The exam is cumulative, with an emphasis on the material since the second midterm (line integrals, surface integrals, Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem).

You are allowed to use a scientific (non-graphing) calculator and one sheet of hand-written notes.

Note Sheet Guidelines:

• You may write on both sides of the paper.
• One sheet means one sheet. Two pages stapled or taped together is not one sheet even if you only write on one side of each page.
• Hand-written means that everything on the note sheet is written by hand. There should be nothing photo-copied or computer-generated on your sheet of notes.
• Using an inappropriate note-sheet is a form of academic misconduct.

The key to doing well on this exam will be practice. Do a lot of problems. All the way through. Without help, if you can. Make your sheet of notes early and work with it as your only reference. Add to it if necessary. Avoid looking at solutions until you've exhausted all other methods.

Finding problems to practice:

• Re-do any homework problems you found particularly difficult.
• Do these sample finals taken from other instructors:
  • Sample Final (Andy Loveless) + answers
  • Sample Final (Judith Arms) + answers
  These problems do not cover everything we've done. Doing ONLY these sample exams will not prepare you well for the exam. You must know how to do all homework problems.

Textbook Information:

The textbook for this course is Calculus: Early Transcendentals, seventh edition, by Stewart. You may purchase a custom edition of the text, listed as Multivariable Calculus, at the University Book Store. (We'll use Chapters 14, 15, and 16.)

You will also need access to Webassign, the on-line homework system. If you purchased lifetime of the edition (LOE) access for the seventh edition last year, your access code should still work. If you purchased LOE for the sixth edition last year, contact me and I can arrange to have your access code transferred to the seventh edition.

If you do not yet have an access code for Stewart's text, you may purchase one here: http://www.cengagebrain.com/micro/uwmathcalc. This includes an electronic copy of the text (so you need not buy a hard copy of the text if you don't want one). You'll have immediate access to the e-Book if you choose this option, but historically, access codes have been sent via regular mail (i.e., not electronically). So, don't wait until the last minute to order your access code.
