\bigskip

This course represents the third semester in the standard Calculus sequence. We will develop the theory and practice of differentiation and integration
for functions of several variables, building upon your previous experience with functions of one variable. There will be a balance of theory and practice,
although formal proofs will not be emphasized.

{\bf IMPORTANT}.
Make sure that you will be available at these times. 
There will be no make-ups for missed mid-terms. 
However, if you need to miss an exam for an acceptable
reason, and provide me with an acceptable written excuse, 
the relevant mid-term will be `dropped' (ignored) in computing your 
course grade.
Incompletes will be granted only if documented circumstances beyond 
your control prevent you from taking the final exam. 








\medskip
{\bf HOMEWORK}: Usually assigned in class on Tuesdays, and usually 
due the following Tuesday. Only some of the problems will 
be graded, but which
ones will not be announced in advance. You are therefore strongly advised to do all the problems. Your ten best homework scores will be counted
toward your course grade. Please note that late homework will 
 not be accepted.

{\bf QUIZZES}: Quizzes will be given twice a month during recitation. 

\medskip
{\bf GRADE}: Midterm 1 $= 20\%$, Midterm 2 $=20\%$, Final$ = 40\%$, Homework $= 10\%$, 
Quizzes = $10\%$. 








\medskip
{\bf CONTACTING THE INSTRUCTOR AND/OR THE TEACHING ASSISTANT.}
E-mail is the best method for making appointments outside normal office 
hours. E-mail is not, however, a good way to ask math questions, as our typing
abilities are very limited. 





\medskip
{\bf SPECIAL NEEDS.}
If you have a physical, psychiatric, medical, or 
learning disability that may affect your ability to 
carry out the assigned course work,
please contact the office of Disabled Student Services (DSS), 
Humanities Building, room 133, telephone 632-6748/TDD. 
DSS will review your concerns
and determine what accomodations may be necessary and appropriate. 
All information and documentation of disability is confidential.
