Course Overview
Math 126 can be divided into three sections. The first will introduce geometry, involving vectors, lines, planes and other surfaces, polar coordinates, and vector functions. The next is functions of two variables, with new notions of differentiation and integration de ned for them. The last returns to functions of one variable to introduce approximation using Taylor polynomials and Taylor series.

Course Policies
Late work will not be accepted for any reason. You will be allowed to miss one worksheet without penalty to your grade. In case of observance of religious holidays or participation in university sponsored activities, arrangements must be made at least 2 days in advance for worksheets and 1 week in advance for exams. You will be required to provide documentation for your absence. Make-up exams will not be given. If you miss an exam due to unavoidable, compelling, and well-documented circumstances, your final exam will be weighted more heavily.
Only scientific calculators will be allowed. Turn off all electronic devices during class.
