Prerequisite

Math 8

Content

This course is a sequel to Math 8 and provides an introduction to calculus of vector-valued functions. The course starts with iterated, double, triple, and surface integrals including change of coordinates. The remainder of the course is devoted to vector fields, line integrals, Green’s theorem, curl and divergence, and Stokes’ theorem.

Textbook

"Calculus Early Transcendentals Multivariable", by Rogawski & Adams, 3rd Edition, ISBN: 978-1464171758

Exams

There will be two midterm exams and a cumulative final exam. The exams are scheduled as follows:

Exam 1 Tuesday, January 24, 4:30 - 6:30 pm Moore Hall B13, Filene Auditorium
Exam 2 Tuesday, February 14, 4:30 - 6:30 pm Moore Hall B13, Filene Auditorium
Final Exam Saturday, March 11, 3:00pm Moore Hall B13, Filene Auditorium

If you have a conflict with one of the midterm exams because of a religious observance, scheduled extracurricular activity such as a game or performance [not practice], scheduled laboratory for another course, or similar commitment, please see your instructor as soon as possible. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to submit all homework on time.

Homework Policy 

Written homework assignments will be assigned weekly and will be posted on the homework page. Homework will be assigned each Friday and is due the next Wednesday. No late homework will be accepted. (Practice problems are not to be turned in, but you may be asked to present solutions in class.) The lowest homework grade will be dropped. For the homework the Honor Principle below applies.

Please turn homework in to the appropriate box outside KH 008 after the class on Wednesday.

The Honor Principle

Academic integrity is at the core of our mission as mathematicians and educators, and we take it very seriously.

Cooperation on homework is permitted and encouraged, but if you work together, do not take any paper away with you; in other words, you can share your thoughts (say on a blackboard), but you have to walk away with only your understanding. In particular, you must write the solution up on your own. Please acknowledge any collaborators at the beginning of each assignment.

On exams, you may not give or receive help from anyone. Exams in this course are closed book, and no notes, calculators or other electronic devices are permitted.

Tutorial

Our graduate teaching assistants, Yunxiang Wan and Laura Petto, will run tutorials Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 7:00-9:00pm in Kemeny 007, focusing on answering your questions as you work through the homework problems. You can get further explanations about the concepts, or ask for help with specific practice problems. Tutorials are open to all Math 13 students. You don't need an appointment. Past students have found these tutorials to be immensely helpful!

Other Outside Help

  • Office Hours: Please feel free to meet with us during office hours (or by appointment) with questions regarding homework problems or any other aspect of the course.
  • Peer Tutoring: The Tutor Clearinghouse of the Academic Skills Center provides one-on-one peer tutoring. The Math 13 study group meets every Sunday from 3:30 - 5 pm in Baker 213.

Grades

The course grade will be based upon the scores on the midterm exam, homework, and the final exam as follows:

Written homework 15%
Exam 1 25%
Exam 2 25%
Final Exam 35%
The grades can be found in the gradebook on the Canvas page of this course.

Disabilities

Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see their instructor as soon as possible.
