Lecture notes 3: Calculus 3, Part 3


Grades will be determined as follows: The course will be curved to have a right distribution of grades.


Calculators

You are not allowed to use calculators on quizzes and exams, although problems in LON CAPA often require calculator. On the exams and quizzes you do not have to simplify the final answer or find the decimal approximation. I want to see that you know how to solve the problems and simplification of the answer is irrelevant here.


Homework

All graded homework will be done online, using the LON CAPA system.


Quizzes

Quizzes will be during recitations on Wednesday. No makup quizzes, but the lowest two scores from the quizzes will be dropped (that allows you to miss two quizzes without penalty).

Quiz #1: Wednesday, January 14: vectors, dot product, cross product, equations of lines and planes. Four problems 20 minutes.

Quiz #2: Wednesday, January 28: planes and classification of quadratic surfaces. Four problems 20 minutes.

Quiz #3: Wednesday, February 4: parametric equations of a line tangent to a curve, domain of a vector function, length of a curve, curvature of a parabola. Four problems 20 minutes.

Quiz #4: Wednesday, February 11: sketch of a dommain of a function of two variables (similar to an example on pages 158-159 in my notes), finding a limit or showing that it does not exist, checking that a function satisfies a partial differential equation, finding an equation of a tangent plane to a graph. Four problems 20 minutes.


Exam schedule:

First midterm exam: February 16

Second midterm exam: March 30

Final exam: TBA
