MYMATHLAB

We will be utilizing MyMathLab (MML) for homework through a joint code for the Thomas Calculus text. We will discuss textbook options on the first day of class. In order to register, you will need our course id listed below. You need to get the access code for the course, either by purchasing it from the Gatech bookstore. If you already have a code for Thomas or Lay from a previous Georgia Tech course, please contact Pearson to update your code. Georgia Tech has a special code package that includes the textbook. This code can only be purchased though campus bookstores or directly from Pearson. CODES PURCHASED BY OTHER VENDORS WILL NOT WORK!

TEXTBOOK

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Multivariable calculus: Linear approximation and Taylor's theorems, Lagrange multiples and constrained optimization, multiple integration and vector analysis including the theorems of Green, Gauss and Stokes. I promise you lots of examples, colorful drawings and a lively discussion of the important topics of this class. We plan to cover chapters 12-16 of the book.

MIDTERM-EXAMS

There are two in-class (during recitation) midterm exams on Wednesday February 26 and Wednesday April 2. No make-up exams. No calculators or notes. Please note that you can only take a midterm exam in the section that you have been assigned.

FINAL EXAM

Calculators or notes or powered devices are not allowed in the final exam. Conflict in final exams means having 3 final exams in the same day. In that case, you can reschedule the one in the middle. In case of a final exam conflict, I need a two week advance notice to accomodate your request. The final exam is where I lectured, and not where your recitations meet. That is, Howey Physics.

IS YOUR GRADE FAIR?

Please keep in mind that:

ATTENDANCE

Although attendance is not mandatory for the lectures and the recitations, you are strongly encouraged to attend. Students who do not attend the lectures statistically do below average--and usually end up with a C or lower grade. Attendance is an important part of learning. During the lectures, you should turn all powered devices (including phones, laptops, music players) off.

GRADES

The final course grade will be calculated according to the following scheme: If the average course grade (out of 100) is
