: Homework is due every Monday by the end of class. If you turn in your homework after
class on Monday and before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, your homework score will be multiplied by a factor
of 0.75. No homework will be accepted after Wednesday 5p.m. The lowest homework grade will be
dropped.
In-class quiz: In-class quizzes are for emphasizing the importance of definitions and theorems. They
usually happen at the end of lectures. The lowest two grades of in-class quizzes will be dropped.
Lab: Lab sections will be held weekly with your lab instructor Olakunle Bolanle Eso, (kunleeso@gmail.com).
Examples will be covered followed by group work and presentations. A take-home quiz will be given
at the end of the lab. The lowest two quiz grades will be dropped.
Exams: There will be three midterm exams during the course of the semester, with a cumulative final
exam at the end. There are no retakes, and without prior approval and extenuating circumstances, no
makeups. If a makeup exam is deemed necessary, the exam may be different and more difficult than
the in-class exam. As a universal policy, no work = no credit. Writing your solutions as you would
like to see on a solution key, clearly with step-by-step detail, is a good guideline to getting full credit.
There will be four exams:
Exam 1: 2013 FEB 07,
Exam 2: 2013 MAR 07,
Exam 3: 2013 APR 04,
Final Exam: 2013 APR 26.
Project: Each student will participate in a project to apply the knowledge in this course to engineering
applications. Details will come later in the semester.
In the classroom: Attendance is not mandatory. However, students will be held responsible for
all the materials, announcements, and in-class quizzes made during class. Cell phones and laptops
must be turned off and put away during class times. Please try to be on time and unless given
prior approval, I expect you to stay through to the end of class. Chronically leaving class early or
arriving late may result in points lost on homework assignments. If you must miss class, please read
through the sections in the book before coming to me with questions. “All students are expected to
maintain professional behavior in the classroom setting, according to the Student Code, spelled out
in the Student Handbook. Students have specific rights in the classroom as detailed in Article III of
the Code. The Code also specifies proscribed conduct (Article XI) that involves cheating on tests,
plagiarism, and/or collusion, as well as fraud, theft, etc. Students should read the Code carefully
and know they are responsible for the content. According to Faculty Rules and Regulations, it is the
1
faculty responsibility to enforce responsible classroom behaviors, beginning with verbal warnings and
progressing to dismissal from class and a failing grade. Students have the right to appeal such action
to the Student Behavior Committee.”
Grades: I will use Canvas (accessible through cis.utah.edu) to post your grades. Please check to make
sure what is posted is consistent with what you received on paper and if not, let me know within a
week from the day the assignment was returned. The breakdown for the course grade is as follows:
Homework: 15%
In-class quizzes: 5%
Lab quizzes: 10%
Project: 10%
Exams: 13% (each)
Final exam: 21%
Final grades will be distributed as follows:
A ≥ 92%, A- ≥ 90%, B+ ≥ 88%, B ≥ 82%, B- ≥ 80%,
C+ ≥ 78%, C ≥ 72%, C- ≥ 70%, D+ ≥ 68%, D ≥ 62%, D- ≥ 60%, E < 60%.
Various extra credit opportunities will be given randomly throughout the semester. Three examples
are (1) identifying errors in solutions posted online, (2) correctly answering difficult in-class questions,
(3) correctly answering questions in exams marked as “extra-credit.”
