TEXT: Calculus: Early Transcendentals (6th ed.); by James Stewart, 2008; Thomson Brooks/Cole, ISBN 0-495-01166-6.
CALCULATOR POLICY: Using a CAS like Mathematica
or Maple can give more insight but it is not required. From time to time we will be using technology tools to
get more insight into the topics.
MATERIAL TO BE COVERED (and Objectives for the course—subject to be
adjusted along the way):
Depending on how you react, I may spend more or less time on a topic, however, all the topics will have to be covered, which means that you may have to cover some material yourselves, in the comfort of your homes, with me answering your questions the next class.
Tentative hours to be spent on each Topic/Section:
| HOURS | TOPICS | SECTION HOMEWORK | |
| 3-3 | Vector Fields | 16.1: 3, 5, 9, 11-14, 15-18, 23, 25, 29-32 | |
| 3-6 | Line Integrals | 16.2: 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 19, 21, 41 | |
| 3-9 | Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals | 16.3: 1, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 21 | |
| 3-12 | Green’s Theorem | 16.4: 2, 3-13(odd) | |
| 3-15 | Curl and Divergence | 16.5: 1-7(odd), 13-17(odd), 37 | |
| 3-18 | Parametric Surfaces and Their Areas | 16.6: 1, 3, 19, 21, 37-43(odd) | |
| 3-21 | Surface Integrals | 16.7: 5, 7, 11, 19-25(odd) | |
| 3-24 | Stokes’ Theorem | 16.8: 3, 9, 13, 15, 17 | |
| 3-27 | Divergence Theorem | 16.9: 3-13(odd), 17 | |
| 1-28 | Summary | 16.10: Concept Check, True-False Quiz | |
| 5-33 | Reviews, Exams, Holidays | ||
HOMEWORK: You are encouraged to do as many problems as you can
from the book. However the standard (default) assignment for each week is to
read carefully the indicated sections and to prepare for homework the problems
I will assign in class. The homework will not be collected. However the exams
may contain problems (or similar to the ones) from the assigned homework.
TESTS &
GRADING: You will be given
a total of 3 exams (each exam will cover three sections, and each will be worth
50pts) (be aware that you will need to take the exam right after these sections
are finished, so it could be next day, and so, you need to keep up with the
material. However, most likely it will be on Monday -- to keep up with our
custom).
The number of possible points is 150. For
the letter grade I will use the following scale:
130-139: A-
120-129: B+
110-119: B
100-109: B-
90-99: C+
80-89: C
70-79: C-
60-69: D+
50-59: D
00-49: failing grade.
An unresolved absence from one test results in a final grade of “FA”.
ACADEMIC HONESTY: Cheating in this course will not be tolerated
and will be dealt with as harshly as the University permits. I will report any
student behavior that appears contrary to the standards of discipline and
academic honesty or in violations of the provisions described in the current
edition of NPS Student's Catalog.
CLASS
ATTENDANCE AND ENVIRONMENT:
You should do every attempt to arrive on time and attend each class. You are responsible
for the material covered in missed classes. I do not tolerate any rude
behavior; however, I encourage constructive comments on the material and/or
lecture. We have to maintain a class environment conducive to learning
therefore I am against bringing “active” cell phones, pagers, and
other similar disruptive devices into the classroom. Children may not be
brought into the classroom except in emergency circumstances and with my
permission. When on breaks,
please respect other classes in sessions and avoid disturbing them.
NOTES:
* It is a bit of material to be covered at a very fast pace, so, I advise you
not to fall behind.
* If it is necessary, there will be updates of this handout. Make sure you
check my personal homepage, regularly, for info on the course.
* Good luck ! I hope you will all master Calculus and make good grades!
